What are some things you do that are just plain old bad habits?

Me:
I bite my nails if they are too long.
If it itches, I scratch it, consequences be damned!
I don't like uncomfortable sores or blisters and I often pop them.
Drinking out of the same cup, sometimes for days at a time; some people can't stand that (I can't stand it when people drink straight from the container unless its a serving sized one).
Leaving my mail lying around... I am particular about a million things but I just toss my mail wherever.
Posting on NSG (Obligatory)

I have an annoying tendency to point out peoples mistakes when they say something inaccurate, at very inappropriate times...many a professor hated me back in college...lol

Bite nails,
Fail to wash up dishes and glasses until about the stage where there's mould growing on them,
Fail to change my bedding more than once a month,
Working too hard, at the expense of a social life,
Eating awful food because I can't be bothered to cook anything vaguely complicated.

Thats 'bout it. Otherwise I'm just pretty damn awesome.

Yep

belching and farting loudly (I'm a guy so naturally...)
playing with my balls (again)
talking out my arse
competitive streak
tendency to do silly things just because like putting a lit match in the microwave
not knocking on doors first

Working too hard, at the expense of a social life

good one :tongue:

Hot-headed and I speak without thinking sometimes.
Lazy.
Bite nails.
I don't listen to others sometimes.
Sloppy when eating at the house.

Is flirting with almost any female I meet a bad habit?

I forgot to add that to the list of my bad habits.:tongue:

Posting on NSG and otherwise wasting time on the internet while I should be taking notes or participating in the discussion in class.

Which is what I am doing now...

My bad habit is compulsively admitting to bad habits that I don't actually have.
I frequently masturbate in public.
I stab prostitutes to death and eat their livers.
I sing Barry Manilow songs while having sex.

Not being able to lose weigth (chocolate is my downfall :()
Not having a lot of patience with some people

As long as you do not pull the blankets over your fiance's head its not so bad.

I forgot to add that to the list of my bad habits.:tongue:

I think it is because I'm good at the begging, very good at the end, but somewhere in the middle I mess up.

What about the one with the donkeys, and the trumpet?
Oh, yes, I teach donkeys how to play the trumpet. Then, just as their new found talent is starting to blossom, I deprive them of their instruments in order to relish the existential agony of a deprived artist.
That's not so much a habit as a fetish, though.

I only do that if he did it before...

Yes, we can be sick people indeed.

That's revenge, that IS a bad habit, but totally fair.

Farting under the blankets makes them warmer ;)

Where the hell have you been? I haven't seen you forever.

Also, I have a tendency to thread-jack, apparently.

Shit Smunkee, if I got upset when people threadjacked/spammed my threads I would never post, because that is what I do in almost every single other person's thread.

I have no bad habits. I do bite my nails(both fingers and toes), pick my nose when I get a right crunchy one, fart in public, and take the piss outa my wife and children.

I would call all of this quite normal though, innit!

Does smoking count?

this thread is about bad habits not good ones

now if it was something like weirding people out by sending them envelopes filled with nail clippings which they drop all over the floor then maybe we could set up a club

Thinking out loud, I have a habit of that.

Ahh shit yeah I do that everyday as part of my copeing mechinisms.

I can't really read my own handwritting, so taking note to remind me of my work load don't help.
So I maintian an almost constant litany of mumbbled

'yeah that worked, right what next ohh yeah Lucy's phone problem, then Derricks email. Okay that should do Lucy, aggghh shit, ohh damn, yeah heh I forgot that lil switch, thats better now what next, ohh yeah Derrick'

We all tend to mess up in the middle. :p

Bwahahaha! Heh perhaps I should have been clearer, I was of course talking to SaintB!:D

I eat way too much.
I drink way too little.
I fail to close doors.
When closing doors, I fail to use the handle.
I leave my stuff everywhere.
I leave my mouth open when thinking/reading, thus looking like I'm not even capable of thinking/reading most of the time.
I often fondle my breasts when immersed in thought.
I smirk at stupid people. I don't want to, I swear I don't do it, either, but everyone says I do. I've gotten slapped lots by my mother for smirking at her.

Bwahahaha! Heh perhaps I should have been clearer, I was of course talking to SaintB!:D

Too late, matey. SaintB already walked the plank. It be thy turn! Arrrrrrgh!



