What are your most annoying habits. I am almost loathe to admit mine but here goes. Picking my dry heels much to the annoyance of my wife.
@Craig Swanson Neither sounds particularly bad to me! Up until I met my wife-to-be, who was a Beautician and very appearance-conscious (too much so!), I bit my nails, sometimes really bad. At 11 or 12, I got a cuticle infection so bad the doc had to lance it open; not a fun experience. My Mother tried everything, even painting my nails with Iodine, ugh, chewed them anyway. At 21, the new lady in my life prevailed; I've never bitten them since! (even with a new wife!) Frank
Um I probably have more than one, but hubby never says much. I do Sigh....use to a lot and that irked him. I stopped now he does it .
@Nancy Hart you must have some annoying habits. Everyone does. Another of mine is leaving tiny hairs in basin after trimming my beard. As they are white I miss some when rinsing the basin. But my hawk eyed wife does not. Nancy is your cat pictured in the pet thread btw?
I finish people's sentences while they are still talking. It's so boring to let someone finish when I know where they are going with it or they already told me that story before. I consider it my way of helping the conversation move along, but I get called on it frequently. I want to stop, but I can't. I even put a ink SU on my hand for 'shut up' in order to remind myself, but the butting in continues.
@Bess Barber You reminded me here of my good friend and co-worker of long ago, Dick Daley, whose position required that he meet with numerous mouthy salesmen. In his middle desk drawer, Dick kept a special rubber stamp he had made up. When a particularly obnoxious salesman sat across from him, propaganda brochures spread about, talking away at his sales pitch, Dick was known to suddenly pull open his drawer, the act stopping the spiel, reach in, ink the pad, then reach forward and stamp the device clearly on one of the papers: it read, "YOU A$$HOLE!) !! This invariably resulted in termination of the talk! Frank
@Frank Sanoica I'm sure there are plenty of people who have wanted to use that stamp on me from time to time.
@Bess Barber Ahh, yes, some of us often came away from meetings with black smudges on our foreheads, as Dick's stamp worked there also quite effectively! Frank
