Bad Habits

[Manc]

I spend more time in my nose than I should and gamble to frequently.

What are yours?

[Bob Sacamano]

Biting nails, when you see other people do it it looks fucking rancid, I can't stop myself though :sick:

I've thankfully managed to knock a pretty bad gambling problem on the head,

[Magic]

Scratching and sniffing. Like this, maybe not on a loaded train though:

[randomlegend]

I bite my nails. Only to a relatively civilised length though, not like my brother who chews the whole fucking nail off and then starts on his fingers.

[Byron]

I bite my nails, but more to Randrew's brother levels.

[Boydy]

Another nail-biter here. For only to a sensible length, like RL though. I also pick my nose (who doesn't? It seriously needs it after a while) but I don't do that it in public.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I used to be a nail biter but I decided to stop a couple of years ago.

I still occasionally bite the skin near my nails though or just pick at it with a nail.

[Magic]

I also suffer from mild Trichotillomania, I fucking love pulling my hair out and inspecting the nuances of the way the hair curls. I'm a freak.

[Disco]

Pulling beard hair out is weirdly satisfying, especially if you find one of those mutant thick ones.

[Benny]

Yeah I'm with you on that, I often sit twiddling the hairs hoping to find one that's kind of painful and gives me an excuse to pull it out. I get a rogue black hair that grows on my arm near the shoulder, quite enjoy using tweezers to pull it out once it's grown back again.

[Lewis]

Nail-biting. :cool:

[Baz]

Lorra scruffs in here.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Nose picking for sure. Can't beat a pick and flick in the car.

[Pepe]

My worst habit is spending way too much time in here.

[Magic]

Let's hope you break that habit real soon.

:yn:

[Mike]

I crack my fingers and knuckles.

[Pepe]

I do that too. Is it bad?

[Magic]

Come 2050 the arthritis should be so crippling you can't type anymore.

Holy shit. :drool:

[Pepe]

By then I'll have one of those things you talk to and it types for you.

[Magic]

'Aha! One day you'll regret this Magic'
'Aha! Juan day you'll regret these, Majeeck'

[randomlegend]

There is absolutely no evidence to suggest knuckle-cracking causes arthritis.

You believe all the made-up shit, Magic.

[Magic]

There is absolutely no evidence to suggest knuckle-cracking causes arthritis.

You believe all the made-up shit, Magic.

Oh look it's Dr Sarah Jarvis again.

[randomlegend]

I don't know who that is.

[Magic]

Oh look it's Dr Fox again.

[randomlegend]

That weird bloke from Pop Idol?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

There is absolutely no evidence to suggest knuckle-cracking causes arthritis.

You believe all the made-up shit, Magic.

There's actually evidence to prove that it's false.

Ig Nobels :cool:

[randomlegend]

Yeah, there's been a few 'proper' studies done as well.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah, there's been a few 'proper' studies done as well.

Yes but that one is quite fun, some kid basically saying 'fuck you Mum, you're wrong and I'll prove it'.

[John]

While wearing a brassiere over his mouth, Professor of Physics Wolfgang Ketterle, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001

Eccentric.

[randomlegend]

Oh of course. It is, to coin a phrase, quite excellent.

[Lewis]

I can crack (from bottom up) toes, ankles, sometimes knees, fingers, wrists, one elbow, and my neck.

[Benny]

I have a toe I can click on demand, if we're bragging.

[randomlegend]

I can click my penis, hands free.

[Magic]

The only bone structure worth cracking is the back. :drool:

Also when the arm locks. :sick:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My left thumb can be constantly clicked.

There must be something wrong with it.

[Baz]

My knees click if I crouch down. I was worried this would lead to bad things, but this thread has assured me it means nothing. Thanks TTH.

What? What is that even trying to achieve?

You'll all be surprised to know that I was big nose-picker as a kid and I still indulge myself from time to time. No idea what compels me (or anyone else) to do it. Like a fetish almost.

[phonics]

I manage to get myself into financial shit every couple of months. I can't keep money. I'm not sure I'm going to recover from this one. I'm going to end up losing friends, family or both.

[Spoonsky]

What have you done that you can't recover from?

[phonics]

Borrowed money and lied too many times.

[leedsrevolution]

Sounds dramatic. Needs a thread.

[phonics]

No thanks.

[Magic]

Thank fuck we didn't donate.

[leedsrevolution]

In all seriousness Phonics feel free to pm me if you need anyone to have a look over your finances/situation. Not a miracle worker mind but I'm a qualified advisor.

[Boydy]

I'm fucking terrible with money too.

Although I mostly put it down to having never earned enough at any point to save anything.

[Pepe]

I've heard that scam before.

[leedsrevolution]

I've heard that scam before.

I'm a scam? I'd much rather he didn't fucking pm me in all honesty but always prepared to help a bro out.

[phonics]

After a mini panic attack involving much crying and wretching over.

A financial advisor won't help this situation. Not unless I can magic about 2 thousand pounds out my pocket in the next week. And I signed a years lease for an appartment I cant really afford and will only will I be able to barely afford it until March. That I can't break or I'm fucking over my best mate who's supported me for a long time. Why? I don't know why. Because I'm a fucking idiot is my best guess so far.

I genuinely think about throwing myself off a bridge in that, yeah but I'd never actually do it or want to do it sort of way, far too often at the moment.

[Spoonsky]

I reckon I'll have trouble saving money, my parents just give me money when I need it so it's never really been a concern of mine. I like to think of myself as frugal, and I probably could be if I had to be, but really it's not true.

How have you no idea what makes anyone do it? Crap builds up in there so picking it out (especially the crusty ones you can't really blow out) to clear your nose feels good.

[Manc]

Pull it together, phonics. Throwing yourself off a bridge for two grand is ridiculous.

[phonics]

Duh, I'd never do it, just something comes up in the back of my head like a nervous tick any time I think about this stuff.

Well one small piece of advise is don't bury your head in the sand. When it comes to money that is literally the worst thing to do.
