OT: Your real bad habits

[Bill D.]

I was wondering if any of you have any bad habit you are nearly
ashamed to admit. Something you do or like that is might be actually
embarrassing. The sort of embarrassment that Bruce might actually
expect you to feel about your smoking.

Mine, well, I really like 80's pop music. I can't help it.

In fact, listening to this while at work made me think to ask if
anyone else does something similar.

Happy puffing,
Bill D.

Bad habits don't cause cancer.

And, no, smoking is not a habit.

It's an addiction.

It causes cancer.

Gosh, Bruce, I did not know this. I'll be sure and quit smoking now.

I truly thought smoking was just a bad habit. I had no idea it caused
cancer.

Sunshine causes cancer too.

Bruce's bad habit is posting on our otherwise very nice forum.

While generally I enjoy such wonderful literature as the old man and
the sea, tolkien's works, jack london, and modern stuff like stephen
king, john grisham, or robert ludlam, I have been known, in a pinch,
to take a peek at my wife's trashy romance. Not a habit, but
embarrassing.

Oh my Zod, an another Jim Steinman rock-anthem. This was from the film
Footloose, right?

I'm ashamed to admit that sometimes when am pathetic, I stroll down the
80s memory lane, too - by listening to music that normally would make me
cringe. Services like Spotify and Grooveshark are great enablers.

Here's another great (for me) 80s tune:

Oh, another bad habit of mine is to search & destroy anti-smoking
trolls. Funding from the F.L.A.G. has been a huge help. Thanks!

I sometime hum commercial jingles from the '60s, though I maintain
enough awareness of how weird I sound that I don't do so in public.
Heh. <embarrassed grin>

most fundamental freedoms, and the power of the federal government to
impose novel requirements in every facet of our personal lives will have

I sometimes break into tunes from the 40's and 50's, even at work. I get strange
looks, but I figure I need to practice so I'll be ready for the nursing home....

Yes it is. A music storehouse of greats. I even have the footloose
soundtrack on vinyl. Saying it was only $0.99 probably doesn't excuse
me.

But Pat Benatar's album on vinyl is a must have. I paid like2 bucks
for that one. Love is a battlefield....... don't forget that.

I pick my nose when I think no one is looking. Never eat it though.
Just flick it away.

Lots of bad habits here but I can't think of any good habits I have.
