We’ve all got them. One that my wife quickly broke me from was leaving the toilet seat up. No more of the Spartan life as a married man. Also, whether I’m actively watching or not, I like to have the tv on. I’ll get drilled every so often for sitting and reading, doing a crossword, etc. while the tv is going.

Bad habits I hate are people who chew their fingernails. Makes my skin crawl. Also, my FIL (now deceased) was a prodigious talker and at the table, he would ramble on and continuously move his food around on his plate. This would drag out the meal for an eternity…

I have the habit of popping my knuckles. I hate it but can't seem to stop. I pop the knuckles on both hands, my neck, my back, my knees, and anything else that I can get to pop.. I also hate to see people chewing their finger nails and I'll usually tell them to stop and say, "there's no telling where those have been." Also, my dad's wife does the same, talking while stirring her food. DRIVES. ME. NUTS!

I prop my elbows on the table when I eat, and I eat way too fast.

I flash my high beams at other drivers who deserve it. According to my gf this will end up with both of us getting shot. I still do it.

I detest flip flops at work. I mean hate them. I don't want to see your nasty assed feet. And I damn sure don't want to hear them smacking down the hallway like a fat kid eating taffy.

I’m the one that ended up with a cracked tooth from eating a shrimp.
Seedy has perfect teeth. :headslap:
Chewed ice all my life. Any cracked teeth, nope. Not one. Eat theater popcorn twice. $6000 in implants. There may be at least one thing my momma was not 100% correct about.

Bad habits? WIthout those I would not have any habits. When kids asked why I bit my finger nails my reply was "its better than smoking" Worst habits are eating too much junk and being too sedentary now.

I have the bizarre habit of repeating under my breath the last two or three words of what I say out loud.
I fill glasses to the brim with whatever I'm drinking, knowing I'm improving the odds of having to clean up a spill, yet I still shake my fist and rage at the sky when it happens.
I can't check my doors enough times to make sure they are locked at night. Similarly, if things are slow at my job, I can't check my work enough times to make sure it's right.

Yup....If I don't wait until everyone gets their food first I'm done before they get to the table.....I do the elbows as I sit and wait for them to finish.
Chew ice....
Annoy people frequently....

I'm too judgemental of others and blind to my own faults.

My wife says my most used phrase is "I didn't do anything wrong".
