I tend to derail and dominate most conversations I'm in.

I'm have a thing do when I'm bored, I bite the hairs on my hand. I know its weird but, the long ones bother me.

I CAN fold my laundry and be really neat, I've been trained to but, if its just me, It just goes in the drawer or stays on one side of the bed. Dirty stuff goes in its proper place in the closet, unless its gym stuff then, it goes in the washer immediately.

Kitchens are like sanctuaries to me. Sink Abominations (dishes left with pools of swampy food water) make me crazy. The absence of Counter Space makes me crazy. Unnecessary messes make me crazy too. e.g. Macaroni and Cheese for one should not involve 2 pots 3 plates 2 bowls and a half dozen miscellaneous utensils.

Worst habit of others: people who THINK they are "spontaneous" and insist on doing something at the last minute. In a world of pre-bought tickets sold months in advance and events that only happen on certain nights "spontaneous" isn't really an advantage. Especially when it comes from stick in the muds who tend to want to stay home most of the time.

I get mad when people mess with my tools (it's my shop leave everything where it is!!)

I don't like when people share my drink or my food.

things I do:

Pop my joints
Pick up accents incredibly fast that don't go away for a while
Sleep in really cold temperatures

Macaroni and Cheese should not involve a box filled with fake cheese powder.

Ok, I agree, it would be annoying to have someone decide at the last second to go see some major event. However, sometimes it can be fun being spontaneous.

I try my best to be aware enough to know if I'm annoying someone. Plus, I prefer to hang out with people who would tell me if I'm doing something that annoys them. Honesty is good. :)
That said...

Sometimes I like to eat ice after I'm done with what I'm drinking. I know that annoys some. I've been asked to stop before...I try to be more careful with that now.

Sometimes I ask a lot of questions.

I need quiet time to myself. Sometimes I just don't want to talk. I want to be alone...probably more than the average person. Some people don't get this at all.

As to what annoys me....

I'm with you who get annoyed when people talk during movies, etc. I hate that.

It makes me want to pull my hair out when someone says "you know" over and over again while they're talking. Why oh why??

I don't like it when people are late.

Being rude, bad manners, selfishness, etc.

YES!!!! I want EVERYTHNG in the cabinet. I hate stuff sitting out on the counter unless it's in use. It's a lot easier to keep the kitchen clean if there's not a lot of stuff sitting around.

Mac & Cheese is the best food EVER and should only be made with REAL cheese, butter and milk, and baked with crumbled Cheezits on top until slightly browned. :) This only involves one saucepan, one NON-STICK baking pan and a few utensils. :)

This is such a funny thread. Here is what I want to know: Why is it when you start going out with someone, you overlook their quirks (or bad habits), and they do the same for you....then all of the sudden BAM! You annoy each other. I remember when I was dating this guy, all my quirks were "cute" to him, then all the sudden he started criticizing them, then while he was criticizing me, I realized that I liked him less, and his traits were annoying me. Too crazy. I guess it's the newness of it all. But, I don't expect people to change, I see them for who they are (quirks and all) and go from there.

1: I bite and pick at my nails, more so when nervous or upset.
2: I'm naturally loud voiced. Even when I'm TRYING to be quiet people think I'm loud.
3: If i know the song... I'm going to sing it.
4: I can only pay attention for about 5 minutes.
5: What were we talking about again? ... Oh, yeah.
6: I tend to make a mess. I will clean it up at my leisure unless someone beats me to it.
7: I get irate if I wake up sweating cuz someone turned off the AC... you WILL hear my footfalls as I go to turn it back on.
8: I play video-games... do NOT walk in front of me without letting me know before hand. This tends to magnetize you to the object nearest to my hand(generally a couch pillow...duck regardless).
9: I Have a terrible need to correct your spoken/written grammar errors. I occasionally make them for fun, but with a double meaning.
10: I LOVE puns and cannot pass up the opportunity to use one. Some find my sense of humor punishing.
11: I have a compulsion to understand and to know. If I don't understand you will be grilled mercilessly until I am satisfied.
12: I will add to this list as they come to mind and I have the time to add them...

lol... I think this is actually the most brilliant thread on the singles section yet. I'm constantly thinking about this stuff these days. It seems we're trained to focus on looks, quirky conversations, shared values, commonalities, etc. when we first meet someone but if you are going to spend endless time with someone all of these potential habits glossed over in the beginning are so important. If you've ever had room mates or gone hosteling you're probably aware of the wars that break out over the stupidest but most annoying things.

