What are your annoying habits?

Come on - you know you have them! I shake my right leg nervously when sitting. I had to really work to stop myself when taking the bar exam so as not to disturb the other sufferer at my table. I talk back to and scream at the TV entirely too much and carry on a running commentary about whatever fool I see yammering on. I ask my husband what he wants to do (such as picking a restaurant), then suggest another one until he changes his mind, then say, "No, we can go to the one you want." WHY DO I DO THAT???

And when I'm really nervous, I pick them even more. Yuck.

when i'm bored or nervous...

I have a habit of not finishing my senten...

I finish other people's sentences.

(You KNEW that one was coming, didn't you?)

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

and a million other things. I eat too many M&Ms, am on DU too much, etc. But you know what? Who doesn't have annoying habits? Now as to that leg thing...QUIT that!

I fix my makeup before I go running. Swear to God. It's a sickness.

And picking at my nail polish

if I see someone whose appearance I don't much like heading towards the seat next to me, I start coughing in the most revolting manner possible.

Of course, that's a tactic, not a habit, but I felt like sharing. :)

my wife and I use different bathrooms. I've got at least 60 books and 30 magazines in there, and on the counter next to the sink I usually have a coffee cup.

I don't know why, but a perfectly clean bathroom annoys the shit out of me. I don't want public rest room conditions, but my home bathroom has to feel like a home itself.

Nothing wrong with that. Most men use the garage or the study/den, but hey...

is my ingrained habit.

I mean, sometimes I'll walk into a room and...wait a minute. What was the question again?

Where am I?

WHO ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE???

Redstone

no, not really. I eat them.

That and an truly annoying habit of discussing religion and politics all the time.

Why? Don't know. Correcting people. Singing loudly (and I can't sing).

Like, really oughta see a behaviorist and train myself not to do it anymore habit.

if it had handles on it, tend to be the ones who sing the loudest, and the most frequently.

Why do you think that is? (I'm not being insulting, just asking. My mother was like that, and so is Mrs R.)

Redstone

infinity.

Interrupting others - I hate when I do that, but I can't seem to stop. I think it's because that when a thought enters the brain - it gets blurted out instantaneously. UGH.

I've been trying to work on that lately.

Because I don't click my pens. He sat to my left and didn't experience my leg shaking! I'm with you on the bubble wrap, though - Mr. DTBK usually takes it away from me by about the 7th pop!

almost definitely ADD. It's one of the characteristics of the syndrome that gets so many people who have it in so much trouble.

Yes, it can be, at times, even a physical struggle to contain the "blurting out." even with medication, in some cases.

we'll just sit back & listen My ex-wife was the same way. I once said I didn't speak to her for 6 months before we got married because I didn't think it was polite to interrupt somebody while they were speaking! But, that was part of her charm and not why we're divorced.

Actually, my wife now is generally pretty outgoing.

:loveya:

that sometimes bothers folks.

:D

my spine. I'd have to hit you (I'm sorry - but I'd have to!).


:spank:

I crack my neck too. One time (following instructions from Penn and Teller) I took a plastic cup and put it under my arm. Then I stepped in front of my SO and moved like I was cracking my neck. I then brought pressure down on the plastic cup hidden under my arm crunching it loudly. The look on her face was worth the beating she gave me shortly after.

any kind of bone-cracking going on. Ycchhhhh.

Just drives me wild.

I've never been able to get out of the habit, and since I play guitar and piano, I've never seen the need. All my other friends have beautiful hands and manicures; mine look like they've been thru the thresher. I also bite cuticules and calluses. Yecch.

someone's made a joke. I kill jokes. I speak in broken sentences sometimes. I don't finish my sentences. I steal the bed covers and pillows. I lose my socks. I wear mismatched socks. I let my bra straps show. I wear dark lingerie with light shirts. I interrupt. Sometimes, I speak out of turn. I'm a stilted conversationalist (seriously? I'm reading books on conversation right now because I'm so bad at it). Sometimes, I tell someone I want to confess something and then I change my mind and refuse to say what it was. I drink the last of the milk. I...think if I keep going everyone on this website is going to start disliking me.

And nothing in particular, either. Just mindless babbling.

or so i'm told

I'm just an annoying person. :P

being on the internet. Right now, DU'ing. Hubby is probabaly getting tired of this yet!

And I crack my knuckles and stuff.

And make obscure pop culture references that both reveal my inner nerd struggling to break free and are not always amusing to the Helen Lovejoys in the community. {Won't somebody please think of the children! :)}.
