Everybody has some personal habits that she or he would like to get rid of, and I am no exception. Eating too much is my number one bad habit. This is a difficult habit to break, and as a result, I am always on a diet. Twirling my hair is another bad habit. Whenever I am nervous or uncomfortable, I fall back into this childhood pattern. Whenever I am exhausted, I have the terrible habit of talking too much and saying foolish things. This habit is something I always regret the next day.
Other people have habits that I don’t like either. Students who click their ballpoint pens in class drive me up a wall. People who don’t move to the rear of a bus and who block the doors are one of my pet peeves. People who don’t put the cap back on a tube of toothpaste are another source of irritation. I find this habit very annoying. Unfortunately, we all do things unconsciously that bother other people, but nobody is perfect.
