Ok so for once let's not rant about the annoying habits our partner or family members have, let's face up to what We do tongue.gif

We all have them, some of us a few more than others tongue.gif

Be brave and speak up boys and girls biggrin.gif

I'll go first - uhm sometimes, ok ok Most times when Rush is trying to get some work done in the evenings I start yapping away and inevitably distracts him to the point where I go 'You know you might as well come sit here with me and not behind the pc' tongue.gif That's when he realises that I done it again sad.gif it's not on purpose though whistling.gif

Next one - I know I'm very easily excitable, and sometimes Only Sometimes when I tell people about something my voice goes all high and squeeky and I speak so fast that I sometimes end up mixing languages and words up all funny
sad.gif

I'm trying to calm it down a notch mmkay? tongue.gif

Who's Next?

I am selfish, emotionally instable, careless, rude to most people (in real life), I tend to freak out in big crowds of people I do not know resulting in me getting rude to my friends and girlfriends (mostly her). Yeah that is about it, personality disorders. Don't know if you can put them under habits...
W@RP@T}{
I smoke too much, and when I get some new sound or comp stuff I tend to ignore the wife a little, also if I get started with something like re-routing my cabling for my Home theater or rerouting the cables in my comp I get pissed off when the wife constantly talks to me about the zoo or people at work etc. when i'm busy i'm busy.
FruitLoop
whooo ... that reminds me ... when im playing games i zone out and often end up compleeetely ignoring my bf without even realising it

Oh man.

I chew my nail varnish off. Sometimes I choke on it, sometimes I spit it out in a "ladylike manner". It really grates DocterMoo - I don't know why I paint them because I chew it off that day, but I suppose it's easier and cheaper than nail varnish remover.

I am always craving/asking for attention.

DocterMoo will be watching a show or playing a game, I don't realise that I never shut up until I realise he isn't answering me anymore.

OMG, I am like obsessive compulsive or something (not full-blown), but let me explain: If I'm driving in the car for example, and I see a big sign, saying "Got Milk?" for example. Then in my head, I see a keyboard, and I type out each letter, and slightly tap my fingers. So I'll hold down the Ctrl and press B, then hold down shift press G, press o, etc. etc. It's so annoying, and I can't stop myself - it happens with everything and anything.

Also if I'm bored, but once again sometimes I can't help it, I will look at something, eg. a person sitting on my left. In my mind, I separate every colour on that person. Once I've seen that colour it "disappears". So for example, this girl is sitting on a grey chair, I then cancel the grey out, and stop 'seeing' it, then ill look at her top and it's baby blue, then I cancel that out. Anything else that's baby blue will also disappear etc. etc.
I dunno if I'm obsessive compulsive - I doubt it, I might be a bit autistic, but I'm not sure. It just bugs me sometimes.
But at least it gives me something to do.

I'm very loud, but very shy around people I don't know.

I walk "like an elephant" as my mom and DocterMoo say. I stomp around, and I don't envy the flat below us.

I always have to be right.

I'm very stubborn.

I won't bore you any longer - the list would never end. ermm.gif

e.g-> drv102gp = driving. it really bugs me.

I take an fhm to the loo and leave my girlfriend upstairs and I go for a good read.

I think it annoys her though.

I have the same problem, I am totally symetrical if I walk in a shop I make sure that I step in the blocks and not on the lines inbetween the blocks (becomes a pain if I mistime a block and nearly hit the line. also if i'm standing looking in a mirror I have to make sure I am on either side of a line etc.

I also count distance markers on the side of the highway every 100M there is a distance marker (I make note of the missing ones) I drive 150KM a day so I count about 900 odd distance markers every day.

I'm screwed crying.gif

No, I'm libran actually. sad.gif

It is so annoying. Arrrgh, and as much as I want to stop, I just can't.

Oh one other thing, I'm a hypochondriac. eg, I found a bump on my chin and insisted it was cancer. I seem to really aggrivate the people I live with when I do this. But it's fun, and I like it when people feel sorry for me. biggrin.gif

All are signs of obsessive compulsiveness and I do them all or variants of them.

