Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Was born with super small feet in the 1st percentile as well as hands due to a benign genetic issue. Totally healthy but shoe shopping is always awkward. Have decent balance and can walk and run fine as my calf muscles are quite developed to compensate. No, the myth isn't true.

Where's the guy with the ridiculously huge feet? We need to get you in touch so you can balance each other out.

I once knew a woman who was just under 5 feet and wore women’s size 10 shoes (men’s 8). She called herself a hobbit all the time.

Yeah I was wondering the same thing.
