What do you use your pinky for?

[CHIMP MAGNET]

At first it seems redundant but seem to use it as my primary tapping 'A' on the keyboard button and of course the vital tea cup stabilizer. (Yes. I'm British)

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I do the whole pinky thing when drinking tea and coffee (I'm not British) and i also use it to clean some of the wax out my ears.

 

[Argtee]

Nothing.

Really, I don't even use my pinky when I type...

 

[Macheteswordgun]

The shocker. Had to throw it in there. Besides that not really much i type pretty fast 160 G.W.A.M and for the most part i dont even use my pinky's which is kinda weird when you think about it.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Hitting notes in Guitar Hero/Rock band. Poking people. Hitting shift, tab, control, Q, etc on a keyboard. Keeping my controller balanced. Throwing up the horns. The Shaka. Making the "Call me!" sign.

Jokingly, I would always flip my pinky when drinking any sort of low brow beverage like Bud or Pabst (cliche', I know), but it has become habit. Now, I flip it with most anything I drink.

Also, the pinky is ideal for either a nose itch or a good ole fashion pickin'.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Digging in my ear.

My other fingers are too fat to use for that purpose.

 

[neoontime]

For stabbing, cutting.
i.e. Pinky knives.

 

[Bureacreative]

Hitting shift and control, holding cameras and spoons, and playing the guitar

 

[thahat]

pointing, holding my pensil togeather with the index finger when im not currently using it.

 

[no oneder]

I use it for my Dr. Evil impressions.

[hittite]

Looking posh while drinking, the occasional key stroke, stabilizing my grip on objects (seriously, try to swing an axe without your pinky).

 

[nYuknYuknYuk]

Guitar and Typing.... that's basically it.

 

[nohorsetown]

Shift and enter keys, and (left hand) playing guitar. Apparently I have a very strong/precise left pinky, cuz a lot of people have been like "whoa!" at the way I form guitar chords. Also, picking nose/ears.

 

[Danzaivar]

I touch type so it covers the extremeties of the keyboard for me. Also a teacup and phone stabiliser, obviously.

 

[hurfdurp]

For raising, even when I drink the most undignified things like bottles of water. I can't help it.

 

[EHKOS]

Crouching and opening inventories. Left ctrl is so very functional.
