<p>I was not the father on a popular trash tv show, I didn't jump for joy or try to hog the camera. I came in knowing that it was extremely unlikely that the child was mine took the test for peace of mind and went home. I don't tell people because in hindsight it was extremely embarrassing for me. I had to share a stage with a lot more guys than I was expecting, some of which were total scumbags. The company she kept made me ask myself a lot of questions. </p><p><span></span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/imur0o/whats_a_fun_fact_about_yourself_that_you_dont/g430jzo?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">PM_Me_UrRightNipple</a></p>Second Nature....
<p>I hardly ever bend over to pick up things when I'm at home. I almost exclusively use my toes and pick things up with my feet. Im really really good at it too. I'm so proud because my kids all have the same prowess as their old man, it's like second nature now.</p><p><span></span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/imur0o/whats_a_fun_fact_about_yourself_that_you_dont/g430yhd?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">Jetmohsli</a></p>kaboom!Â
<p>I made homemade explosives my first year in college with simple household ingredients. I stopped the night I was nearly caught, like I had suddenly realized that what I was doing was not a simple prank.</p><p>I think about that every now and again when someone says that people are not fully formed adults until later in their twenties. </p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/imur0o/whats_a_fun_fact_about_yourself_that_you_dont/g42zb7j?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">boredonAskReddit</a></p>Goals...

<p>I can identify major credit card brands by their first digit, thanks to a seasonal job I had 11 years ago. 4 is Visa, 5 is Mastercard, 6 is Discover. AmEx starts with 3, which will always be followed by either 4 or 7. AmEx cards also have fewer digits but longer security codes.</p><p>I also just set my keys down and don't know where they are. So I guess a fun fact about myself is that my short term and working memory are absolute trash, but I have a pretty great long term memory. </p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/imur0o/whats_a_fun_fact_about_yourself_that_you_dont/g43ide8?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank"> Toast_91</a><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Toast_91/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a></p>Smartypants....
