Bad Habits

[wartjr2373]

Another is that I clean out my ears with my car keys instead of a Q-tip. Q-tips make my inner ear itchy, and are too soft to effectively scratch an itch, so I use a key. I know that one day I'm going to damage my ear, but I can't help it.

Thats also a good way to get an ear infection.

Yeah...

[SprintToTheFinish]

That just sounds dangerous right there.

Well, the topic title is Bad Habits, after all. And it's not that dangerous. If your careful, the worst that could happen is an ear infection, which are easily killed with ear drops and/or antibiotics.

And I may have over-embellished a tad. I didn't do it very frequently before, and I haven't done it for a while, so the habit may soon be broken.

It's mostly an obsessive thing. Once I discover I have wax in my ears, it's difficult to ignore. But I'm getting better!

[SprintToTheFinish]

Fair enough. I can't say I've heard of something quite like this before, though. I'm glad that it's getting better, though, ear infections aren't any fun.

i can focus on what someone is saying, or i can focus on not fidgeting. choose one.

Man, fidgeting is the bane of my life, especially in bed. I roll and move about (yes Im sure you can make some sexual puns there) but Ive learned that girls get pissed the fuck off by my flipping and turning.

On average, it takes me almost an hour (if not longer) to fall asleep one I get into bed. The only way around this that I've found so far is to stay up for 42 hours straight, which just isn't tenable on a regular basis. So yeah, plenty o' tossing and turning here too.

Also, a comma after "Man" would have REALLY clarified your sentence. As it stands it sounds like you're talking about engaging in a friendly round of fisticuffs with a one-eyed wriggling Welshman being the bane of your life. Possibly not your one-eyed wriggling Welshman, if you know what I mean .

Done and man I thought I'd covered myself with the whole "yes Im sure you can make some sexual puns there" thing but yeah that was some genuine awesome ways to call me a masturbating guy. To be fair I am a masturbating crazy man but thats besides the point.

Also referring to my dick as a Welshman, one eyed or not, wierds me the hell out considering I'm English.

But yeah onto the point. I read something saying that it takes on average 7 minutes to fall asleep. It takes me easily half an hour at least! My way around is getting crazy drunk.

But nice to know Im not the only who messes about in bed (go wild on that one).

"one-eyed wriggling Welshman" is perhaps my favorite phrase ever.

I prefer "purple veined hardcore warrior"

I just realized that I've been absentmindedly biting my tongue. Now my tongue hurts.

Edit - You'd think that I'd stop biting after I realized this. Apparently not.

I do the exact same thing and it doesn't stop once I've fallen asleep. Its been so bad that the beds they used in my dorm used to literally fall apart after I slept in it for a few weeks.

Also I only roll over in one direction...

[Annchan]

I bite my nails all the way until my fingers hurt.

That's all I can think of right now.

Was pointed out to me I'm also randomly destructive. I break small things and destroy napkins and empty cans when not otherwise occupied.

I'm pretty sure you can get a job doing that, actually.

[Elomin Sha]

Worst habit ever.

Not sure about you but I don't think Pirate Nuns work.

New bad habit! Whip Cream in a can, plus spoon! Better than straight into the mouth, as you can restrict the amount in each spoonful, making the experience last longer!!

Not gonna make me any healthier though, despite what I keep telling myself about how its 'low fat'... ^^'

[Theremin]

'Back in the bad habit' sound like it could be a Lady Gaga/Madonna duet.

Hmm...trademarked!

[Ottoman]

Usually my body is pretty inert. I crack my knuckles, but that's not really a bad habit in my opinion.

When I have an earworm, which is almost all the time, I tap out the rhythm with my fingers. That can actually get pretty involved; I use multiple fingers for different parts of the set, or for bass vs. melody lines, and so on. Sometimes my feet decide to join in. It occurs to me that I might have made a good set player. . . but anyway, i tend to do all of that either quietly or when I'm alone, so it's not so bad.

Does eating food with lots of meat fried in butter and lacking in vegetables count as a habit? Though even then I think the 'bad' is debatable. HAAAH!
