Bad habitsFollow

1) Not really, though one of my colleagues used to eat with his mouth open and make loads of munching sound. It used to drive me nuts.

2) I have 2 horrible habits.

I spit. A lot. I spit like a Chinese guy. It's probably because i smoke, and hence get nasty unnatural things in my throat that I have no intention of swallowing. So, I spit it out.

It's quite disgusting, and sometimes I feel bad for other people in the street when they see/hear me spit. But I've got no alternative, I'm not going to start swallowing that awful stuff. Well, I guess I could quite smoking, but that's no fun. I know, it's unsanitary and awful.

But, if you go to China, everybody spits! Everywhere! It's like spitting heaven, without subtitles. In fact, if you walk anywhere in Beijing, you're likely to be walking in freshly-spat spit.

So, hurray for the Chinese for normalising my disgusting habit!

If by this point you think I'm a horrible person, please be aware that I also pick my nose. This habit is less disturbing than the spitting one, since I can choose when to pick my nose, and tend to be quite considerate when doing it. But it's still an awful habit, and sometimes when I get nervous, my first reaction will be to explore the inner cavities of my respiratory organ to see if any substance can be extracted from it.

I don't eat the stuff, though. Too salty.

Well... you asked.

Meehhhh Everyone picks their nose Red.Really I'm just trying to find justification for my rather dirty habit, and no, I don't eat it either.

And well, it's not really a habit because my dad can't actually help it, but when he eats, the right side of his jaw clicks, it makes the most ******* irritating sound ever.

I can't believe that BT's worst habit is that he tells people they smell when he's drunk.

That's like Bush saying his greatest mistake during the Presidency was falling off the Segway.

I don't know if it's a bad habit or just being plain rude.

I don't talk to strangers. Or even people that I see everyday in the hall of my office building. You know the small talk people make when the run into each other at doors or the vending machine and that person always has to say "Hi", "Nice day, huh?" or someother nonsense? I just can't stop myself from ignoring them. I can't respond. Hell, I flat out refuse to respond to them. I know they're just being nice or whatever but my brain won't come up with anything other then a solid, "Fuck you."

Maybe that's just rude. Ah well.

For other people, I can't stand co-workers/friends/family that send those animated emails that have the rhetoric of Pro-USA-Speak English or Die-Get out of My Country, full of shiny American flags, telling you to support the cultural death of millions of people.

I'm marrying a Korean woman, that **** doesn't fly with me.

I have one friend who has a horrible habit of never ending conversations on the phone. Its gotten to a point that I won't answer the phone when he calls. Doesn't matter what I am doing at the moment or how many conversation enders I throw at him, he keeps on going and going. I had to talk to him about a certain dating situation that he needed help with (monetary issue stuff) and I wouldn't call him unless I was buzzed or drunk.

You're friends with Varus?

I look angry when I'm not. I have been told I look like I am contimplating murder and all I am doing is sitting there thinking happy thoughts, and obviously I don't smile without an effort. Couple all that with, like Kaelesh, a dislike towards small talk with strangers and people tend to not like me around. They think I am mad at them or having a bad day and in reality my day is peachy keen. I have trying to smile more and breaking my bad habit of ignoring the morans around me but damn, it's hard when people like to natter on about **** I could care less about.

Which leads me to **** that annoys me: People who blather on about nothing interesting. Hey ******* that distracted look I keep getting? Those noncomittal answers and occasional pained expressions? Yea, you are fUcking boring me. Shut. The. Hell. Up. But, of course I am supposed to be rehabilitating my reputation as an aSShole so I don't say that. Instead I nod along and practice my smile. Thank god for beer.

My fiance has the exact same annoying habit. She leaves 2-3 half-empty soda cans per day around the house, and they stay there for weeks if I don't clean them up. I need to start buying those miniature soda cans for her.

Hmmm... My "bad habit" would have to be being blunt... I don't think its a bad habit personally, I just don't dance around the bush with my words.

I also cannot start a conversation. Someone has to start a topic or I will just be as quiet as a mouse.

Lub you long time!

I wear contact lenses and I used to use eye drops to keep them wet. I then discovered or learned that drinking lots of water every day keeps my eyes nice and moist without ever needing eye drops. As a result there are often 3-4 half full glasses of water left on the mantle or the end table, bearing a striking resemblence to the movie Signs. Since it is water and not something that goes bad, I don't feel the need to clean it up right away and often put off cleaning them up 'til I straighten up the whole room. I also have a cabinet full of pilfered bar pint glasses so I have an almost unending supply of glasses to leave around the house, and I often grab one while walking by, drink some and put it down someplace else.

Now that you mention it...

And here I thought this thread was going to be about the offspring :p
