[Lunatique]

What are your annoying/bad habits?

Mine:

*Whenever there is music playing, I HAVE to drum my fingers or slap my thighs and play a rythm to it.

*I ask very personal questions, even to people I barely know. I feel that small talk is bullshit--you should get to the heart of the person.

*I'm very clean. I must wash my hands when I feel they are dirty, or use hand sanitizer lotion.

*I always ask the waiter/waitress to NOT put too much ice in my drink. I prefer to have 80% drink and 20% ice cubes, instead of the other way around.

*I can't shut up when I see a bad movie, hear a bad song, or just heard someone's bullshit. I HAVE to criticize it. I feel I can't let them get away with it.

*I get really sentimental and mushy, and that annoys a lot of people.

What about you?

[Socar MYLES]

I hog the shower, and use up all the soap. I stay in there for ages, using up all the hot water, all the soap, all the shampoo, and all the shaving cream. That's probably my MOST annoying habit.

I also like to make rude noises, especially loud, pig-like snorts, when people are on the telephone. Sometimes, I even make sex noises. I couldn't be more immature.

Hm...what else? If people ask me what I want to eat and I'm not really paying attention, I always say something completely uninformative. For example: "Oh, I feel like something crunchy today...crunchy, but juicy as well." Now, what in the HELL would that be? I say these things, and just expect people to understand what I'm on about.

Oh, yeah...and I put my feet on things all the time. I never sit properly. Even on aeroplanes, where you're supposed to have your feet on the floor (at least during takeoff and landing), I always curl up with my feet on the seat. I do it at people's houses, too. I just stick my horrible old feet right up on their couches. Shame on me!

[Jezebel]

* I scratch the tip of my nose ALL the time. I dunno... I think my nose is unusually ticklish, haha

* Sometimes I take the last of something without asking someone if they want it first. I don't do it to be selfish or mean but I'm incredibly forgetful. Not a habit I do all the time, but I always feel bad whenever I get a second bowl of soup and someone says, "Oh I didn't know there was enough for seconds! Is there still more left?" "*gulp*...uh-oh..."

* I complain a lot. Often about things that don't matter. Sometimes at the end of the day though I just feel the need to release all my pointless little frustrations. Also, if I get annoyed about something I have a really hard time dropping it.

* I am a total worry wart. So much so that I often won't leave the house. I even have to do stupid things like wear shoes when I'm relaxing just to feel safer because I am afraid that somehow my feet will get cut off. Have you ever heard anything so rediculous? But I'm -very- paranoid and anxious.

* My sentences are plagued with words such as "umm" "yeah" and "like".

* I'm the most picky eater under the sun.

I can relate to most of the stuff that's already been mentioned, I guess I do some of that every once in a while - except the shoe thing, but I do check my shoes for scorpions in the morning. (Maybe not a bad habit, since I did find one in the hallway once.)
My kids will likely add I shout too much, my wife will add I spend too much time on the computer...
I guess another would be I can be too polite and concerned with how I affect other people sometimes, especially strangers, a typical Swedish trait - the less we know a person the more wary we become about offending him/her, or just plain 'being in the way'.

[Probus]

i�m too shy amongst people i barely know, i talk way too much amongst people i know well. i�m lazy when it comes to things i don�t like to do(school). i think i�m quite positive and trusting to people, but since i know that, this can result in situations where i get very distrusting.

i�m a complainer too, but only when i really have a reason to.

i talk way too much about art. i feel some people really get annoyed by me.

[Jabberwocky]

Socar MYLES - "Oh, I feel like something crunchy today...crunchy, but juicy as well." Now, what in the HELL would that be?" I think that would fall under the description on crusty boogers... So next time you might want to add, "and is not a waste from a body!"

My bad habits:

• When someone is speeding and passing cars and they are behind me I get so I'm next to another car (so they can't pass me) and go slow!
  
• Slam on my breaks for bummer riders...
  
• chew my nails... I don't bit them off just chew in them. but only when I'm nervous.
  
• I have a temper... no more said about that.
  
• I too use all the hot water... take like an hour 2 hour baths.
  
• perfectionist. My room and computer area has to be a certain way.
  
• Along with Perfectionist I'm an organized neat freak.
  
