Embarassing personal habits

[michel]

I was just posting to a thread (I already have forgotten which one, and am too lazy to 'go back') - in which I mentioned about 'talking to myself'.

I have two really embarassing habits; 1) I often forget to do up the zip on my trousers, and, with luck, the familly notice before I go out.
2) I talk to myself, and also sing 'silently' when out; I see people looking at me a bit oddly - well, I can't blame them, and then I sing out loud to show I'm not muttering insane profanities, or worse!

Any one else have emvbarassing 'public' traits ?

I have a really bad habit of biting my nails and picking at my cuticles until they bleed. Which can be embarassing when you randomly start bleeding in public.

I have a habit of scratching my nose when I'm nervous, and then I get all embarassed when someone notices, because I'm worried they think I was picking it!

I talk to myself too! I just think aloud. Whenever I go to the grocery, I always mumble things like, "Hmm, where's the bread? I'm gonna need some bread. I like bread. Bread, bread bread." Of course I find it hilarious when people notice.

The trick to that is when you are lifting the nail the moment you feel that tinge of pain, you will have to stop pulling the nail across and perform the bite from a different angle and cut it off. Your nail with look funny but you won't break the skin and you won't have to bear the days of pain while the cuticle is growing back. The same with the skin on my fingers. Being an avid video gamer and guitarist my fingers will callous and eventually that tough skin becomes good eating. Some days I can get three square meals out of those babys. The same rule applies with chewing the skin of the fingers. Remember, "when you feel the pain you must refrain".

I have none.

I pee in my wetsuit.

Of course, that might be "TMI" for a few people.

 

[Green Gaia]

I thought you were supposed to pee in the wetsuit?

Another talk-to-myself-er here, I think maybe since I work alone on a computer all day I have had to find a way to entertain myself and it has trickled into my other life. What's worse is I babble, sometimes stutter and I talk fast.

 

[michel]

Ah, the talk fast one; yes, I do that at home, or rather sing fast, replacing lyrics with total gibberish. It's a subconscious 'divertion' technique when I'm overdoing it, and am in pain, but am determined to finish doing whatever it is I was doing. At the end, I am suddenly overcome by total exhaustion, and once the adrenaline stops going, the pain hits me like an express train!:jiggy:

I talk to myself as well sometimes...and i'm a nose picker when no one's looking...

 

[No*s]

I also have a tendency to pick my nose, I talk to myself, and I twiddle a stick and pace while doing it (looks like I'm talking to the stick lol)

 

[Lycan]

provided there is no nose to mouth finger action (ewwww), nose picking should be a sancitioned sport, my grandma's pinky used to just disappear, she would put anyone to shame.

 

[Lycan]

That was so discusting, I am so ashamed...

sorry for last post....

I talk to myself too but am not embarrassed by it. If people ask me if I am talking to myself I tend to politely (as a joke of course) ask them not to interrupt me when I am talking to myself.

I am not a very sharp dresser with wrinkled clothes and unmatched tops bottoms

i spill food on my shirts more often than i would like to admitt

i grew up punching guys in the shoulder (and vice versa) and now cannot break the habit except now since being in the martial arts a while my hand speed is much faster and i scare the bageebees out of somebody at least once a month while popping them in the shoulder.

i eat too quickly in public

i am kinda a stickler for detail when it comes to sentence stucture and vocabulary and tend to correct co-workers more often than i wish i did on their sentence structure and word choice. (unless of course they are talking to themselves and than i dutifully do not butt into a converstation i do not belong too(kidding))

My whole life is an embarrassment. My friends say they can't take me anywhere.

I understand these. I'm a terrible dresser. If I have the choice, I'll wear loose holey jeans (with a belt lol) or sweats with a four year-old t-shirt (I have older ones ). I tend to look like a mess at any given time.

I eat really slow. If I'm eating in public, with people, it's always best to set aside an hour and a half for my subway sandwich. I'll spend too much time talking, and consequently, embarassing.

Another for me that I hadn't mentioned, but similar to your punching, is I like to jovially rib people, and it gets on some peoples' nerves. I don't even think about it till it's done lol.

so many...

i pick my nose in public. this tends to embarass others more than it does me.

i'm clumsy. always stumbling or tripping or bumping into something.

i used to have a horrible stutter- people would think i was either crazy or having some kind of seizure. fortunately it's not nearly as bad as it was. the key is breathing and slowing down one's speech.

I really identify with both No* and Rob, and the nose pickers
I am not a very sharp dresser with wrinkled clothes and unmatched tops bottoms- True - I am told, by my wife & sons; the point is, they're all wrong, I'm the one who is right!
i spill food on my shirts more often than i would like to admit- Oh yea -There's a family joke, because my poor old Dad used to do that; every one says 2He's around again" when I do it
i eat too quickly in public and in private
My other problem with clothes is that once I find they have become comfortable, they are worn and no longer look 'nice' (I hate nice) - I then go on wearing the same set of clothes until they literally fall apart. I'm often told tramps look at me with distain.:biglaugh:

I sing a lot. And I'm a terrible singer. Embarrasses my wife more than it embarrasses me, though. That's about it. Just about all I ever wear are jeans and t-shirts or sports jerseys, so I can't dress TOO bad.

I NEVER pick my nose. That's disgusting and you all should be ashamed.

you've only managed to make me prouder of the fact, Riven!
