Bad Habbits?

[Ucallme]

Ok im sure 95% of people have atleast one bad habbit.

My worst bad habbit is biting my nails. I've tried so many times to stop but I cannot for some strange reason, maybe because I have been biting my nails for 25 years. I mainly got the habbit from my DAD from being so young and god for bid I would like to stop the cycle from going to my kids if/when I have them.

Anyone have any solutions for this?

Also, tell us about your bad habbits or habbits you have had and solved.

Think you can buy something to put on your fingers don't taste nice and that works

Biting my nails, and picking off skin of my fingers... ><

 

[old.Tohtori]

I don't think i know any bad hobbits.

 

[DocWolfe]

being messy

 

[fl3a]

biting the calloused skin off the corners of my fingers
downpicking too much

 

[Nate]

not finishing things i start (a general lack of effort due to lazyness) i think ;o

 

[MaCaBr3]

Beeing messy and wiggle my legs all the time when I sit. I don't see the later as bad habbit, but people get nervous from it for some reason. I'm just having a beat in my head or wiggle out of boredom.

Getting distracted from doing work

 

[Naetha]

Procrastination.

My gf have had this bad habbit as well. She got over it, by visiting manicyr once in like two week - by having her nails painted with gel like cover (sp?), obviously since ur a guy (I think ?), this won't apply to u.

For kids there is available this awful tasting stuff which can be applied to one's nails. Then the subject will not so passionately eat the nails as its tasting so awful.

Hmm bad habits eh?

well then:
-smoking (obviously)
-Un-wedgieing myself in public
-obsessing about college work though this mean is get good marks and get it all done im not sure how "healthy" it is
-snoring (aparantly i do a death rattle)
-occasionally when i err let one rip people have been known to drop down dead and a few of the lesser known species of birds have become extinct... (however this isnt as bad as my bf because we were in tescos a while back and i went of to get something and found him and said "blimey i think a rat died behind one of the shelves... omg that was you wasnt it!" and i noticed all the other shoppers had totally evacuated the area)
-not very tollerant of people who are dirty/smelly/lazy/rude... sad to say but people who are really really thick also irritate me (i know thats so awful)
-antisocial
-oversensitive
-my feet are perma cold and i use my bf to warm them up on, in the winter i steal his heat and in the summer i give it all back to him
-i sleep cat style, im small but i take up as much of the bed as possible.

i think that about covers it... yep, thats all the PG stuff dealt with

I hope you said this will a hell of a lot of irony? Because you seem to be quite dirty/smelly/rude yourself

That's the impression i got from your other habits anyway. Nothing wrong with being those things if you want to be, but you probably shouldn't throw stones.



Edit: forgot to add my bad habits

1) Beleiving myself when i say "oh il do my college work tomorrow"
2) Stealing sisters hair stuff (what? i like my hair smooth and shiney)
3) Telling my self i wont buy more than 2 drinks when i go out and then spending £30+

 

[Matriarch|Sneakers]

Lols, a chick can't do a death rattle ezte

 

[Lagas]

all the normal bad habits... biting nails etc

btw: why am i getting pip commercials at the bottom? "Error pip exe repair" "Pip strip" "PI, PIP, PIP2" ...

-obsessing about college work though this mean is get good marks and get it all done im not sure how "healthy" it is

one of the lecturers at uni advised against this.

her advice was you really need some kind of schedule. to plan out the time you have and fit stuff in like - going to college, work, revision, free time.

unless you have some free time that doesnt involve anything related to college, you may well crack up and actually do worse work from putting in too much time.

3) Telling my self i wont buy more than 2 drinks when i go out and then spending £30+

i tell my self that everyday, but what use is youth if you cant leap the boundaries?

ive also got limited time for people i would deem as being none too sharp. its not because i believe im elite but you get tired of having to explain every fucking thing, helping them with everything. sometimes you cant even crack jokes because they are so damn stupid they dont get the punch line.

On nail biting - the stuff you paint your nails with that's supposed to tase nasty never worked for me - my Gran put it on mine when I was a kid. What I did find that worked was to paint the nails with clear nail varnish (coloured looks bad on bitten nails + won't work for most guys). Now the nail varnish doesn't taste nasty as such but the feel of it in your mouth is very nasty indeed and stops me for biting. Then once the nails are grown I like how they look and that provides the motivation to carry on.


The other way I stopped biting my nails was to fracture my elbow and have my arm in a sling so I couldn't move it but that's not to be recommended as it also seriusly disrupts your gameplay

Oo

people who live in glass houses can throw as many stones as they like just so long as they do not attempt to judge my personality based on a few very weak assumptions.

Get as many impressions you like but heres another old worn out cliche for you, dont judge a book by its cover :touch:

Is it possible you completely missed the point I was making? I can ask it to fly a little lower next time if you'd like.

 

[Ezteq]

no no thats ok i got the point, it was several miles off track so i had to take a taxi to intercept it, it was weak and dying though so i slapped a bandage upon its badly grazed knees and gave it some junior disprin.

you have a good day now, ok bu bye then.

[Ezteq]

We wouldn't, but since you refuse to show your jubblies, we can't judge you by any other means then by your covers