1. I crunch ice.
2. I'm obsessive bout helping people in need. I have picked up strangers walking in the rain, while I had past gf's in the truck...though I am a bit of a professional martial artist and have lived a rough past and don't fear much. My trust is ALWAYS in God. Or I will pull over to help someone with car trouble, even if I'm decked out to the 9's and on my way to a date.
3. Give me the choice of spending a weekend at the beach or in the mountains over going paintballing and it's no brainer: PAINTBALL'n is going to win EVERY time.
4. I make [funny] jokes while watching a movie.
5. If I'm watching a 'scary' movie and I see my gf [into] it pretty deep, I'm going to plot and scheme all the way through it for a way to scare her.
6. I hate to say this in public, but you asked so...I wont do it while others are watching, but give me a 1/2 a step behing my gf and I will pinch her 'b---t' lovingly...especially going upstairs.
7. You do not want to be around me when I am trying to get a job done...I am not a very nice person if I'm interuppted with frivolous chit chat.
8. I hate waste. Whether it be money, food, time, eytc. And I cannot stand for lights to be left on in a room when nobody is in t here; water left running while not being used; or food piled high on a plate and only a portion of it eaten. I [will] say some thing...and if I can't get the point across that it matters not that we can afford to do it or not, then I will raise it to the next level and have a sit down discussion about it.
9. I cannot stand "Stupid", and have no tolerance for it. And I have a tendacy to emabarass whomever I may be with as I am rather bold in my proclamation of such when it presents itself.
10. I am bull headed and will not leave an issue alone until it is resolved. I may let it lay dormant for a few hours or maybe even a few days, but I will address it again when I feel the right time presents itself.
11. I'm not a perfectionist, but believe in doing something to the very best of my ability. And if that means waiting until I get the right equipment or material to do just that; then I will. And I have been accused of being a procrastinator. Which is furthest from the truth.

I have one really terrible habbit, that I have come to learms with.

I bite my fingernails. I know gross right.

Well I have accepted it as part of who I am. I had stopped for a while but started back up again. And now I have an excuse for not stopping.

Because I am an artist, I can't have long nails anyway, they just get in the way of cuting and laying tiles. Also it is really nasy to have paint and grout up under your nails all the time. So if you don't have any then it just solves two problems.

Please do not try to convince me to stop. I have made up my mind and rationalized it, there is no turning back.

I play the viola/fiddle and so understand about short fingernails. Only, I don't have to worry about chewing mine off, since mine come off automatically, cause they are so thin.

I bit my nails when I was a teen. The only way I could break the habit was to keep them polished...made me think twice about messing them up. :) I don't like to let them get too long because I hate that annoying ticking sound long nails make on the computer keys. It's almost as bad as the scraping them on the chalkboard thing. :)

I have yet to learn the banjo, but yes I do play the fiddle. Not country or bluegrass, but a little bit of Irish, and a lot of Christian. And I guess I could play classical violin if I had too.

I have a habit not everyone appreciates. I love to plan stuff. In detail, to the moment, work out all the finances, make back up plans incase something comes up. Everyone is well aware of the plans and then we head off.

....and then I see something else I like instead and want to do that.

That seems to really annoy people lol!

I love to sing Italian art songs, in an opera voice, with excessive vibrato, at the top of my lungs.
Complete with hand gestures in crowded malls or while on quiet romantic candle lit dinners, really gets the blood pumpin.

If she still acts like she know's ya, shes a keeper.
