Dexterous toes

I'm reading a book that insinuates that one of the characters is weird for picking up socks off the floor with his toes. Is this uncommon? I do it all the time and never thought anything of it but now I'm a little self-conscious.

Also, my second toe is a little longer than my big toe. Google didn't know what percentage of people have this trait, but it did tell me that the evil podiatry-industrial complex considers it a "disorder" and recommends consulting with your podiatrist. Go figure.

    JPod by Douglas Coupland. It’s pretty funny.

    I know a number of people who do this, including myself. Maybe it just runs in weird families.

    I pick socks up with my toes all the time. I think everyone does, they might not admit it though.
