What is your worst bad habit? ( like biting your nails, smoking, picking your nose...I will LOL if someone says that..... etc.)

I'm not very good on keeping my heels lotioned up so when the skin is dry (like now) I will sit (esp in the car if we are going somewhere) and pull the dead skin off. Drive DH nuts!
Plus it makes my heels look even worse.

I used to bite my nails, now I keep them long.
I drink, nearly daily, though I do not get drunk, I only enjoy two to three every evening.
I smoke and I swear like a sailor.



Oh, and I do pick my nose, in private in the bathroom.
I have a busted eardrum so blowing is far too painful an ordeal.

Not sure how bad but I buy books buy the dozen from thrift stores. I read fast and do eventually read them all. Cheaper to buy any I like at thrift then to try to score them on ebay
Husband always asks the same thing-dont you have some at home...well yea but you know I will read them

For years I bit my nails. They were always ugly and bitten right down into the quick. Nasty. I quit biting them and now keep them quite long.

And I can cuss like a sailor, too, especially when I'm really angry about something. I can probably make a sailor blush.

I have some habits/idiosyncrasies that drive others nuts, but I don't know if they could be called bad habits in the sense that biting one's nails would be a bad habit.

Habits/behaviors that bother others: Over attention and focus on details. Asking questions/wanting to understand how and why something works or needs to be done - I can't tell when people do not want to be bothered with this.
Bluntness/honest.
I fidget and tap on things. Going on about certain things, spewing of facts... I sound like a book. And the weirdest one, I over organize/systematize everything with a preference for specific numbers of things.

I smoke and drink but cleaning is my worst habit, I am obsessed, I will hoover 3-4 times a day, mop twice and I never sit still during the day, drives everyone mad including me but I have to do it.x

I am so boring! I quit smoking, can't drink because of my medications, don't bite my nails. I do swear but am working on that.

These days I think other than being to lazy to motivate myself, my worst habit is giving in to my Kitty when he nags for treats that he shouldn't have.

My natural tendency to want to stay up very late. And not be bothered with doing anything in the AM. I will be up, but not chipper!

I tend to get these cysts or pimples on my back that I love to pick. Even I think that it is yucky.

Never bit my nails but they just don't grow so I think that everyone thinks that I do.

I occasionally still bite on my nails. Drives Rob nuts


Quit smoking in 2005, so that was a bad habit I kicked!
