What are annoying habits of yours?

[Digital Thunder]

I restart sentences when I'm several words into them and repeat phrases mid-sentence to the point that I can't understand what I've said well before I finish speaking. It makes talking to people IRL frustrating and speaking under pressure virtually impossible.

Very late ETA: What makes this especially annoying is that it's an issue until I have to speak about something extremely specific, where I'll instead ramble on indefinitely unless I'm stopped.

 

[MerriedxReldnahc]

I talk to myself to remember what the hell I'm doing or to keep track of steps in a process, drives other people crazy so I'm careful not to do it in their presence. I still say "what the hell was I doing?" and "where the hell is my pen?" at least twice a day.

This annoys me more than anyone else but I'm a terrible skin-picker. I've gotten better in recent years but I'll unconciously pick at my fingers without realizing. It gets really bad if I'm nervous or stressed about something. I had a shitty class a few years back that stressed me so much I had to put band-aids on my thumbs so I wouldn't keep destroying them. I just use a skin salve on my fingers each night to help heal them and keep them less dry.

Talking to myself and being too loud without realizing

 

[Mesh Gear Fox]

I say "you know", especially at the end of sentences, way too much. I try to stop myself when I'm around people other than family.

 

[that jerk over there]

I think my most annoying habit is venting to my best friend about the latest exceptional thing a family member did. I can do it for an hour straight until I cool off a bit and say "...well, that's all. Sorry for venting too much."
"No problem", he replies.
A minute or so passes.
And then I say "...but you know what really grinds my gears?" and start venting again about the same shit (just a few minutes, but still...). I'm not proud of this but I'm doing better. And yes, I live with a saint.

 

[NekoRightsActivist]

Spend hours reading old, dead threads of lolcows that no one actually cares anymore. Make me feel like a creepy stalker.

 

[Tahoma]

I crack my knuckles, toes, elbows, knees, hips, neck, back, fingers, ankles, and jaw multiple times a day.

By accident. I'm 22.

I'm not gonna make it.

 

[Immortal Technique]

I have frequent sinus congestion, and I'm always snorting, sniffing, and coughing. I almost came to blows over it at work once.

Sorry DSP, playing video games isn't "work"

 

[Maratus volans]

If I'm standing somewhere for a while, I start to fidget or to rock back and forth slightly. If I catch myself doing it I'll stop, but I start it unconsciously.

 

[Bender]

Existing, if that counts. It certainly seems to annoy everyone around me IRL.

 

[Beluga]

I crack my knuckles, neck, wrists and ankles many times throughout the day.

I've also been biting my nails ever since I can remember but thankfully my nails aren't completely fucked. I managed to stop a couple of times but long nails annoy me so fucking much that I always go back to biting them.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

When I'm dicing onions, picking potatoes, sorting through something or anything else that doesn't require thinking then any active thought processes are replaced by a mental screensaver and I start whistling and humming the Nintendo Wii menu music until the brain is needed again.

 

[Guts Gets Some]

Text: I use 'ly' adverbs, way, way too much. "Honestly" "Seriously", etc, to end or start my sentences, and I don't know why. Or pepper unnecessary verbs "just" "even" and the like. Almost like I need to hammer in the point with those words.

Real life: I routinely make anime arm/hand moves of my favorite characters when bored. Be it Kazuma's slow right fist clench or Guts' left hand canon drop.... yeah. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it, until someone asks "What are you doing?"

 

[Lucifer's Rectum]

I talk to myself while working through more complex/confusing bits of our work system. I also have a really bad habit of humming whatever I'm either listening to or is currently stuck in my head to myself.

 

[Midlife Sperglord]

Smoking way too much weed on weekends. Especially now during the quarantine.

 

[Schauma mal]

I start a lot of my sentences with 'honestly' which makes me sound like a liar.

 

[The Last Stand]

I use the term "baby boomer" too much. I can't keep a schedule.

 

[Count groudon]

Oooo baby do I got a lot of these. Well, I crack my neck a random intervals which really freaks people out, I have a verbal tic where I’ll randomly add “y’know?” at the end of my sentences, I sniff loudly out of the blue for absolutely no fucking reason at all, and due to my footsteps being oddly quiet I have a bad habit of unintentionally sneaking up on people and scaring them by talking to them.

The last one I don’t particularly mind though, it’s kind of funny tbh.

 

[Shitassdeaddude]

I crack my knuckles a lot. I also tend to use "fuckin'" as my silence filler in place of "uh."

I don't know why.

Being an autistic loser causing me to die alone.
