Redditor It_was_I_who_farted wanted to hear about what physical parts of ourselves rub us the wrong way.
They asked:
"What's the most annoying thing about your body?"
My hair.
I want my old hair back.
The gray is not working for me.
And my fingers, I wish they were longer.
Don't ask.
Colors of the Wind
"I have three natural hair colours, blonde hair on my head, black eyebrows, and a beard ranging from blonde to light red to brownish. body hair is black too." ~ Naberius_Bune
Giphyhate needing meds...
"Epilepsy. As long as I need medication to keep functioning, I need to have a job with medical insurance. And if I change jobs, I lose insurance for a while." ~ whywouldistop1913
"I grew up on Medicaid/Medicare because my mom had epilepsy. Once they thought she had it under control, she got a job, car and started working. She died in a car crash because she had a seizure going to work early one morning. Yes, it sucks." ~ JackOfAllDevs
Go ask your doctor
"How much I sweat. I can grab a controller and just play whatever and two minutes later it's like someone was mouth breathing on it." ~ kaseadios
"Seriously, I went years just living with it and I know it did a number on my self-esteem and mental health."
"Then I asked my doctor and she was like, oh yeah, that's a medical condition, here's a pill for that. I cannot express how dumb I felt putting myself through all that. Go ask your doctor. Glycopyrrolate is the medicine I was prescribed, it works very well with minimal side effects (for me, at least)." ~ MisterMasterCylinder
A Close Shave
"The fact that the hair that my dad lost from his head seemed to magically appear on my butt." ~ benthebear3
"I'm 42 and have been shaving my head for close to 15 years because I was starting to get the horseshoe shaped hair of my grandpa on my mom's side (hair around the sides and back and bald on top). Meanwhile, my dad at 75 has full head of hair." ~ lipp79
I hate cancer.
I'm so sorry.
Good vibes all over.
Struck Down
"I get random freaking allergies out of nowhere." ~ Bruce-Led
"I developed 5 new allergies in my 20’s. As I grow older, my body is beginning to reject the world." ~ Itsafinelife
GiphyConnected to this bone...
"I have developed a hip problem that keeps me from running for exercise. Was my favorite pastime for 20 years." ~ DontShootTheFood
"This was a major issue of mine until I strengthened my glutes by laying on my side and writing the alphabet with my foot. I also started squatting with the bands which forces me to activate my outer glute. Sometimes stretching isn't the answer. Sometimes it's a strength imbalance." ~ jnickpeters
Gassy
"Anything and I mean anything I eat causes bloating and gas. I've tried the enzymes before eating, keeping a food journal etc and nothing. I'm to the point of not wanting to eat at all. It's just not worth the pain and discomfort. And unlike guys who think it's funny to be gassy, it's not so funny when you're a girl. 😥". ~ SkyRain1
I had no idea...
"Lack of a working pancreas." ~ MrPhoen1xx
"Same for me. Then my immune system took out my thyroid. Been this way since I was 2. Then blood clots caused a stroke. Went to the doc they said my hand quit working because of carpel tunnel 8 days later another blood clot stopped my heart for 5 minutes. Said type 1 was the cause. So anyway be vigilant and if your hand goes numb demand proper tests. I had no idea." ~ Mycatlovesbiscuits
Explosions
"I sneeze whenever I see a bright light. So any time I go outside. And I have a really explosive sneeze." ~ BloodieOllie
GiphyBowels
"Endometriosis. Basically my organs are fusing together."
CapaxInfini
"I had all of my female organs ( except 1 ovary) removed in 2017 due to stage 4 endometriosis and I had no idea it was even there. It was so bad that some of the tissue was attached to my bowels. I now have an area of bowel that cramps so bad when I have to poop that I can't hold it very well."
GuaranteeComfortable
Sucks
"It's a toss up between my knees that sound like twisting bubble wrap when i bend them, or the fact that i just recently was diagnosed with a sliding hiatal hernia. Im in constant pain and i shit 5 times a day, so probably that."
Ghost_on_Toast
"Hiatal hernia sufferer here, I feel you... I can't swallow fish oil pills without suffering massive pain and having to throw them back up because they won't fit through the hole to my stomach. Gummy vitamins only 😞. Sucks."

stretch marks forever...
"Used to be fat, stuck with stretch marks forever."
aRustyOldCan
"I got stretch marks from just hitting puberty. Thighs grow… stretch marks. Butt comes out… stretch marks. Hips widen… stretch marks. Boobs grow… stretch marks."
"They freaking SUCK! And there’s no way to get rid of them. But sometimes I look at them and they look like thin little rivers. Rivers that helped water our bodies to grow and become the body we have today."