Everyone is obsessive compulsive to a point. Ever opened the fridge, not see anything you want to eat then close the fridge then open it again in case you missed something ? well thats obsessive behaviour

Its not bad really, in small amounts

Hiccupsie makes me laugh, yeah she yaps away when I am trying to work and me not wanting to be rude, I stop and wait for her to finish yapping before I carry on working, but as I bend over my pc, she starts yappin' again and a whole evening goes by I dont get any work done and she moans coz I was at the pc the whole night. wtf? o.O
But I love her enthusiasm and energy, she is the cutest thing ever.
Guess thats why I love her.

oh yeah she does have this cute squeeky voice when she gets excited but thats because she sounds like Sarah Brightman when she sings, I heard a cd that she recorded in std 9 and the one song she has a solo bit that brought tears to my eyes just listening to it. she has an absolutely amazing voice.

( anyone want me to rip an mp3 and upload it? tongue.gif )


I do something that bugs her,

I cant stay in bed, I am not the type to wake up and then just lay in bed so when I wake up I shoot out of bed and go sit down at my pc to go write something down, normally an idea that sprouted during the night or something ( my head is full of ideas forming ) and this behaviour annoys hiccupsie greatly cos she wants me to stay in bed and cuddle and I want to work. Sorry baby dry.gif I'm not teh perfect smile.gif

OMG YAR I DO THE SAME!!! Zebra crossings = evil.gif - I have to step on the white. Also, in a shopping mall, I can only walk on the tiles with the same colours. If they're all one colour, I have to have each foot in one, or each foot in every two tiles (depending on the size).

I used to count trees along the side of the road as well.

hey, at least im not alone. renske.gif
Paul
oh yeah, I also play tetris in my head

with anything and everything, clothes, walls, peices of wood, computer parts, desks, plants

I find spaces for them everywhere around me, everwhere I look theres a spot to fit something else.

Someone once told me that its the way my mind wants to operate
It wants to be mathematical but because I never allowed it to, it does it on its own ( I hated maths so much in school I nearly failed lower grade matric maths ) so now my brain is churning out mathematical problems in retaliation tongue.gif

I used to make words from numberplates, count road markers, and make sure that I step in the blocks and not on the lines inbetween the blocks before i started working too,but since then i never have time for crap like that anymore, something i still do tough is aviod mirrors, dont kno why really.
toasted
Mrhaha, I've thought of more.

I am always chewing the inside of my cheeks.

I'm extremely organised - I have to make a list for everything. Everything always has to be 100% planned, which I love doing, but it seems to annoy alot of people. Me and my lists can't be separated.

When I play the piano and I make a mistake, I have a tendency to smash my hands down on the keys in a mini tantrum. I should learn not to do this, cos, what happens if i'm playing in a big concert or for lots of people and i make a mistake and do that. not very professional.

Another bad habit is thinking I know what someone is thinking. I tend to think of myself as something of a psychologist - I've found that I'm very good at analysing someone, and naming everything that they are thinking, but don't want me to be thinking. I just watch people's reactions and the way they talk, but apparently I'm not always right. I kinda make DocterMoo angry if we're having an argument and I come with my "Psycho-analysis bull" as he calls it. teehee.gif

Ah man this is so crap, I can't stop thinking of all my bad habits. Mrhahah, but at least some of you have made me feel more normal out of this. renske.gif

The thing I do which irritates me the most is that when I am writing, my 5 and S look pretty much identical. I also recently started trying to form a habit of using a decimal point instead of a decimal comma, and tried to start crossing my 7's to eliminate ambiguity in my writing.
HowlinMadMurdoc
I plan everything in advance. usually my whole week, including social/work/friends/everything is planned a week ahead. when im going out i make sure i am there early, i know how to get there and have directions etc. i plan and estimate journey times between each stage of the journey to get there (like how long on this tube line and then how long on the next one)

it irritates some of my friends sometimes who have a more "go with the flow" attitude.

