Have you ever done or experienced something that you think deserves more recognition than it received? You’re not alone. A Reddit thread on the topic just went viral, with thousands of people chiming in. Here are 14 of the most upvoted “weird flexes” that people online were proud of (and what others had to say about them…).
14. The Chef With Flexible Arms
Weird Flex:
“I can turn my arm all the way around 360 degrees and I make some of best shrimp and grits you’ll ever have.”
Top Comments:
“Now I know why my shrimp and grits never turn out right. I’ve been facing the stove.”
“I can do the same thing with my arms. My weirdly flexible elbow also allows me to kinda bend it “backwards” so this way I can reach around corners and stuff, pretty useful sometimes when I’m sitting/lying and don’t have to change my position to reach something. Hypermobility ftw.”
13. The Person Who Can Mimic Birds
Weird Flex:
“I can mimic the sounds of birds, get all the birds in the area to start singing, and even get them to seek out the “big bird.” It’s kinda funny to have them completely change their song when they realize I am not a bird, almost screeching at me sometimes (especially cat birds).”
Top Comments:
“Sadly this can be a real problem for wild birds, it’s called playback. A bird replying to you is usually it getting highly agitated, especially for territorial species and/or in breeding season. They’re burning energy doing it, exposing themselves to predators, possibly pulling them away from protecting a nest etc etc.”
“It would be very funny to go hiking with you in the forest.”
12. The Person With Cursive Writing
Weird Flex:
“My cursive handwriting is beautiful. Like some thing that came out of an old legal document from the 19 century I get compliments about it all the time even though many young people can’t read it.”
Top Comments:
“I once got told by a substitute teacher “You have very beautiful handwriting… for a boy.” Seems somewhat sexist but Ill take it.”

11. The Undefeated Little League Coach
Weird Flex:
“Undefeated 7 & 8 year old little league baseball coach! Especially proud because I was given what they though was a castaway squad. Our tactics we non conventional but we freaking crushed.”
Top Comments:
“That’s so wholesome!! I bet the kiddos had a great time!”
“First and foremost, The undefeated part is awesome! I am impressed, especially for the enthusiasm and extra work you put in to make your team play their best! Ok, flip side, I think the bigger flex is how many kids you can encourage to keep playing year after year. Baseball is the perfect blend of individual performance combined with teamwork.”
10. That Person With Incredible Reflexes
Weird Flex:
“While drinking a glass of whiskey and smoking a cigarette I accidentally dropped my phone and somehow caught it on the tip of my foot. No one was there to see it happen. I’m proud as hell of that one in a million catch.”
Top Comments:
“I once dropped my phone on a roller coaster and the person behind me caught it! Not a flex for me, but definitely for him.”
“I used to play rugby, my instinct now is to kick anything falling toward my foot…. phones been launched once or twice.”
9. The Person With the Blessed YouTube Account
Weird Flex:
“My youtube account is blessed. I have not received an ad in over a decade, and I do not pay for premium. I don’t use ad blockers, and I’ve tested it by adding my account to my friend’s TVs and other devices. They get ads on their account, but I do not.”
Top Comments:
“This is a real thing. It’s a statistical control to test things like how many viewers they lose due to ads.”
“This is me but with Instagram! Never got an ad!”
8. The Person Who Still Has Their Chapsticks
Weird Flex:
“I’ve finished three chapsticks in a row without losing them.”
Top Comments:
“How did they taste I can’t seem to get the good flavored ones to chew.”
“Okayyyy. No reason to flex THAT hard. Damn.”
“I legitimately don’t think I’ve ever finished an entire chapstick in my life.”
7. The Person With Residual Vision
Weird Flex:
“I’m a legally blind person, so I have residual vision. I can still walk around my apartment and find my stuff when there’s a power outage using muscle memory.”
Top Comments:
“I have bad vision and when it’s dark I don’t even attempt to look at what I’m doing it’s all just by memory. Until I stub my toe on something out of place.”
“As someone with RP (basically 0 low light vision) I live for these moments. Last night I rolled the recycling out to the street without hitting any cars. The mind is a crazy thing.”
6. The Person Who Can Mimic a Cow
Weird Flex:
“I can resemble the “moo” of a cow rather accurately with my voice.”
Top Comments:
“I was over 40 when I learned this sound has a name and it’s called “lowing”.”
“Cows don’t say mooo, they say Nerrrrr (leave your lips closed and lower your voice tone as much as you can, then force the last syllable strongly).”
5. The Person with an Impressive Belly Button
Weird Flex:
“Opening beer bottles with my belly button.”
Top Comments:
“I gotta see this.”
“”Sir, please, just use a bottle opener like all the other bartenders.””
4. The Long-Distance Swimmer
Weird Flex:
“I swam the gap between Sicily and mainland Italy.”
Top Comments:
“I just climbed the stairs from the ground level to floor 3, and I only got a little bit winded. I’m probably ready for this.”
“I’m not sure that counts. That’s a flex in anybody’s book! Nice!”
3. The Older Guy Who Lost Lots of Weight
Weird Flex:
“At 62, I lost 400lbs in 2 1/2 years.”
Top Comments:
“I lost 800 pounds in about 4 hours. Of course, I was at a casino in England…but still.”
“Not even a weird flex bro. That’s a huge achievement for anyone, especially 60+. Congratulations.”
2. The Teacher With the Magic Touch
Weird Flex:
After explaining that a student with sensory issues once refused to let anybody do their hair but her, this redditor said:
“…For a time, my weird flex was that this precious little girl only wanted me to do her hair. I wonder if she’ll remember when she gets older how much we adults all cracked up about “Miss Classic does my hair right”.”
Top Comments:
“You got her over the intense sensory issue she had surrounding getting her hair done – she will ALWAYS remember you. Sometimes it just takes someone else doing the thing instead of a parent to show them that it is doable and enjoyable.”
“This flex made me smile!”
1. The Person With Impressive Butt Cheeks
Weird Flex:
“I can squeeze my butt cheeks so tight it cracks my tailbone like cracking your knuckles.”
Top Comments:
“You can also apparently make many redditors flex their butt cheeks with just a sentence.”
“A very literal weird flex.”
