I'm unable to snap a loud one with my fingers or to blow a bubble from chewing gum. What's more, I can't swim (psychological reasons).
What are your secret "defects"?
- I can't blow a bubble from chewing gum either, I guess it has to do with me not eating chewing gum when I was a little boy.
- I can't whistle loudly, the way people do with their fingers inside their mouth of pressing their lips with their fingers.
- I can't use eye teardrops (or however it is called) because eye-related stuff impresses me in a very bad way.
- I can't stand anyone touching my neck except while having sex.
- I get dizzy if anyone says loud the word "veins"
- Can't beat headwind.
Phobia... I have too many to list. Maybe fear of the height is the strongest. Few months ago it caused a nice panic attack at the top of a 80 m high tower - I thought it will be a closed one, but when I stepped out from the elevator, I had to face a narrow open gallery with a dense grid flooring under my feet (if you watch down, you can see the deep). I couldn't turn back and had to spend 5 minutes up there.
The 101th floor in the highest building of Shanghai (higher than 500m) has glass floor. Highly recommended to you then :)

Even the glass floor in Westend (~10 m) is too much for me. :D

Then how the heck did you get into those hanging boxes you call elevators?

It's closed, you can't see where you are. My fear of height disappears if I'm at a closed place (no fear at 22th floor).
Another "defect": I can bend up my thumbs and my big toes by 90 degrees (looks like a broken one).
Is paranoia considered as a defect?