"safe"
"I have IBS, and my food triggers are very inconsistent. I will eat a 'safe' food for a few months and be fine, then out of nowhere it suddenly starts triggering my IBS. Doctors keep telling me I'm not trying hard enough to control my flares and symptoms with my diet. It's very frustrating."
Kindly-Mango1655
Spite
"My reproductive system. It's diseased and it's the bane of my existence. I know for a fact that it's out to spite me because I'll bleed for weeks, stop bleeding, then as soon as I decide it's safe enough to wear my pretty underwear, it starts again. It does it on purpose."
TheCounsellingGamer
Inhale
"Bad lungs. I use to be forced to carry Charcoal dust off the flatbed trucks delivering cheap coal in England 1978, I had to use a paper log rolling machine and fill them with the coal dust and make paper logs for our fire place. After a year I developed really bad asthma and am now 51 and carry oximeter, inhalers etc."
MarcoMontana
Godawful
"My freaking godawful eyesight that just keeps getting worse. Glasses cost so f**king much, and I need them for everything. Getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom? Glasses. Swimming? Prescription goggles. Sunny day? Prescription sunglasses. Cost? You don't even want to f**king know. And I'm only in my 20s so I don't even want to think how bad it's gonna be in 30 or 40 years."
Astrophysicist42
S
"I have scoliosis expect I’ve got the rare version of it that causes back pain. How does this happen? Instead of curving like an S like scoliosis normally does my spine curves the other way which is the only way scoliosis can cause pain!"
noobboi645
rare...
"I have a rare mutation of colorectal cancer spread to my liver, lungs and in my whole blood stream basically. BRAF G469R and KRAS E63K are my tumor mutations. 22 chemos and several surgeries later, my only option is to find a clinical trial that will stop (or slow down) cancer cells from spreading and growing. 32 years old."

Like come on?!?
"My boobs are annoyingly big. A 5' 4" girl should not have 36G (USA) boobs. I lost weight before Covid, from 177lbs to 155lbs (I now gained everything back sadly) and my boobs stayed the same. Like come on?!?! My best friend got a boob job recently, I really wish I could've just given her my tits cause I don't want them anymore!!!"

big tits GIFGiphyDamn colds and allergies. That is clearly only the tip of the iceberg.
Redditor kammenion wanted to hear about all the wonders of a special place, they asked:
"What is the first thing that comes to your mind about Greece?"
Men. And cliffs. Greek men and cliffs. They always get me wondering about Greece. Is there more?
Construction
"Ancient greek architecture and the Olympics." ~ mj26110
"I took a class last term on Ancient Greek art and architecture so this is all I think of when I hear Greece." ~ OneIsAnEvenNumber
Giphyyummies...
"Gyros." ~ DeceptiveDuck
"Greek food is probably the best food out there! Many years ago I travelled to Kos with my parents and brother and there we had the most amazing lunch ever - fresh tuna steaks off the grill, a drizzle of olive oil, some sea salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Some home-made bread and a small salad came with it. Gosh, that was perfection!" ~ Cattitude0812
Epic Past
"Their Mythology." ~ Far-Bug5843
"I see everyone commenting on more recent mythology. When I think of Greek history and mythology and literature, I think of the Odyssey. Trojan wars.. Thermopylae… Phoenicians. Alexander the Great taking over Cyprus. Gay sex at the Acropolis." ~ olderandnowiser1492
"Ah, mythology, is comes from Greek words 'muth', means 'legend', and 'logia' is means 'study'. So, muth, logia, muthologia, mythology, and there you go." ~ oh_what_a_surprise
I was properly amazed...
"Souvlaki, orange trees in the streets, 'to mouni serni karavi.' I was properly amazed, I mean there were some streets in Athens where car tyres were drowned in orange juice puddles. I mentioned it to my Greek friend and she was like 'So, what's wrong with that ?' Not to mention the smell! Seriously though, you guys have quite an awesome country." ~ Chatmousque
On the hill...
"White buildings on a steep hillside near the water." ~ Jealous-Relation4147
"That's Santorini. They say it's the most beautiful place on earth where you can see the sunset." ~ Kuhai_
GiphyCan I live on that hill? Do I have to keep the blue/white theme?
HER
"A friend of mine is half-greek, and I'm completely in love with her. Definitely the first thing I think when anything Greek is mentioned." ~ SchrezkN7-109
Giphy"I DO"
"Y'all make killer lemon potatoes. A local Greek family brings them to every event and they're only gonna let me get a look at the recipe for them if I marry in. I'm considering it." ~ 0u94lay
Culture
"The first thing that comes to mind about Greece is that it is a beautiful country with a rich culture. I have always wanted to visit Greece, and I hope to do so in the near future." ~ Impressive_Ant_3054
"Totally recommend visiting also try to visit things they are not advertised so much and are not very organized for tourists and meet ppl there and try new things and be spontaneous and don't hold back." ~ kammenion
Everything
"Blue water. White columns. Super duper hot guys with olive skin and glorious, thick, curly black hair. Same with women- gorgeous hair, that attitude the Greek women I’ve met have. Also their names are melodic. Never been to Greece but I’ve had Greek friends." ~ TheGasIsLit
On the Water
"Sailing. We rented a boat in Kos and island hopped around. Ended up in the middle of a Medicane (Mediterranean hurricane). That last part was Level 2 fun, but fun nonetheless. I think the highlight of the trip was harboring in Kalymnos. We went ashore and found out a wedding was happening that night. The bride’s family invited us to attend (the whole town was there)."
"So we went back and swam ashore with a dry bag full of nicer clothes and had a great time. It was a pretty nice trip. I saw Athens and all of the ancient stuff, but the endless Odyssey references due to the storm and our inability to get where we wanted to be is what I remember." ~ skwrl71
My bags are packed.
I'm ready.
