Bad habits?
 

The title's pretty self-explanatory. Anybody got bad habits they're willing to share? One of my bad habits is whenever there is something on my face like pimples or scabs, I unconsciously scratch until it bleeds. It sucks so much and makes me look 50 times fuglier :(

I have a problem where I'm always checking out very cute girls wherever I go. To my friend's dismay, I have to be dragged around with a leash just incase I go too far.

other than that, I'm always spending money be it on my car or just little stupid things every now and then. It's a habbit that I should really try breaking, although I do save a lot of money too....

Nail Biting (Insteado of cuting it) and Driking straight from bottles (ANY bottle)

Also, i brush my teeth in the shower and after that, shave my beard

You may see it as a bad habit, i see it as "Pratical Secret manoeuvres"

I do that too (>>)

I smoke and I drink. Does that count?

I bite my nails all the time.

I also swear a lot. Does that count?

Bite my nails.

Pick at pimples.

Hard time resisting misquito bite itches.

I worry about details with my hair for some reason, so I'm always messing with it. Even now that it's short. </vain>

I'm racist.

And I'm masturbating right now.

I think the thread title said bad habits.

Yeah... you're masturbating AND typing (with italics) at the same time, that's not a bad habit, thats a goddamn feat...

Nothing can be said about DFM though... he is just a vortex of WTFness

I have a habit of picking at scabs. If it's not meant to be on my body, it comes off. I also have a habit of picking at other peoples scabs. So avoid me if you have a nice juicy patch of healing skin.

I'm ambidextrous.

Shit, I'm masturbating to reading about POS masturbating.

I masturbate with my tongue.

Does drunk posting count? That and chronic masturbation top my list. Oh! Also reading DFM's posts, I know they can't be good for me but I keep on reading them.

Sometimes I break into the morgue because I like the smell.

You too? Have you ever been stuck in the elevator that goes down to the morgue with the bodies? I've had that happen a couple times... Dead bodies move man! Peaceful rest my ass, they still fart and burp! Aside from that, ebalming fluid smells ery sterile and I like that.

I've pretended to get stuck in it.

I always scratch my mosquito bites until they bleed. Then I scratch the scabs off. Then I scratch the scab that is created after that. Then I scratch the resulting scar. I usually end up with a patch of skin that looks eerily at odds with its surroundings. Annoying, but I can't help it.

Also, you've PRETENDED to get stuck in it? I've sabotaged it so I get stuck in it, and nobody can tell the difference. But for me, it's preparation for the zombie invasion. Getting used to the smell, and how to identify if something is alive. Did you know that if something is dead, it doesn't tend to breathe as much?

I tend to pick up things unconciously, play with them (or put them in my pockets) and put them down other places. Things move around our flat all the time and I'm sure it's me. And I find everything in my pockets from toy cars to old paint cannisters.
I also tend to randomly put things in my mouth from plastic to sticks. I can't help out and don't realise most of the time.

Bad Title™
 

I read forums and webcomics at work.

Heck, I even post at work.

Out of all my bad habits.

The only one to really note is the fact that I still pick my nose.

And eat my mucus.

So much talk about masturbation....

I think going back to this topic has become my bad habbit...

I don't know if you'd call it a bad habit or just masochism but whenever I have any sort of injury I have to bang it, bump it, prod it, and just generally cause it to hurt more. I especially do it if I get used to the current level of pain and stop feeling it. Its like I have to make sure it hasn't healed on me while I wasn't looking or something. My body is tricky like that always keeping me on my toes.

I do the thing like Sithdarth, where I press at painful areas just to get a dull ache.

I also bite my fingernails but, when I remove the section of nail I'm biting, I smell at the nail. Don't give me that look.

I also swear a lot.

Even if it doesn't matter, I'm so anal that I habitually check every single goddamned thing I type on the computer for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. And I habitually put it in while typing, even in text messages, for god's sake. I'll get something like "hey r u free 2day" and I'll send "I've got some things to do, unfortunately - maybe we can figure something out tomorrow?" It's disgusting.

This thread is really, really gross.

I swear (oh, and how I can swear! I dunno how I expressed myself before I learned the f, s, and occasionally c words), I pick at stuff I shouldn't pick at, I crack knuckles (just did it now, before typing this parenthetical), and don't get me started on whatever TV show/author/thing I learned about is my latest Thing To Obsess About (warning: right now it's classic Doctor Who, with Pertwee and/or Baker), unless you particularly want me to talk or type you to death. I don't quite know when to shut up and let other people talk, either, and I'm usually far too polite in the face of complete idiots.

So like my teeth are really weird, over the years they've gotten some wear, especially the top front two.

and I can't stop running my tongue over them. They have sharp edges! And they sometimes cut my tongue. but I keep doing it anyway.

It's not really visible, the wear thing, but my tongue can feel how it's kinda chipped or something on the inside.

