Reddit user Prestigious_Shape888 recently asked people to share the weird things their bodies do that they don’t understand. From surprising body fluids to random snaps, pops, and flicks, here’s what folks revealed:

1.“I produce a truly astonishing amount of earwax. I have to clean my ears out several times a day. Sometimes when I get hot, I feel it dripping slowly, driving me nuts.”

—But_like_whytho

2.“Whenever I hold batteries or magnets, I get this very distinct and uniquely painful sensation in my hands/arms/whichever part of my body is making contact with them. It grows more intense/painful the longer the contact continues.”

—Eclectically44

3.“Every time I eat cherries close to my period, I get a red mark on the base of my nose where the bottom part meets my upper lip. I thought I scratched myself at first! Experimented with this theory over the past three months, and it’s a pattern!”

6.“My wrists hurt when I’m sad.”

—Key-Guitar-1212

7.“I have a milk duct thingy above my collarbone. Never knew about it until it popped up during my first pregnancy, and then my doctor checked it out, and it turned out to be a tiny extra pocket for milk almost in my neck.”

—louisa_pizza

8.“My left eye has, over time, lost its color. It’s nearly black like the pupil. My right eye is as it’s always been, hazel. My vision has not been affected in any way whatsoever, and my eyes are healthy.”

—imcaz

9.“I’m allergic to my own progesterone. I have to go to the ER a lot.”

—TheBunny4444

10.“When I’m very hungry, there’s this fizzing sound coming from the back of my throat. It will disappear when I’m no longer hungry. It is audible if the person puts their ear close to my neck. I have yet to find an explanation on the internet.”

—sopranosforpandas

“Sometimes, if I’m extremely hungry, the back of my neck will fizz like I’ve got soda in my spine.”

—Electronic-Tea-221

11.“I can painlessly dislocate my shoulders. My right shoulder makes a noise. It’s hilarious when that overly-friendly coworker decides to grab my shoulder and POP. He absolutely feels it moving, too.”

12.“Whenever I sneeze, I sneeze three times in a row.”

—PositiveAd823

13.“I get itchy when I exercise. It’s unbearable, and apparently I’m not the only one. I manage.”

—One-Turn-4037

14.“I leak from my ears when I cry. I mentioned it to an ENT once, and he thought that maybe there was some odd connection from my tear ducts or sinuses that was causing it and that it might explain why I had chronic sinus/ear infections as a kid.”

—Walmartian_Beta

15.“Sometimes there are two streams when I pee.”

—aesthetic_kiara

16.“There is an area on my right cheek that, if touched lightly, I completely lose my hearing in both ears from what feels like extreme chills running over my face.”

17.“Sometimes I just shiver for a split second for no reason, even when it’s piping hot outside.”

—ForkliftCertifiedKat

18.“When I stretch or breathe in certain ways, I feel a ‘flick’ sensation at the bottom of my left rib, almost like something is getting caught on it and then snaps back like a rubber band. I have no idea what it is and have found no answers online, but it doesn’t bother me enough to ask my doctor.”

—elscrappo3

19.“I can voluntarily flex my tympanic membranes, which is rarer than I originally thought. I thought everyone could make thunder in their ears, but nope.”

—wanderingstorm

20.“I can vibrate my eyes back and forth extremely fast, cross both eyes independently in all directions, and even make my left eye lazy if I really try (or am super tired). I’ve never met anyone with the same ocular control I have, though if I do it too much, it starts to hurt my eye sockets and results in a headache.”

—AdditionalCoy

21.“My nose starts to itch terribly when I use an electric toothbrush.”

—gymrat0814

22.“If someone lightly brushes against my stomach or sides, all my core muscles contract, and I jump hard. It’s completely involuntary, but my girlfriend takes it so personally, like I’m acting like she punched me.”

—ButterPoptart

23.“I can pop a tendon in my ankle in and out of place ever since I broke it when I was 9. It makes a very audible sound, and everyone I’ve shown it to has hated it.”

—CallieZayas

24.“I gleek EVERY time I yawn.”

—GanjaSpartan

25.“Depending on where I touch or scratch on my arms and hands, I can feel the sensation in other parts of my body. Oh, and my nervous system just likes to go haywire and keep me on my toes occasionally. Like, ‘Oh, hey. I heard that you have to make a phone call, or do some other normally mundane task you’ve done a thousand times…but now it’s scary! I hope you like that feeling where you’re about to fall backwards in a chair, for hours on end!'”

—Abject_Presentation8

26.“I can wiggle my whole scalp, similar to how some people can wiggle their ears.”

—wilford_industries

27.“Sometimes my right eye starts shedding tears for no reason.”

—conohena

28.“I’m developing Musical Ear Syndrome, or musical tinnitus. When it’s quiet and I’m trying to sleep, I’ll hear what sounds like a radio playing quietly in another room. It seems to be a form of tinnitus that, instead of hearing a ringing or buzzing, your brain generates musical sounds as an interpretation. It freaks me out sometimes.”

—CampbellArmada

29.“Sometimes when eating carrots, I sneeze pieces of them out later.”

—alligatorislater

30.“My nose begins to run when I’m having a shit. No idea why. It goes away immediately after I’ve finished and stand up.”

—YoungBuck656

31.“I get rubber band snaps in my legs and arms before I get a fever. I know when I feel snapping feelings in my shins/forearms, I’m done for; I’m sick.”

—huckleberry503

32.“I sneeze when there is light reflecting off windows, regardless of whether it’s sunlight or just a normal light. It catches my eye, and I sneeze. I have no idea why.”

—Altruistic_Buyer2979

33.And: “Sometimes, my jaw twitches at the same time as when I blink — usually in the morning. I never noticed it until I started Invisalign, where it actually hurts since I’m clacking my teeth together with the twitching. It completely stops around an hour after waking up.”
