Anonychia congenita is a condition that affects some people, and they usually have no fingernails or toenails. Lack of nails is evident from birth.
A Reddit user submitted a photo of a man’s hand with the condition, which drew a lot of attention from netizens who asked what tasks would be difficult without fingernails. “People born with ononia do not have nails and cannot grow them,” reads the description accompanying the photo.

“Imagine how painful it must be for these guys if a normal person can’t separate two Lego pieces,” said one Reddit member. “Leave your credit card and report it stolen,” urged another.
Another netizen saw the benefit of not having nails, writing, “Sure it sucks. But they will never know the pain of nails, breaking nails, losing nails, never having to cut nails, The bottom is never crunchy, the nails will never be dirty. Look, there are plus sides!”
“Here’s your change, and WHOOPS, just dropped it, my bad, would you mind picking up all the coins I dropped on that perfectly smooth floor?” Another person wrote. “Probably prefers bottles to cans,” added another.