what irritates me though is that i will arrive somewhere 30mins early and the person im meeting will arrive 30mins late. and its usually the females that are guilty of this!
capn
That's not an annoying habit. That's just called being organised. I also tend to plan everything way ahead of time.
blood105
forgive me if i mistake this for introspection

sometimes i look for a sweet or something and i'll open and close the same cupboards over and over :(

i have this annoying habit of being extremely flippant and rude, in that i'll make jokes sometimes out of serious things without actually realising it... like for instance this girl's grandfather died a week back, she told me one day that she had a headache, so i told her,"pity you dont have a grandpa"
:(

i use make excessive use of :( :(

i have this annoying habit of saying "yeah i know" when people tell me things i actually didnt have a clue about :(

I know someone whose father shot himself in the head... the family was sitting around the table one day talking about him and then my friend asked..."I wonder what the lat thing through his head was?" apparently everyone saw the humour in it.

Cyfer you would be the first to remember some of my moments tongue.gif remember Jean at the Ice rink? lol
cyfermaster
LOL - yeah. You often stick your foot in it... "and what did your dad say?" LOL that was classic...
BlackRazor
Annoying habit...constantly touching your croth area like all bundy. Oh wait this is about what other people have right? Ok...what about taking a dump and leaving the door open instead of the window...I could kill my coworker.
cyfermaster
No... it is about your own irritating habits... tongue.gif

black what's that saying? like father like son no?
hiccupsie
I over react when my father undermines my position at work ermm.gif

I hate when that happens sad.gif
Ka0z
Hahaha it's so cool to see that LOTS of people share my bad habits!

Anyway, I also do the "I know" thing, but only when I provoke a really deep/interesting/attention-hogging conversation. For instance:

When this person is yakking away, full of energy because I know something that he/she knows, I always think of how stupid I was to start the conversation because I am NOT in the mood of talking with him/her.
So I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS recite one of these 3 responses, depending on the accent the question the person asked me ended on.
1) "Whoa."
2) "Hahaha do you REALLY think so?" <- Another provocation but I always do it :~(((((
3) "Yeah, same."

Yar.

And toasted OMGO@#!!11 I also do that "reading people" thing.
Like when someone totally unknown talks to me, I always figure out which conversation to go with. I would like look at the way they walk up to me or act with their friends and then talk about certain stuff and do certain things.

Most of the time it is korrek, but sometimes I fail it :~(

Before I go to bed, I always think about the day's situations and think about stuff that I COULD have done to get more out of the situation.

I sometimes walk up to people and talk shit to them out of the blue, which is really irritating because after like 2 sentences I figure out I don't really want to talk to the person and then I can't find a way to tell the person I want to leave AND YOU ARE BORING.

I mimick nasty/rude/ugly people to get on their nerves.

I LOVE to get on people's nerves that I don't like. It's awesome, because I succeed at it 100% of the time. biggrin.gif:D:D


Lots more... biggrin.gif:D:D:D

EDIT: Oh yeah, I hyperbolize EVERYTHING for comical reasons.
Gitano
Blood105: thats me exactly as well. Its funny as long as people understand your humour. I have problems taking the piss out of people who dont know me, then they get angry, but my friends are used to it.

annoying habits: wen people start annoying me , i repeat every word they say exactly like they said it...

my mom gets annoyed when i drive too fast...

when i want to annoy my sister, i come into her room and if she's studying.. i'll turn around all her papers and turn her pillows the other way... she hates it but at least gets a laugh out of her... or i call her and when she answers... i say: nothing...

what else?... hmm... when i'm too lazy to stand up from under my blanket when watching tv... i send someone in the house an sms so that they can fetch the remote... he he he... i love that one..

and when people give me missed calls... i sms them one word: why?....

obsessive things i do: when i look at things... in my mind.. i zoom in on it... weird but i do it automatically....
i have an obsession with playstation 2... once i start.. i cant stop... especially with need for speed.. i just cant stop....
on a weekly basis, i take my car out... for a clean and a drive... and you know.. just to spend some quality time alone with my baby....

those are the only things i can think of. however, i'm sure my family, friends and bf can remember much more!