• I sleep through class.
  
• I spend too much time on the computer. Either on the net, playing games, or with my art work.
  

I think that's it... I know I probably have more, but that's all II can't think of.

[Pat]

"Oh, I feel like something crunchy today...crunchy, but juicy as well." --That's celery, right?

I've got typical guy bad habits. I leave the seat up on the toilet.

-Pat

[christian cox]

Hmm, that's a tough thing to answer... I'm not quite sure what my 'bad' habits are, I'm a pretty subdued (or maybe that's 'sedated', not sure) person. I would think that on the ocassion that I get very angry, I tend to yell. I also have an obsession with doodling, it's hard to stop that when I'm trying to do other work. Yeah, I'm boring -- perhaps I should take up some more bad habits.

Oh, I guess playing too many games and being on the internet too much is a bad habit. But I love it so much, I'm not going to try and get over that one. I can also be quite a smartass sometimes.

[Ahcri]

- I have a short temper, but I'm too much of a wuss to do anything about it. For example, if I see someone throwing garbage out of their car, I would get very angry, but I would never go there and say "Pick up your garbage, foo!"

- I will keep wearing the same shirt for up to a week or until it gets dirty.

- If there is a problem with my friends or in my family, I just HAVE to solve it. Somehow I usually feel that I'm responsible for the disturbance.

- I turn the music really loud when I paint.

- I would think about a previous encounter with an acquaintance a week ago and think "What does he mean when he said that? Was he insulting me?"

- I insist to cook when there are already a lot of food in the fridge, I just hate old food!

[Norling]

Hmm....I think this is the worst things about me:

* I'm flirting with almost every girl, eavin if i dont like them...It always ends up with that i have to explain myself and tell ppl how wierd i am.

* I like to make people's first impression of me wacky...

* I do computer graphics rather than hoework.

* I spend a lot of time with meaningless threads....just like this one...

[[Shizo]]

I clog up the toilet with my big poo (it's true).

[Red Leader]

• I am too linear. I must anal retentively deal with *everything* in a specific sequence. See, I even made this an actual list in UBB code.
  
• I let dishes pile up when I work
  
• I am always working
  
• I don't suffer fools very well... and can be intolorant of people whom I find to be "not up to speed."
  
• I imitate my friends voices all the time when I talk to them on the phone, and have them say goofball things
  
• I often let my mind wander, and make myself laugh at inapropriate times. Like during presentations and stuff. I don't sit idle well.
  
• If I buy a tub of icecream, I'll eat it all on the first day. That's "Eat" as in chew. Chewing icecream seems to creep people out, but my teeth can take it.
  

[Lunatique]

Red Leader- Bwahahahahahaha!!!! Damn, yours made me laugh.

[12345]

i sleep too much

[nomad]

* Somehow I always mangle the pages of anything I read. I just like crumpling paper.

* According to my parents (nobody else would ever notice stuff like this) I slurp when I drink and hold my fork the wrong way.

* I use pirated software, and listen to pirated music.

* I waste heaps of hot water.

* I drink too much carbonated crap.

[Anthony]

Hrmm...

-I don't listen to people very well, unless it's something I'm actually interested in. This comes of being completely focused internally and on a single thing at a time.

-I sometims study people like they were amoeba under my microscope, giving little thought to them as anything more

-I don't hold the broadsword close enough to my body when doing Kungfu

[Futura]

Welll, I am perfect and I don't have any problems. Check 1: Egotism. Check 2: Lying.
I tend to be subdued for most of a conversation and then suddenly become proactive. That scares some people.
I do some really stoopid stuff for the hell of it. Like deciding to attach a tow rope to a snow mobile and getting on a pair skis and going around at 30 mph and ending up with the tow rope wrapped around a tree and me slightly dazed and confused.
I randomly race people on the freeway.
Related, I am a bastard in the sense that I have a laser detecter and I a) rev my engine when I enter a zone and if anyone speeds up, I laugh, or b) I take the time to drive around the area a few times blinking my brake lights and warning people just to piss of the cop.
I lack empathy to varying degrees
I never payed attention to pointless tasks like homework in school.
I usually like expensive things as compared to a comparable cheap things.
I own more art supplies than I know what to do with or have space for. I don't consider that a problem though.
I have a special ability that allows me to crack all my knuckles, my neck, jaw, and back all at the same time and I do it at totally inappropriate times like in a crowded subway.
I like shock value.
I have an obsession with death, and thus I am called Morbid Curiosty Boy.
I think that is enough for now...

