Anyone you know have any bad or unusual habits?

...or even you yourself!

If so, have you ever tackled them about it or do you just sit there grating your teeth in irritation (a bad habit itself :D) because you don't want to offend them?

I used to know a girl at school whose stomach continuously rumbled (she was stick thin so she was probably constantly starving) and it was especially noisy during assembly and prayers. People used to start giggling as the stomach made more strange noises. Obviously this was something kind of out of her control, but if she'd had some decent meals before hand it wouldn't have happened.

A lecturer at uni years ago used to insert the words "peep peep" or "toot toot" in to the middle of his ramblings. He was very eccentric but perhaps he just did that to keep us concentrating! However it was very disconcerting and we all ended up waiting for the next time he put in a silly word or two.

    Aw bless. I read it but couldn't think of anything. :)

    However, I have heard of someone whose bad habit is to pee in a bottle because they don't want to miss their tv programmes. :p Does that count?

    I find it a bit rude when someone starts their meal before everyone else.

    Doesn't that depend on who you are showering with?

    I had an ex boyfriend who had two irritating habits:

    1. He used to fold his ear into his earhole while making suckling motions with his mouth. This practice obviously gave him infantile comfort. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

    2. He used to pick massive bogeys out of his nose in his sleep and wipe them on the mattrass base. I do not want to remember the feeling I had when I found about a years worth.

    I can't understand how your relationship didn't last. He didn't pee in a bottle as well did he?

    Probably drunk it on the sly too.


    After the bogey incident, I dumped him.

    So he didn't know he was doing it?

    so he says, but I'm skeptical. Who wouldn't know they were picking their nose and wiping it?

    Substitute teapot for bottle and you'd be talking about Pete from Pete verses life

    A guy I used to house share with had a girlfriend who hung around the place, and only seemed to eat cheese and drink red wine. She never ate or drank anything else from what I saw of her, unless you count picking your nose and eating that.

    He ended up marrying her!

    My friend has a habit of going to grab a granny nights and picking up much older women.3-4 times a week he's done this for about 20 years.He'd rather do that than settle down with one special lady.He seems to think he's doing them a service.I suppose he is in a round about kind of way.
