Habits

[ViviMasterMage]

Not sure if this thread has been done before, but here it goes!

Do you have any bad, strange, annoying, etc habits?
Have you ever quit any habits?

Some of my bad habits would be procrastinating, laziness is my forte, I crack my finger and annoy anyone if I'm given a second chance.

Help me stop because I have English Coursework that needs doing! xD

I bite my nails, not as often as I used to.

Also only you can prevent that procrastination.

When I was younger my main habit was biting my nails. I don't do it as much anymore, usually when I am stressed. Procrastination isn't to bad. I went thorugh high school as a procrastanator, and graduated top of my class. That's not saying to much seeing as how I am from BFE, but still.

I am sure I have habits nowadays I don't notice them. But like eveyone I have them...

[smurphy]

The only really bad habit i have is procastrination. I have a seriously bad case of it. Like Kisuke it doesnt inhibit me academically. For example, right now i should be doing a german translation which is due for tomorrow. After this i'll be on some other website but i wont be doing german. I amaze myself that i get anything done.

If mild OCD counts i like to have things at perfect right angles or i get irritated.

I bite my nails and I procrastinate as well.

[ViviMasterMage]

Isn't procrastination the greatest?

Unfortunately I bite my nails too ,I really hate it

Everyone seems to bite their nails. I think it's quite a good thing expect if you bite too much off and it start to sting. I hate guys with long nails though.

I bite my nails too so I'll add that to the list.

I talk to myself when i am alone....

scratch that i talk like i am talking to someone else when i am alone(seriously). I have been doing that for as long as i can remember.

Example: I might do something like read a book and go over the points aloud as if i was explaining it to someone. This is a habit that is not going away anyime soon.

I do something like that when I'm thinking; I tend to run my hand through my hair and mess with it(it always gets back it's shape in a little bit though)

[GypsyElder]

I dance around in my underwear when no one's home, does that count?

Edit: oh, I used to crack my fingers, all the time...I stopped because my dad scared me and said I would get Arthritis.

[Unknown Entity]

I can't stand long nails on either men or women. x__x;
Sure, I don't like them too short either, but... yeah.

I used to bite my nails, then stopped. I heard it was bad for your teeth as well as the way your nails grow. Also, think of the germs that are under your nails. ><

I have OCD too. I feel irritated when numbers aren't even, or if they go into negative figures. The volume on the television has to be on an even number, and the thought of taking out a loan or being in debt makes me cringe.

Indeed it does! Want to show us a video of that? xD

Don't be a perv bro lol

[Fate]

I stopped biting my nails a few years ago, but yeah, I did at one time. Anyway, I am a born procrastinator. In fact, so are my siblings. I'm procrastinating right now, even, because I have homework to get done but am refusing to do it. =P It's funny, though, because at one point years ago in school, I did a paper on why one should stop procrastinating. xD I'm such a hypocrite.

A heart felt exchange! Here's someone dancing in their underwear!

[Dodie16]

I am a chronic knuckle cracker. I do it constantly. It just feels really good to crack them and to hear them pop.

I also bite my lips, especially when they're dry. That's a habit I really need to break, because it only worsens the condition, and I have a scar on my lower left lip because of it.

I also am a procrastinator. I wait until the last minute to do almost everything, but I feel that I work better under that kind of pressure.

[Furore]

I'm addicted to electronic gadgets. There's a good chance if it plays games, can surf the internet, play multimedia or similar and can fit in my pocket I'll want one. I can afford it, but it's a waste of money having so many things that do the exact same thing more or less.

Smoking and alchol are also habits of mine, but I don't really consider either of them to be all that bad.

[FF Ace Cid]

Lol Same here man!

I also tend to bite my nails, been doing it all my life, can't help it, and I don't really care enough to try to stop it. I am also a terrible procrastinator, waiting until the last moment seems to be one of my favorite things to do.

Biting your nails is unhealthy, you know how much dirt you are putting into your mouth when you chew on your nails? It's not good at all, you want your nails shorter? Use clippers.

I have OCD too. I feel irritated when numbers aren't even, or if they go into negative figures. The volume on the television has to be on an even number, and the thought of taking out a loan or being in debt makes me cringe.

Same here, not just television volume, the volume on my PSP, MP4, stereo, everything with volume must be on even. This becomes a serious problem whenever I play RPG games because all of my characters must be on even levels, and sometimes it takes time to accomplish that.

Also, whenever I have a task or a chore to do I have the urge to accomplish it as soon as possible, it really bugs me if I don't do it immediately.

