It’s very human to be proud of something. That something, though, does have weird social criteria that determine it to be worthy of other people’s praise.
But what if it’s not? What if it’s weird? Well, at the very least, these Redditors will appreciate (and crack jokes about) it. In a recent AskReddit thread, folks were sharing some of the weirdest flexes they were proud of. In weird, unorthodox ways, but, hey, it counts.
Scroll down to check out the best ones, and why not share some of your weird flexes in the comment section below!

I’m not an addict and my kids 8 and has never been in foster care or involved with child protective services. I come from a long line of addicts and unruly white trash, and though I don’t have a high paying job, I do work and provide above and beyond what my parents ever did, without government aid.
Also 9 years sober from hard [illegal substances].
I broke the cycle.

At 62, I lost 400lbs in 2 1/2 years.
UncleGrako replied
I lost 800 pounds in about 4 hours. Of course, I was at a casino in England… but still.

I’m CURED (not just remission) of what could be considered the most ‘aggressive’ type cancer known to man (most aggressive is not to be confused with most deadly). Either way, I’m still alive bishes!
CryptoNarco replied:
Congratulations! I have metastatic colon cancer. They were able to remove most of the tumors but there are metastases that are not operable. after a huge surgery, terrible chemo and 3 hospitalizations, a few weeks ago they told me that the disease is stable, so for now I’m still here. I’m doing sports again, and I can eat and drink normally 😁👌

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).

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.
ange1147 replied:
How did you scroll through Reddit? No offense, just honestly curious! Hope you have a nice day.
lolopolo404 replied:
I can read it on my phone! I put it real close to my face tho.
shortwave_radio replied:
I’d say that’s really bad for your eyes, but um…
Chewies-merkin replied:
Didn’t see that one coming.
LevelDrawers replied:
Blindsided, you might say.
BluLemonGaming replied:
Bombastic blindside eye.

I’ve finished three chapsticks in a row without losing them.
PianistCheap4405 replied:
How did they taste I can’t seem to get the good flavored ones to chew.
nipponnuck replied:
Chewing them isn’t the problem for me, it’s the indigestion they cause.

I can lose a remote that I had just searched for and found in under 30 seconds.
medicff replied:
I’ve lost a wrench and tore apart the work area looking for it, with that wrench in my hand.
Ridry replied:
So anytime I leave anywhere I tap my belt holster to make sure my phone is there. The amount of times I had the “oh no” second when my phone wasn’t there because it was IN MY HAND is too many to count.
tripleBBxD replied:
A friend of mine once searched his phone and turned on the flashlight of his phone to look under their couch without noticing.
thelastwilson replied:
Have you ever been speaking on the phone to someone and said “oh [crud], I lost my phone” to them?
…
I have.

I once won gold at the Games Workshop “Golden Demon” painting competition, in the 90s.
Quit straight away and never entered again. Go out on top.

One of my favourite composers responded to an email I sent him asking for feedback on a cover I did of one of his tracks. It was a lengthy and insightful response and it really did make the 6 month of working on it all worthwhile.
EDIT: for those asking, it was Chris Christodoulou’s ‘The Rain Formerly Known As Purple’ which you can check out my cover of here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKjnfpOzGvo

After 30 years of being a couch potato I started running in my fifties. 11 months later did a half marathon in a decent time for someone half my age.
saugoof replied:
I’m almost the same. I started running in my late-forties after a lifetime of zero exercise and an absolute hatred of running. It took a lot longer before I decided to try a marathon but at 57 I ran my first marathon and a half-marathon and finished in the top third in my age group.
The thing is, I still hate running. I have never enjoyed one minute of it. But I also never regretted going for a run. I love “having been” for a run. But mostly what keeps me going is that I can just tell what a massively positive change this has made to my life.

Not that weird but I moved to the other side of the world on my own when I turned 18.
taint_temptress replied
Same here! Chicago suburbs to Australia, not a huge culture shock at all but it led me to more travel and haven’t lived in the States since – I’m 29 now. Lived in south Korea, Cambodia, went to university in The Netherlands, first ‘adult’ job in London, now traveling in southeast Asia again and writing this from Chiang Mai.
I worked my way through all of it. A life experience I’d recommend to anyone who is able and willing to go for it.

I made a leather shoe a few days ago. It’s rather tiny but kinda cool and wearable for gnomes.

ExternalCommon8854 said: My class was working on a short film together with professionals, and I was an editor. I got to work with the original editor of Lego Ninjago season 1-3 on my class shortfilm. i_the-FilipinoYokaii replied: Okay, THIS ONE made me gasp out loud! What was it like to work with them? ExternalCommon8854 replied: Well you could clearly tell she was very professional and good at her job. The way she pointed out the small things like the direction people looked and the extras in the background behaved so we could make sure it all made sense was really cool.