[LinaBo]

oh, wow, you sure have opened a can of worms:

well:

-I'm an insomniac, and even though it's a sleep disorder i can't really help, I still annoy the hell out of my parents (yes. I still live with them. not for long, not for long)

-I don't really get awake and going until about 3pm, and don't fall asleep till about 3-4am.

-when I drink something, I don't sip, I chug. I drink alot of milk and orange juice, especially.

-I'm incredibly fidgetty. I swear, I have twice as many eyelashes as the average person, or something. I also have really thick, long hair. it always gets in the way, even in a ponytail. so I'm always rubbing the tip of my nose, corner of my eye, or brushing hair out of my face. I know: EW! (but hey, I use sanitizer, like, every 30 seconds at work. I may be fidgetty, but at least I'm clean)

-My SHORT-short term memory is shot to hell. I have to quadruple check my alarm clock when I set it, and I usually forget someone's name after about 10 minutes of hearing it. Because I'm never sure, and I have a phobia of calling someone by the wrong name!

-Ugh...I'm a shameless flirt. I do it all the time, it doesn't mean with everyone, it's just...I donno. I'm not trying to use anyone or anything, I guess I'm just a sexual creature or something (honest, I'm actually a nice person...HONEST!!!!!REALLY!!!! )

-Oh, I'm very very messy. papers EVERYWHERE. is it me, or are alot of artist very messy disorganized people?

-I, too, have very little tolerance for 'dumb' people. i know, it's so mean, I have to have patience, but I have other things to do with my time. People who act like dopes, repeat the same information, jokes, etc. to you over and over and forget to keep track of what they've said and what they haven't. I mean, everyone does it to some degree, but to excess (several times daily) is just irritating.

-ooo, I'm also a chronic worrier, I can't stand to have ANY loose ends, I must wrap them all up or I make myself very sick over it.

-finally, my biggest bad habit: I am very political, and even though I believe in non-interference (see religion thread), I let myself slip sometimes and get really medieval on someone's ass when I disagree with them. (leading to many a disagreement and me covering my tracks. Ugh...and THEN I regret it, oh boy, do I ever...)

[klaivu]

Let's see ...

I'm very egoistic. That's why i love threads like this. I talk about myself all the time and rarely about other people. I'm so self-involved that it annoys people. I think you could call me an egoistic prick.

I'm somewhat eccentric and nihilistic. Eg. I take curious pride in the fact that I spent last friday alone with a bottle of gin - ie. being weird on purpose. Listing bad habits is a form of bragging to me. Sort of evolved teen angst or just mere teen angst i think.

I get very drunk alone. I also drink too much these days.

I don't flirt or try to get to know people.

I try to depress people on purpose.

I don't hear people talking to me when I read. They have to tear the book off my hands to get my attention.

I let the dishes pile until they grow mold.

For some reason, I have to hold down laughter whenever someone I know is so distressed that he or she cries. I don't find it funny at all, I just ... have to laugh ? Might be just because I'm nervous, but it sure is very annoying.

[Trigger]

Yey, first post...
Anyway,

-I spend way too much time playing around with my computer when I should be doing my homework

-People tell me that I am always sarcastic (they're probably right)

-And I'm a quite pessimistic person.

[Dryfire]

yeah computer takes a lot of time out of my life. so.......

- I do little smiley faces way too much =D or :-D

-I bite my nails all the time... i usually don't even know i'm doign it.

-Whenever i'm talking with someone i have a like fear that there is something falling out of my nose. and try to like hit my face trying to figure out if there really is.

-right above my ear always itches.. i must scratch it, or it will kill me!

-Look at other people's artwork more than i myself produce it!

-Can't stay focused on doing tedious oftenly boring things such as schooling or homework.

-I too always wear my shoes everywhere. I just can't help it! =D what if theres a thumbtack on the floor! (has happened)

[RoadMaster]

okay here we go (pulls out his giant list). I'll probably forget a few, but aw hell...