Also, right now there's a mysterious cut on my inside cheek that I also can't stop prodding with my tongue.

I'm surprised knuckle cracking isn't on this list yet. I can crack each finger 4 different ways, and thumbs three ways. That's a total of 38 cracks when they're all fully loaded. I can do a symphony!

I've done it since forever. I forgot about it. I pop each finger two ways, including my thumbs. The base knuckle for each and the next one up. The thumbs, the base one is like right on your wrist.

I pop my back.

And my neck.

And my toes.

...but I just said...
**points at her previous post**

Oh, and I'm also a grammar and spelling freak. I'll copy-paste a walkthrough to a game into MS Word, and then correct it. Not for anyone in particular, mind, just 'cos I want to see it make grammatical sense.

I guess another bad habit is posting while someone else is posting so it looks like i didn't read their post :\. Sorry Satan's.

Don't sweat it. If we were both posting at the same time, then it was only fate that one of us would fall victim to the thread ninja, surely.

...It's still called that by the cool kids, right?

Gyar, or there be thread pirates sailin' these smarmy waters!

I wouldn't count the spell checking as a bad habit, its a very good habit. I endorse that and masturbation while posting!

on the cracking agenda...

here is mine:

Neck, Shoulders, Both wrists, both hands, back (to the left AND the right), hip (Ditto), Knees, feet and toes

Plus, i can crack my right wrist as much as i like, unstopably, and it dosent hurt...

I play with injuries all the time too. It's really quite disgusting.

I always have to have something in my hands or mouth. I also tend to annoy people without trying, does that count?

Well my Only bad habit is catching many sicknesses or im in the hosbital which I have been in the hosbital about 59 times now cause of either broken bones or a serious sickness. But you can add 1 to that since im in the hosbital right now.

My friend can make a sort of cracking noise with his eyes.

I mean, I know it's not the same, but still.

Also, I've recently gained a bad habit of worrying about every damn thing. It's the worst thing I can do to myself besides stabbing myself or something.

But then I think about going camping, and killing a mountain lion with my bare hands, and I feel better.:D

Not going to the gym, I'm probably in the worst shape I've ever been in right now... *sigh* I miss motivation.

I'm a member of the cracking things club. I can crack literally every joint if they sit awhile this includes every knuckle on my hands. The knuckles on my right hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder all crack at will continuously. My neck, left hip, and right ankle also crack at will. It's like I'm slowly falling apart or something.

^ I too experience the random cracking of various body parts, mostly in the elbow, knee, and toe regions. I used to crack my knuckles till I started worrying about my joints as I grow older. I don't wanna be decrepit!
Other habits include former nail-peeling (no cutting, just peeling. I pulled off a chunk of nail on my toe once, learned from that.), scalp scratching (to the extreme, wherein I'll occasionally open up a hole, though I've been doing it less, recently). Swearing was a big one back in high school, but I've tamed my tongue. It's more civilized and refined now (with some help from university philosophy :p).

I've got some nose picking going on... I've gotten subtle about it though...

I put random things I find into my pockets. I stick random things I find in my pocket into my mouth. >.>

Also, I sometimes decide that this old scar on my leg itches really really bad, and scratch it 'till it bleeds. There's also that poking and prodding of bruises others have mentioned, and I chew on pencils.

I don't know why, but I have trouble understanding when people speak to me. Sometimes I don't feel like bothering with it, so I just pretend like I do and nod my head...ussually I decide to do this right when they're saying something important.

Thats not a bad habit... thats Cleptomania

Not so much if it belongs to you, you know.

I heard that it's okay to crack joints, and it does no lasting damage. What are the thoughts on that anyway? Is knuckle-cracking really that bad?

As far as I know cracking your knuckles doesn't do any damage. It is, however, a sign that you'll probably get some joint problem in later life because the cracking noises are made be you popping air bubbles in the synovial fluid, which shouldn't be there.

I'm just really fuckin' lazy.

And I never call people back because I hate phones.

I lick my lips TOO MUCH, like every 5 seconds. Knuckle-cracking too.

I lose pens and pencils. Lots.

During school, I'll go though, about, 5 a week. I just can't remember where I put them.

Also, forgetting homework. I hate homework.

Other than that, about everything mentioned here. And, this being summer, I'm in the habit of staying awake until after midnight and waking up after noon.

I've got a big list of them.
I pick my nose. I drink from whatever carton, jug, or bottle I find. I chronically masturbate. I smoke. I drink. I pick at scabs. I procrastinate. I'm too lazy to lift the seat when I pee sometimes. I say any good one-liner I come up with until long after the joke is dead. In large groups of people, I tend to drift off in thought and not pay attention. I never say no to people who ask me for a ride.

This list is subject to change as I find things that are wrong with me.

"I have a strange compulsion that makes me randomly scream out harry potter spoilers.

