Hmm...I have plenty of bad habits, that is for sure. I could list multiple habits, but for the sake of not pointing out all of my flaws and also so I don't write a book of bad habits, I think I will stick to one :)
A habit I have had for MANY years, as long as I can remember is biting my nails. I must say, I am better then I use to be, but believe me, I am still really bad about it. I get nervous and I bite, I get angry and bite bored/bite, frustrated/bite...the list goes on.
Because I work at a desk all day I find that when I get caught up in something I start picking and biting at my nails...whats bad is not only do I pick my finger nails but I pick my toe nails too (gross right?...and at work...sick!) but I do it! I will pick and bit my finger nails until its flesh and there is nothing left to pick. And once I start, I can't stop, like pringles. I go down the line chewing on one nail after the next.
Every once in awhile I will have a calm, smooth period of life and my nails will start to grow, but as soon as things pick up the nails disappear before you know it.
The worst time though, so I have learned, is when I drive. Parking in this city is a bitch (bad habit #2 swearing too much). I hardly drive anymore but must move my car once a week to a new spot and finding that new spot can sometimes take over an hour. It is AWFUL and miserable and I get so antsy, and upset that the nails are chewed away.
Maybe I chew gum so much to refrain from the biting of the nails...hmm...never actually thought about that, but there is something about feeling so much better to gnaw down on something. Wow, have a I grossed ya'all out? that is sick huh? I suppose that is why Biting my nails would have to be a habit I wish I didn't have but doubt it will ever change.