- I don't really care much about my appearance. When I get dressed I use the "top of the pile" method of choosing my outfit, my hair is done in two combs, and anything else I don't even notice.

- I'm a sarcastic person in general, and tend to overexaggerate things on purpose to make my point

- I don't know if this counts as egotistical (I joke about being egotistical even though I'm not really, I'm just perfect, that's all) but I always insult others, just call them stupid for making a silly mistake or something.

- I have a tendancy to instinctantly laugh when others are laughing, even though I have no idea what was funny, or if what was said wasn't really considered funny by me.

- I have a hard to understand voice, but I don't usually hear what OTHERS are saying

- I don't remember names at all. I have to be reminded about 20 times for a name to stick in my head. I've found a way around it, by avoiding to say people's names alltogether unless I am sure of their name, so often I'll say "hey man" because I don't know what their names are

- I use the same catchphrase over and over until I get tired of it (an example of this is the elves thing in my signature)

- I tend to go on tangents in a conversation thinking that they made sense

- I almost always wash my hands with ice cold water. You may think that wouldn't annoy anyone else, but I sometimes give people the shivers touching them after I've washed my hands, and if they use the sink they complain about how cold the water is

- I touch my face and hair a lot, but as I've already said I don't concentrate on fixing my hair or anything, so by the end of the day my hair is all over the place from stretching around

- I'm very flexible, tending to put my right arm behind my head, under my chin, and then scratch the top of my right ear with it. I also tend to sit with my legs one over the other, which results in others either giving my odd looks or two annoying people grabbing each of my feet and pulling them apart (so that my left leg goes right and my right leg goes left)

- I bounce to non-existant music that I listen to in my head

- this is more recent, but I tend to say the opposite of whatever my class wants. For example, my teacher often threatens that if we don't be quiet she will stop talking and just assign us to read the book, in which case while half the class is going "no no we'll be quiet!" I go "yey" quietly. The opposite applies too when I boo the teacher for taking up homework. The funny part is it's really my opinion. My teacher takes all her notes from the textbook anyway, so I would rather learn straight from the textbook, and I hate taking up review questions because the answers are already in our books.

[Fredrik Svensson]

This sleeping thing.. no matter how hard I try, I cant seem to get rid of the habit.

Everquest is a really bad habit of mine as well, but here its more the case of me having invested way too much time into it to just let go and get on with my life..

Oh, one more thing. The more I communicate in the english language in written form, the more I bastardize the grammatics.. Ive been trying to correct this lately though. Nowhere near l33t talk, its just so easy to throw grammatics and proper spelling out the window when everyone else around you is doing the same.

[synj]

i wipe my ass

[Shadow-X-]

I procrastinate !badly!, so badly that i am in my last year of high school, and failing 4 of my 6 classes! Oie! And university applications are comming soon, we're applying this week sometime, but marks arent going in. Not until march atleast. I better sober up. seriously... oie...

and I tend to say "Sorry" a lot, in person, or on ICQ/MSN, must have been why the girl I was "seeing" sorta stopped things before we went too far.. hmm, shitty.

[GatoNegro13]

I always bounce to non existent music that I have in my head! I drum to it as well! My biggest problem is I take what people say to seriously ....I rely heavily on words, I am very gulible, and I trust strangers.....

[ December 05, 2001: Message edited by: GatoNegro13 ]

[GatoNegro13]

Oh and Lunatique.....those habits you mentioned are NOT bad!! At least they seem like good behaviour to me.....

[Awetopsy]

I chew my fingernails and all the skin around them.. Its quite disgusting... Im trying to quit.

I also ask people if I can ask them a question..

I bounce my legs all the time, often both at the same time.

[Lunatique]

GatoNegro13-- well, it's up to others to decide if my habits are annoying. I guess I should be around people like you more, that way I won't annoy anyone.

[GatoNegro13]

Lunatique:
*I can't shut up when I see a bad movie, hear a bad song, or just heard someone's bullshit. I HAVE to criticize it. I feel I can't let them get away with it.

Ever watch mystery science theatre 3000? I LOVE THAT SHOW!!
