My ribs seem to fold over sometimes when i bend over to tie my shoes or some other like action. what causes this, and is this normal?

Not likely your rib : Different body types have different flexibilities and capabilities. It sounds like a roll of skin rolling over the adjacent roll or rolling over deeper tissues. If is truly is a rib moving that much it would hurt really bad and this post does not read like that.
