A woman has gone viral revealing her tiny hands that leave her unable to get a round at the pub – because she can barely hold one pint glass, much like two or three.
Katie Clayton-Moran from Sheffield has lifted the lid on what it’s really like to live as an adult with hands the size of a child’s.
The shop worker is forced to buy children’s gloves and says it’s “really difficult” to pick up items like “large jars of pickles”.

After sharing her minuscule palms, the 30-year-old has gone viral in a post that has over 400,000 views and almost 6,000 likes.
“I’m totally fine with my hands, I know my limits and the compromises I need to make,” Katie, from Chesterfield in Derbyshire, told What’s The Jam.
“I notice it most when I try to pick things up, like large books, boxes or pint glasses.
“My hands literally don’t fit around it, so I have to use both hands when it should be a one hand job.
“Also I’ve never managed to carry three glasses at once in my life, even small ones.

“Large jars of pickled are really difficult too.
“I’ve got to pick it up by the lid cause my hand can’t get a grip on the jar.
”I always buy squeezy sauce cause the jars are difficult for me to manage.”

The manager of the vegan shop All Carrot No Stick often gets stopped by customers who are shocked by the size of her fingers, thumbs and palms.
Katie has made many adjustments to accommodate her tiny hands and often jokes that they haven’t grown since she was a baby.
But she has claimed that there is one advantage to having such small hands.
She can fit her entire hand in a Pringle tube making the crisps easy to get at.
Katie added: “When I left school and started making new friends, I’d get comments from them about how small my hands are.
“When this happened, I’d always compare hands with people, and I always had the smaller hands.
“People usually comment on how small they are, then say how ‘cute’ they are, especially my little fingers.
“I sometimes joke and say they’ve not grown since I was a baby.
“My whole life I’ve never met anyone who had smaller hands, so I decided to use the shop’s social media platform to see if that person was out there.”
Viewers shared their thoughts on Katie’s social video.
One person said: “Doxing yourself to find other small handed people is real dedication.”
Another user added: “tiny hand nation rise up. I love wearing extra small gloves.”
Wren said: “Condolences from the massive hand community. People tried to bully me about it but I can hold so many things and can CTRL ALT DLT across the laptop keyboard with one hand.”
Another person added: “Small hand friend!”
One user said: “I have to wear gardening gloves made for children. Age 6-11. I’m 33.”