DUMBLEDORE DIES.

I also have this weird thing where I have sex with everyone I know and like online. In the butt. Fenris."

Ew. Unless you wanna become infected with 5 different sicknesses then stay away from me. Wait you don't know me or anything so im the clear! WOO

>.>
Shush. I'm not supposed to talk about it like that, cause it makes it go away.

MAKE IT GO AWAY

I'm just very fidgety. I notice that when I'm in class, I have a hard time not switching how I sit every half a minute(I'm trying to cure myself of it, I'm sure it's annoying) And if there is an object around me, you can bet I will be playing with it (usually hair ties or hair clips. I usually keep some sort of stress ball or something near my desk at all times, but I usually end up popping the stress balls, or twisting up my slinkies)). Also, in class, I have a very very very hard time not drawing in class.


And I don't know if this counts as a bad habit, but I am fairly obsessive about being on time. I will normally show up at least half an hour early to anything that I have to go to. I almost always leave a half an hour before every class (even though it takes about 10-15 minutes to get there), and if I have an hour between classes, I usually will go sit outside of my classroom and draw/study/do homework/sleep for the full hour rather than go back to my dorm for 30-45 minutes.

EDIT: Ah yes, I just thought of my #1 bad habit: I am a big-time pack rat. I have a very hard time getting rid of anything. I mean, I think I still have pretty much every toy I have ever owned (all of the he-man figurines, barbies, GI Joes, etc) I have an empty frame in the basement that I *might* use someday in the future,

Also, I have a very hard time using/wasting things (if that makes any sense). I will buy something, but then it will just sit there, unused because I don't want to waste it. For example, I think about a year or two ago I got some illustration board to do some big art projects on, and a package of prismacolor colored pencils. Both have yet to be used once(although I want to! I just can't get myself to do it)

Add to this list shoulders, sometimes my jaw, and my pelvis (yes, the pelvis--not just the hip).

[EDIT] Oh, don't even get me STARTED on this one, sister. XD

Celes, that's just like my mother... I can't wait to get out of the house because we just don't have room to hold all the stuff she keeps. And she has a huge library of books that she'll probably never need to re-read.

I'm like that with batteries and headphones though. Until the battery is completely and utterly devoid of charge, I don't like replacing them/throwing them out. And I have quite a few pairs of faulty headphones that I don't get rid of because they sometimes work. I do USE them though, so I guess it's not a total waste. See, right now I have two headphones, one of which the right speaker NEVER works, but the left ALWAYS does, and another one where both speakers are hit/miss depending on the cord position. I usually use the ones that are hit/miss so I can get full stereo some of the time, but I use the ones that only work on the left if I am feeling lazy or going to be doing a lot of moving.

Well, i press on my nose while reading anything.....so i mainly read forums now to busy my hands.....otherwise i'll flatten my nose out more than i have already done.........

Here's a quick sum up:

I dislocate my jaw too often, one day I'll never bring it back, I swear.
I bite my nails all the time, and if there's nothing to bite anymore, I'll bite the skin besides my nails.
I cut the thick skin under my toes with a nailcutter to make it thicker, and then cut it some more.
I always chew my pens and pencils, even pencils that I borrow from someone. I tend to lose them very easily too, and I'm always drawing instead of listening in class.
I pick my nose when I'm alone, kleenex just don't work for me.
I also have a bad (or good?) habit of arriving too early to an event or class.
I tend to dose off in important conversations.
I pick my eyes too much.
I chew the inside of my cheeks, sometimes puncturing them.
I always scratch my pimples until they bleed, also cuts, scrapes and wounds.
I have a tendency to get a sunburn on purpose because I like peeling off the dead skin a few days later...
I also like peeling off other people's dead skin due to sunburn. Don't get near me, really.

I guess that's pretty much it.

Oh, when I have allergies, I don't just rub my nose, I attack it. I don't really know how to explain it in words, but like I put my left hand, fully extended, to the left of my nose, then I use my right hand in fist mode to sorta compress it against my left hand, and I very quickly.... uh, vibrate it.... It's a motion in the wrist... I also bounce a lot, and when I'm sitting, my knees bounce a lot. Then again, fidgeting is supposed to get rid of a lot of calories.

Edit: Oh! and you guys that lose pencils? Keep doing that. I haven't bought pencils for a loooong time since I just use the ones I find on the floor in the hallways. you guys who lose mechanical pencils rock.

Oh, drinking. Drinking and flirting. Drinking and walking. Drinking and talking. Drinking and posting. Drinking and gambling. Drinking and drinking.

Here's some more, for my adoring public.

I am physically incapable of maintaining a neat space around where I work/live. No matter how much I try to clean up or whatever, within 24 hours there will be a mess again, likely larger than what was there before.

I scratch at my pimples a lot. Probably much more than is needed.

And I sometimes post after the limit of a thread.