[Meier Link]

Drink (caffine and booze), smoke, cuss, sex addiction, spending to time here, poping my fingers and neck, being very vocal about everything, sneaking peaks at the wife (seriously I don't even realize I am doing it until after the fact). Hell this list could go on for days.

I am a creature of habit after looking at this.

When I first wake up in the morning I am in the habit of throwing on some pants and going to smoke a cigerette.

I have never been a nail biter but I do grind my teeth at night sometimes, it is quite annoying. Then again I guess most wouldn't consider that a habit.

My sleeping paterns though are brought on by habit, one of the few people I know in real life that can operate fully functional with only 2-4 hours of sleep at a time.

Like I said this list could go on and on and on so I will stop now and reserve some for another post.

[Josh_R]

Same here, not just television volume, the volume on my PSP, MP4, stereo, everything with volume must be on even.

How could I have forgot I do this as well. When someone is at my apartment, and they are watching tv I always make sure the volume is on an even number. I think I have even spent five or six minutes just trying to get the volume on my tv up. I have a shitty remote for my lcd tv, and the buttons no longer work. So when I push vol.up or vol.down it goes really fast making it difficult to stop it on an even...

This was a good reminder for me I need to go buy a new tv...Lucky me wal-mart is having a big sale on them f*ckin sweet....

[Polk]

I crack my knuckles and my neck. I used to have a problem with biting my nails, but I think I've pretty much solved that.

I also have this problem with tapping my fingers. I do it when I'm bored or if I hear a song I like. I've actually been chewed out by a customer for doing it when she was writing a check.

I don't know what to believe with this whole cracking of your bones thing. First it's bad for you and could cause arthritis then they say cracking prevents arthritis.

I heard that it temporarily relieves the pain of arthritis not prevents it. Maybe that clears it up? Causes arthritis, but also temporarily relieves the pain. This link states that it is not possible to get arthritis from joint-popping.

[Rocky]

I crack my neck all the damn time, its really bad haha. I've never been a fan of biting nails, I guess I saw my friends do it when I was younger and was grossed out by it.

Another thing I do is.. I'm not even sure how to explain it, but here goes. I guess I tweak my lips around subconsciously, if that's what you want to call it. If I'm bored sitting in class or whatever, I'll be moving my mouth and lips every few seconds, it's hard to discribe lol. Dunno why I do it, just kind of a stress reliever. I also shake my knee a lot in class if I'm working on an assignment or test or something too.

That's an old wives tale it's just the release of gas from between the bones
Effects:
more flexibilty
more prone to injury

Time for a list... >_>

1. (Most prominent, and still ails me)Fingernail Biting - Wow, it seems like a LOT of people face this. o_O As for me, its a habit that's surprisingly difficult to break. I think I even do it when I don't know it, and THAT'S really sad...

2. Organizing Issues - I'm serious when I say I found a bowl in my closet while cleaning it yesterday. You don't wanna know what was in there... O_o As for the rest of my organizing woes, I find it hard to keep tabs on it all... then again, it probably all falls upon...

3. Procrastination - Oh, yes... Yes... Everyone at my school is familiar with this little curse. True, its self-induced due to laziness or loss of interest, but its fairly common. Oh, if only I had a dollar for any of my famous one-liners... >_>

"Hang on..."
"Just a minute..."
"Wait..."
"I'll be right there..."
"Just give me two seconds..."
"Almost there..."

The list goes on...

4. Staying up WAY late (Even on school nights... this has to stop...) - Yeah... this one is really my own fault. I have the full power to simply hop in bed and shut my eyelids... but no, I gotta stay on the computer for JUST A MINUTE. >.< (I am SO bad at responsibility... Even typing this, I just know I'm gonna be up till like 4... -_-) Yes, I know what happens when you stay up TOO late, but I don't pull all-nighters, not anymore, I don't last.

5. Earbuds are ALWAYS there - This is so bad, I consider it a habit. I always, always, ALWAYS listen to things through earbuds. (Not the bigass headphones, the small, portable, fit-in-your-ear type ones.) Whatever it may be, PSP, DS, computer, ANYTHING, I gotta have them on. Its so bad, I just refuse myself to listen to anything without them. The only time I get on the computer that has sound IS at 4 in the morning, when my parents stop playing some game about fish. I have to be quiet... >_>

Eh, 5's good. I might add more later when I discover how truly ****ed up I am, but in the meantime, these are my most prominent habits.
