What are your bad habits?
What are the bad habits you can't tolerate in others? |

Ummmmm... one of my bad habits is picking at my many split ends... even in hospital on ward rounds. xD I do it when I get really outlandishly bored. xD I also crack my fingers. And I often can't sit still, a) because I fidget, and b) because I often find it difficult to get comfortable (this is mainly in lecture theatres xD).
Habits I can't tolerate in others? I would say smoking, since others have mentioned it, except that's more an addiction than a habit. Can't think of any habits in others right now that really annoys me, actually! |

Procrastination is one of my bad habits. Also the tendency to interrupt. Also when eating, if the food on my plate is very delicious (ice cream for example), I will proceed to scrape the bowl/plate with my fork/spoon to get every tiny bit of it. It drives my sister and wife crazy. Oh I also slurp my drink sometimes. (Without knowing it - I'm deaf!) I also have a tendency to raise my voice without realizing it (again, the deafness is a factor). Uh.. I bite my nails. I've gotten better at it though - I only bite them when I'm nervous.
Bad habits I hate: Smoking cigarettes around me, especially if you blow smoke in my face. -Bad drivers. People who cut in front of me, won't let me in, road rage, don't use their turn signals when changing lanes, etc. Those annoy me when they affect me. Oh motorists also annoy me. That being said, I love motorcycles and have a license myself but some of the motorists I've seen on the road are so reckless. (Swerving in front of my mom's Suburban, making me swerve so the motorcycle wouldn't hit me - that person would have been creamed if I hadn't been paying attention). I suppose it all comes down to reckless driving. Uh... That's about it, I think. I'm deaf so I can't hear any annoying noises other people make. :P |

I have a very addictive personality. I'm a smoker, i drink coffee like it's the only thing keeping me alive, and i readily admit i am totally and completely addicted to food. God damnit i love food. Also i am a compulsive picker. I pick at everything, it's terrible. I can't just leave things be, and it's exacerbated by the fact that my boyfriend is a contractor and thusly is always coming home covered in spackle and such. When i was a kid i completely removed the wall paper from my room because i just couldn't stop picking. I'd even stand on a chair or dresser to reach the higher up portions. Started with one little seam in the corner, in a month the entire room was bare. As for habits i can't stand in others...people who interrupt conversations. It's rude and it makes me hulk out pretty much immediately. If i'm talking to someone and someone else butts in, i'm immediately filled with an urge to hit the person interjecting. Worse than that is people who interject, and then attempt to just talk over you. Drives me batshit crazy.

Wilful ignorance is the absolute worst bad habit in my books. When someone is so certain they're right about something that when they hear someone else's opinion (or the truth) that everything goes in one ear and out the other and they simply continue spewing nonsense all over everyone within earshot. Interrupting someone when they're speaking is pretty high on the list too. Working in retail, I deal with both of these on a daily basis. I'm a pretty patient and tolerant person, but some days I'm stretched to the limit because of those kinds of people.

Ahahaha - my bad habit is that I totally interrupt! ;D Like, to be fair, it's not a habit as such, but I simply have a very poor awareness of timing. If I don't risk interrupting, I simply never speak! Gosh, I would so be shunned by Bloopers in real life! ;D
Habits that annoy me are people sucking their teeth, people using a habitual whiny tone of voice, and people using passive aggression. |

@ LADY PUCK ;
Same here. I am constantly interrupting. o_O Always have since I can remember. LOL. |

My bad habits include not listening when someone starts talking. Like, say I'm watching tv or a video, and my husband says something. There is a delay in which I have to process that something has been said, and in that time I've completely missed what he said, so most of our conversations start out with me saying, "Sorry, what was that?" ;D
I bite my fingernails when I'm nervous or stressed. I forget to fold blankets after I've used them on the couch. As for bad habits I don't like in other, well, Dave leaves toothpicks and bottle caps all over the house, and I have to pick them up. I hate boys who have hair in their face and constantly swish it out of their face, like they have a tick! |

I'm told my bad habits are cussing, & burping. Now I agree, when I'm with my friends or whatever I don't think twice about burping & it can get a little excessive. Anyway, other habits would be complaining, laziness, & being snarky.
The ones I can't stand are people who drink to get drunk. Like they will bar hop or sit at home on the couch & just drink & drink until they are so drunk they pass out or are too fuckin lazy to lift the bottle to their mouth. Now I understand sometimes you are just having the kind of day that makes you want to do that, but when you're doing that every single night & then complain that you don't have money for rent/car payment/food you have no one to blame but yourself & I have no sympathy for you. I also can't stand people that pick their nose. Like honestly, you can't go to the bathroom & do that shit behind the closed door? EW!!! |

