I start with my pinky! That's different from all of my family and friends. I am curious what others do.

I never count with my fingers, but I would use my thumb.

I use my pointer finger to count things. But, sometimes things are on top of each other and I have to use my whole hand to move them around so I can continue counting(for example, if I'm counting oranges piled in a crate) :|

I think you misunderstood the title.

Thumb, but I thought everyone did! Reminds me of some TMI statistic I once read about some people wipe their bums sitting on the toilet, others stand up to wipe it, and no one from one persuasion ever realises that anyone else does it differently.

It really depends on what finger I feel like using... any of those, or even the middle finger. I guess it depends how I'm using my hands at the moment.

It's either my pinky or pointing finger, and never with my thumb.
