Is it weird to point with your pinkie?

It’s not weird, just different. It would be rude to point with your middle finger, and it would be very weird to point with your ring finger.

Also, did you have anything else in your hand at the time?

Pointing out a tiny dot on a map makes more sense with the pinkie finger because it is smaller and unlikely to cover the dot on the map. I don’t see it as weird, just different

@zenvelo No, I did not.

Yes, very well done. In a similar vein:

Pointing your feet at someone is considered very rude in Thailand and should be avoided at all costs. The feet are considered as the lowest and dirtiest part of the body and the bottoms should never be pointed at anyone, especially at Buddhas.

Different, perhaps amusing.

I would call it, unusual.

Not so strange, and as far as I’m concerned if you communicated what you wanted to communicate then mission accomplished.

I think it’s normal to point with your pinkie in German culture. Perhaps you were just channeling the map. :P