I smoke, drink too much coffee (is that really a bad habit though? it's my only addiction thats still socially acceptable and endorsed by starbucks!) and diet coke, have ridiculously higher standards for other people and much lower ones for myself, revel in the fact that I am more intelligent than 90% of my classmates even though I know it's wrong (I don't make it obvious when I do this, its quite a private thing that I totally cannot stop myself from doing) and I really rather enjoy farting and picking my nose... if I'm being totally honest.
In other people? With you on the passive/agressive thing... manipulative/controlling people.. young boys that walk around with their hands down their pants, as if they have to fiddle with whats down there in order to walk, talk and breathe.. I buy cheap hand sanitising liquids and hand them out occasionally. |

I fidget a lot. I judge women.
I hate being interrupted. I hate when people, children or animals stare at me - I feel like they are trying to intimidate me and I automatically become a rude, nasty person until they stop. I don't like slow walkers, and people who are long winded when they talk [I'll tell them "Get to the point."] |
lithium layouts. Post Count: 836 |
Oh, actually, yes, people who walk REALLY slowly, and also people who are walking and just stop, right in front of you, to check their phone or whatever. I mean, move to the side if you're going to do that! And it's even worse when they say 'sorry' when you almost crash into them, but don't actually move an inch!

Estella Post Count: 1779 |
Haha - I was just about to agree with everything you said (I totally pull my split ends and crack my fingers, and gosh, I can't abide smoking) but I am actually one of those slow people who stops! Like, in a busy supermarket, or on a busy street like Oxford Street, people are always bumping into me and getting annoyed! ;D But gosh, if someone bumps into me, if I moved I'd probably end up bumping into someone else, and since they know where they're going and I've stopped to figure it out, it makes more sense for them to do the moving!

I have a really bad habit of being lazy =\ I just can't ever find the oompfh to like ... do the dishes at the end of the night, so I usually get around to it a few days later when the sinks are full, and then I complain LOL. Naughty. I also have the atrocious habit of gum snapping =[ I warn almost everyone after I catch myself do it around someone new, because it's that much of a habit.
I can't stand (you ready for this list? LOL I'm minimize it) shitty drivers - people who don't use turn signals, or who go fast, slow down, go fast, slow down again ... repeatedly. I also hate being interrupted. I stare at people when they interrupt me, like "Who the fuck do you think you are?" type stare, lol. Mmm, I hate when people smoke. Yes, you have a freedom to smoke, but I also have a freedom to NOT .. and you're breaching that when you're practically blowing your smoke in my face. I hate that. Hmmm. The stopping in the middle of places annoys me...because I'm that person that diligently abides by the "get on the right side of the path" unwritten rule, so it should be very easy for you to just ...sidestep a little bit further out of the way if you have to dig in your purse or check your phone or something. |

Haha - I cannot stand the gum snappers, so you and I would so not get on! ;D

LOL I just remember a couple other of my bad habits. My mom flips her lid when I crack my knuckles. I'm that person in the class during the middle of a test when it's super quite that cracks their knuckles, & I snap my gum which drives my Papa nuts.

I'm an interrupter. I can't help it sometimes, but I really really try. I realize when I'm doing it, but sometimes I just can't stop it. I try to always say "sorry, I couldn't help but to overhear" or "sorry to cut you off but..." I know it's annoying, but I have a poor sense of timing and sometimes can't control it. I also tell the longest stories, obviously. Something else I've tried so hard to correct. My mom does it too, and she says her mom used to do it.
It annoys me when people stand over people instead of sit next to them. Sometimes there isn't enough seating, but at other times, I feel like telling someone to just have a seat. People that shake their legs and rock back and forth when sitting (fidgeting, I guess) kinda irks me. Not as bad since I do it from time to time. |
Finally Mrs. Bailey Post Count: 181 |
Haha I also didn't even think of how much people annoy me when they drive. Not using a turn signal is my biggest peeve. I don't like gum popping either. I feel like Madea "lil girl if you don't quit POPPIN THAT GUM!"
