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.

Due to a pituitary issue when I was younger I have maybe a bizarre world record of the smallest feet and hands on a fully grown man. My feet and hands are normal looking but very small. They were tiny as a baby and just never grew that big. Thought you all would find it interesting - I know it makes for good chat at parties!

Compared to my friend's size 10 the difference is quite dramatic

These pictures are crazy. You weren't kidding!

My brain keeps telling me it’s some kind of forced perspective, seeing how your foot looks normal and the shoe abnormally big.

That's definitely how the world seems to me...everyone is Bigfoot! I do have more photos of size differences of course but I don't want to subject you all to more photos of my deformed feet.

The pics with the shoes on, they really don't look noticeable. But yeah that one you could definitely tell. Also, your hands don't look small at all. Compared to your body they really look proportional. And this is very interesting, not mildly! I wouldn't mind seeing more pictures, and I'm sure people wouldn't as well, as long as you're ok sharing.

Thanks! This is a shot just on a ferry - this guy was shorter than me I think maybe size 11 feet?

And my feet from the side in size 9 shoes

Compared to a random print in the snow...

And my foot measured...

I wasn't going to ask for shoeless foot pics because that feels weird, but thanks for doing so. Curiosity sated.

It's cool...I get it.