Damn me! I friggin' hate pirates!! And I'm imitating one. Waterboard me!!!!

Terribly sorry for you. Maybe you ought to go ask Neo Art whether he' still got some manacles for you.

Get me Neo Art, in a shinny cat-suit!:eek:

Everytime I hand anyone something I say "Here's your receipt, have a nice night." Regardless of if I'm handing my friend a cookie and it's seven a.m., I automatically say that.

Also, I sing to myself no matter what I'm doing.

And I announce out loud what I am doing. Which is okay if my dogs are around and I'm at home. But in, say, the grocery store, it's odd. However, I did accidentally condition my dogs to know that "Okay" means to get up because we are going in a different room. Which is pretty freaking cool.

biting nails, procrastinating, putting off unwanted tasks, reading things that aren't there, being sensative. Other than that can't think of much else

I have a bad habit of sleeping around.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a bad habit, but my girlfriends don't usually agree.

I understand, but if you want to express your desire to further my habits do it in private please.

FS's bad habits:
Smoking + drinking
burping
yelling
I embarrass my girlfriend
procrastinating
masturbating (even though my girlfriend is hot :) )
being late for things
forgetting stuff
being messy
forgetting to put the toilet seat down.
...I'm sure there are more but I can't think of any.

bad habits:
I leave semi full soda bottles all over, I hate that I do it but I keep doing it...
pizza, eat way too much of it
tear my fingernails instead of clipping them
don't clean as often or as well I probably should
sleep in way too late on Jims days off.

I often fondle my breasts when immersed in thought.


Its ok, I forgive you.

Just for that I can forgive you for all of them.

Too late, matey. SaintB already walked the plank. It be thy turn! Arrrrrrgh!



Damn me! I friggin' hate pirates!! And I'm imitating one. Waterboard me!!!!

Aye aye Cap'n!

Writing too quick
Posting too many times in a row
Abstract concepts
Posting on NSG when I should be working
Seeing too many side to a simple issue
over analyzing things
Over simplification
Assuming everyone knows what I know and is therefore not relevant
Smoking + drinking
on and on and on

I understand, but if you want to express your desire to further my habits do it in private please.

I think you missread me. Try again.

hehe yeah the old job bleeding over into yoru personal ife huh.

I get that some times, I answer the phone with the words 'Hello, IT'

Damn me! I friggin' hate pirates!! And I'm imitating one. Waterboard me!!!!

What did we ever do to you? We just want to worship the FSM in peace. :(

Its ok, I forgive you.

Just for that I can forgive you for all of them.

Yeah, thanks. It still gets a lot of odd looks. The boyfriend doesn't appreciate it, either. ;(

Yeah, thanks. It still gets a lot of odd looks. The boyfriend doesn't appreciate it, either. ;(

We've already come to the conclusion that something is weird about him though ;).

I wish at least one my girlfreinds had done that. Sadly enough some of them didn't even think.

You, you brought us scurvy!:eek2: And parrots, and wooden legs, and eye patches á lá Tom Cruise.

I have a bad habit of not sleeping until 1 or 2 pm in the afternoon.

I'm going to work on that one, and go to bed at 10 am today, so good night NS.

I am a bad habit. :)

I am a bad habit. :)

Apart from scurvy and Tom Cruise, those are bad things how? :tongue:

I kill hookers and bury them in my backyard.

But enough about that, you were asking me what my bad habits are?

Taking things apart

How about we make a pact that both of us vastly improve the quality of people we are with from now on?

Heh what like the lyrics of that song.... you know the one that goes:

'If you can't love the one you're with...... change him!':D

Heh what like the lyrics of that song.... you know the one that goes:

what about a sheman, or hewoman? (agghh the irony, my music list randomed to queen hammer fall, must resist dirty thoughts must purge)

Well yes it does, as I was gently knocking the female attitude to changing their men!:D

shhhh now I'm off to hide before Smunkee see's me.

How about we make a pact that both of us vastly improve the quality of people we are with from now on?

Sure! 'm already working on that but having a partner in crime helps.

See sadly I'm not an improvement in quality because I'm broke.

I have no bad habits. I do bite my nails(both fingers and toes), pick my nose when I get a right crunchy one, fart in public, and take the piss outa my wife and children.
why? Do you no have a toilet or is this a catheter fetish?

