As someone who watched Apollo 13 a lot at an early age, I put way too much thought into extremely trivial things you could/couldn't do in a space suit. For example, I taught myself how to pop my knuckles without having to use the other hand JUST IN CASE I were to become an astronaut one day. That did not happen so now I just have a weird skill, but I do wonder: what are the most trivial complaints/frustrations astronauts have given about the spacesuits (both new and old)? And is one of those complaints not being able to scratch an itch? That sounds like torture.

Thanks!

Haha, I like your style. So can they actually reach up out of their sleeve, still inside the suit of course, and scratch their nose? Or say pop their knuckles.. :)
