  • Bad Habits

    I have this stupid habit of breaking clips off of lids of pens...but my "OCD" requires me to have a pen that I can play with the clip

    It's a damn vicious cycle...and I've spent more money on pens than I'd ever like to admit

    I have a bad habit or popping my knuckles. Half the time I don't even know I am doing it till someone says "you really shouldn't do that", or my kids say "GROSS!!!!".

      I have a bad habit of clipping my toenails and saving them in a jar.

        ask them why you shouldn't do it. Popping joints does not cause arthritis unless your are viciously doing it to your joints.


        I have a bad habit of buying rounds of shots for everyone when out. It makes for an expensive bar tab.

          I have a bad habit of chewing on straws. I have an addiction to fountain drinks so I am always getting straws. When I am done with the drink, I chew the hell out of the straw. I've always been orally fixated but this particular habit grosses my husband out beyond belief.

            Don't let Enfuego know about your oral fixation.

              Drinking too much coffee. It tires me out, dehydrates me and makes my stomach turn in knots by 3pm. Yet, I still guzzle it down without remorse.

                I'm exactly the same way, except with meth.

                  My daughter does this and it drives me mad. Every once in a while, I'll find a three day old chewed up straw behind the couch which just sicks me out.

                  I'd ask you how to untrain this behavior, but you're apparently not the one to ask.

                      Yes. If you pop knuckles by pulling them, it's better than if you pop them by twisting. Twisting carries a heavy risk of tearing ligaments.

                      Popping your neck is a completely different matter. Excessively popping your neck can actually cause you to have a stroke. Especially if you use tour hands to put excessive torque on your neck. Besides, if you are constantly popping your neck/back you should probably see a chiropractor.

                      No I'm not a medical student. We had a lengthy discussion about this while discussing sports injuries in my anatomy class.

                      Edit: Oh, and the whole connection between arthritis and joint popping is bogus.

                        Me too, I am really bad about chewing my fingernails. I don't really keep them in a jar.

                        I have a cousin that got an infected toe because she chewed her toenails, she was about 16 when it happened because she missed a few weeks of basketball because of it. :vomit.

                              I chew on things. Straws, toothpicks, pens, whatever. I try to always have gum, but when I don't its whatever is around.

                              I bite my nails terrible. Whenever I am bored...driving, sitting in class, watching tv, whatever.

                              I crack my knuckles and neck.