See sadly I'm not an improvement in quality because I'm broke.
What's a person's financial situation to do with their quality as a partner?

As long as someone does not plan leeching off my income to be their main source of 'income' for indefinite amount of time, I see that to be no detriment to a relationship.

I forgot to add that to the list of my bad habits.:tongue:

You flirt with almost every female you meet? My my... I had no idea.

This is weird. Your ignorance would've normally led me to the conclusion you have her on IGNORE, but seeing how you replied to her post...or is my sracasm-meter borked again?

Also, where exactly is America's penis located?

You have a point :). Most women 'round these parts don't seem to think that way though. Better be careful or I might just try to chase you :fluffle:

You'd have to be crazy not to want to flirt with BOTH of you.

Bad habits? Most of my life is a bad habit.

Women like you and SoWiBi remind me that there are still women out there who aren't shallow or vain, who have a brain in thier head and actually use it, who can be funny, are sexy without being slutty, independent without being overbearing, easy going, and in short just plain amazing.

Simultaniously you also make me wonder if they only live far far away from me :p.

Aww. Know what? I'll print that out and put it on my desk. Them's terribly nice words.

Though I still have some issues with it... like: How do you know my brain is actually in my head? There's this cute jar-to-laptop USB device I've been using.. nevermind. Oh, and the problem is not that we're far away from you, but that you're far away from us. I mean, we at least team up against you with the same continent and all. *nods*

B-tan, thank you so much for those words. I think I should do like SoWiBi suggested and print these words and put them on my desk. It's always nice to know that some men out there do recognize that a woman that values her sexuality doesn't have to be a brainless twit. Several of the NSG ladies fit into your description. Empowered ladies that are smart and aren't afraid to say what they like or what they think. We have Neesika, Poliwanacraca, SoWiBi, Ryadn, Bottle, Katganistan, and Muravyets, ladies I am honoured to debate with.

If SoWiBi has her brain in a jar, I'll just have to go to Germany to steal in in hopes that the body will follow me back to the US. :p

And for the record I said women like, so I meant it as more inclusive :). I didn't have the time to write a whole list amazing females I encountered on NSG. Its bigger than amazing females I've met anywhere else though.

Nonono, you're getting it wrong again. If you're already here (to steal my brain), Nanatsu and I shall gang up on you and just tie you up, or put you in the aforementioned glass terrarium, or do whatever else we fancy to keep you here.

Maybe it's not us, maybe it's NSG. Maybe the Amazing Power of NSG (tm) turns your regular female into an amazing specimen. We ought to try and test this hypothesis and drag a Joanne Average complete with brain- and humordeath symptoms and all onto NSG and see how they develop.

Wanking whilst thinking about fucking me ex-girlfriend.

We can start with the woman I suffered through a date with last night, really sweet but as smart as a hammer.

Where's the "bad" part in that? I could see how thinking about your ex while fucking the new one all the time could be labelled such, but in this case..

Methinks you ought to revise your attitude towards living in a glass terrarium if you want to pursue that thought of coming here to steal my brain any further.

Oh, tell us more! How'd you end up on a date with her? And how did she demonstrate her smartidity?

She was a freind of a freind whom I met when having a large and impromptu gathering at a restaurant. As to how she demonstrated her lack of intelligence, she did so in several different ways, ones that by themselves wouldn't have proven much but together were pretty damning.

Hmm... well she didn't get any of my jokes until I dug into my collection of knock knocks; and the date was pretty much over when she mentioned she thought Barack Obama was going to be assassinated and that she voted for McCain because Sarah Palin was a good role model.

Smoke, drink, occassional drugs et al. Normal English middle class activities.

Yeah. I mean, the assassination theory abounds, but the Sarah Palin part.. yikes.

"Where's that?" she asked.

They were in a coffee shop that happened to have a big map of the world on the wall. So he gestured toward it and said, "It's the biggest country in South America."

She said, "Which one is South America?"

Pause... "It's the one below North America."

She said, "Which one is North America?"

Longer pause... "It's the one with the United States in it."

She said, ... You guessed it. For some reason he didn't go out with her again.

I should give the guy a medal for not walking out when she said "Where's Brazil."
I know so many guys that would just say, "Never mind" and something that equates to "We should fuck."
