Bonerkiller: Chronic Knuckle Crackers

The sound of him cracking his knuckles is like nails on a chalkboard on a pair of knuckles. I cannot think of a more irritating sound than hearing another human popping his joints like they're bubblewrap.

He probably guessed that I hated it because at the first knuckle pop, I made a face like I was watching him club a baby seal. He didn't say anything, he just progressed down his hand, digit by digit. It was like a horrible-sounding xylophone.

When he interlaced his fingers and cracked some more, I wanted to plug my ears. It was a terrible, crackly finale. I felt like I was in my own personal Saw movie (I've never seen one, but I think they involve torture.) I'm sorry, but his hands should not sound like snapping into a bite of peanut brittle. It's not right.

I was going to comment earlier but I had to crack every... single... knuckle first.

I can crack my hips. How does that treat your boner?

Ah, just hearing about someone cracking their knuckles makes me have to do it. I have to crack my neck, too, otherwise it just feels uncomfortable.

I can also crack my wrist(s), and I love it when I lie down after a long day, and let my lower back crack several times.
