Most Disgusting Personal Habits

[the_Baron]

i'm gonna say that nose picking is the worst.

[The Sean Man]

I agree....and that would include loud nose-blowers.

[the_Baron]

i think burping would be next.

[Moses25]

I used to loudly honk my nose halfway through dinner when I was younger, much to my parents chagrin...

I like it when people throw up their arms in exasperation/resignation when they find themselves in my company. :)

Mo knows bizzgusting.

Cheers.:D

P.M.S. Baron is bizzgusting. Beat you to it. :p

Not much offends me. Picking your nose, belching, farting, blowing your nose loudly, etc...they are all just bodily functions that most people do or have done at some point.

However, picking your nose and then placing the fished out contents in your mouth will get you a real low score in my book.

Chewing food with your mouth open's usually a spur to my gag reflex...
I work with car mechanics. They burp, they fart, they scratch their asses, they say the 'F' word every third word in every sentence. So, the usual stuff doesn't faze me.

Mimi Ewwwwww!! Do you find, as an adult, that you are still in the company of people who do this, Mims?? :wow:

(looking at Laz very closely)

lol.:p

Cheers.:D

[Mimi]

Yes, Moses. My 4 children. AND their friends. :p

If I saw an adult doing this in my presence, they would not be in my presence any longer..lol

We have found, however, that the same spritzer bottle of water we use to train the cats works well for breaking children from disgusting habits as well. More than once I have seen Lazarus nail one of the kids blindside upside the head with the spritzer, along with a bellowed "STOP PICKING YOUR NOSE!" Trust me, once we pry them off the ceiling, they are hesitant to do it again. :D

Mimi

[Moses25]

You...have...4...kids??

My hat is tipped, ma'am...

Next time it happens tho, try throwing up your arms in exasperation as well - it works wonders for the soul. :)

And please tell Laz that he's allowed to pick on me as well. No sense in a one-sided "smackdown". ;)

Cheers, you two. :D

I absolutely hate the sound of people chewing with their mouths open or smacking gum. Specially when they're right next to your friggin' ear standing in a line or something. I feel like I'm about to turn into the incredible hulkette. Mine are really mostly auditory. My other big pet peeve of personal habits is snoring. It's awful, and it's not their fault. But it drives me bonkers. I was rather sick for a while, and last week I finally had my tonsils and adenoids out (the biggest the doctor had EVER seen. He actually said, "I'm completely serious. I don't know how to explain how you've been breathing at all.") and I pried out of my roomate that the couple weeks before I finally got fixed that I'D been snoring. I knew it! It kills me. Because I know how much I hate it. And it's not my fault, but I still felt like a big fat hypocrite. Mwah!

I think spitting is right up there with everything else. It just shows a comnplete lack of class. Also chewing tobacco (which necessitates the need to spit).

[QtipSoftness120]

Chewing with your mouth wide open so you can see whatever you ate as it's all chewed up and nasty gross!

But other then that thats all i can think of just like everybody else mentioned burping farting etc... that stuff doesn't bother me any. i find it funny infact

[WraithTickler]

By and far the worst of the lot is smoking. It stiinks, irritates allergies, hits a wider area than anything but the worst of flatulence, and leaves more tangible evidence than spitting with discarded butts on the ground.

[the_Baron]

i also hate nail biting. grab a file!

Yeah mine is definitly the eating of said boogers.
Digging them out is OK, but digesting them just gets to me.

[TicklishSinner]

cursing isnt bad, but like Knxie said when the F word is every 3 words that just gets irritating, and i dont mind smokers as long as they arent blowing it my face!

[natural tickler]

When someone is eating, having the fork scrape against your teeth. That sound is irritating!!!


Also for the ladies: walking and not picking up your feet, and that scraping noise it makes. Damn, that's lazy!!!!

[Ticklebell]

Oh God, the fork scraping! It's awful! And it's very bad etiquette. My mother, who taught me everything about table manners, has started doing that, and it drives me crazy. Well really, she sort of CHOMPS on the fork more than scrapes. Nevertheless, my crazily sensitive ears are in agony.

[the_Baron]

how about people who eat everything with their hands. why bother with utensils at all?

[Flatfoot]

I'm not too bothered by the human bodily functions, like burping, busting ass, snorting, etc. I view these as completely natural, and that God put them there for a reason.

As far as smoking, I used to hate being around people who smoke, since my mother is a chainsmoker and has smoked 2 to 3 packs a day my entire lifespan. The smell always used to drive me nuts, since no amount of washing would get rid of it. Now, I myself am a smoker (not influenced by my mother, but it's a habit I picked up after spending months aboard a ship answering to a maintenance chief who was one of those people that's a "solution looking for a problem". It helped me to relax a few minutes out of every day.) I still don't like being around a lot of cigarette smoke, and when I smoke, I'm outdoors and very conscious of where I ash and deposit my butts (Back in the days before I was a Sergeant I had to "police call" the parking lot of any cigarette butts, and always resented the inconsiderate smokers who dropped their butts on the deck, so I don't want to subject my Marines to the same BS that I went through.). I smoke, but the smokers that bother me are the ones who don't pay attention to their cigarette while they smoke it, allowing the ash to grow so long it falls on the floor, or smoke outdoors in the wind, ignorant of whose clothes their ashes blow onto. This may be a bit obsessive-compulsive, but it bothers me when people don't pay attention to what they do.

Other than that, the biggest bad habit that bugs the living daylights out of me is loud, audible whining.

I have to disagree there ....I personally think getting or giving an enema is pretty gross! And how bout those who grab thier testicles? :p

[Lazarus]

My ex-wife used to bite her toenails....

Beat that....

[kis123]

My son has a habit of drooling when he sleeps. Sometimes, if he's startled, he'll take a big "slurp" and swallow it back just as it's about to fall on him or hit the floor. I simply find that just vile.

I agree with both of these. My daughter does the spoon/fork thing even with plastic utensils. It's enough to make you want to kill her! As far as the foot dragging thing is concerned, the boys do it too as well as the girls. I have one of each.

Makes me wonder sometimes if they were raised by me or by wolves!?;)

It appears that cussing has become such a natural part of expressing yourself in this day and age, sorry to say. I'll tell you where it's bad, my office. You don't ned a group of blue collar workers to cuss up a storm. My office is all college educated and beyond professionals. The cussing doesn't bother me but what I find is when I cuss I get more angry, which makes it harder to deal with people whether it be internally or outside the office.

What we did to TRY to defuse the cursing is we started a swear jar. Anytime one cusses, we have to drop a quarter in the jar. If you say the F word, you have to drop a dollar. When we save up enough $$, we go out and have a party. If we had to drop money in over the past year for cursing, I would have had my childrens college education paid for. A win win if you ask me.

Being a smoker, I really can't complain about smoking too much b/c it would seem hypocritical, but one thing that I hate is when people smoke around me when I am eating

[the_Baron]

bratty, these "inside" jokes (pun very much intended) are quite amusing.

now, lets see - baseball players do grab their goodies on a regular basis. so we can classify that as habitual.

and while enema giving/taking is clearly unsightly, if its habitual - well, then we're talking fetish!


gotta run. its time for my 10:00 am flusing. smooth and sudsy.

*grabs genitals and dashes off*

you and me, both! my former friend bunny used to whine alot. She probably still does but I'm never around her. So, it doesn't bother me anymore.

"Want some cheese with that whine?" :D
