What is your most annoying habit?

Following on from the thread about your partner’s most annoying habit, confess your own.

I think mine is that I will always put the opposing point of view even if I don’t agree with it.

As a widow I have no one else to annoy but I do annoy myself intensely by recording a programme and then suffering through the adverts. I never remember that I can fast forward through them until they’ve nearly finished, every single blooming time.

I'm a whistler.
I really enjoy doing all the twiddly, warbly bits. grin

I get a song stuck in my head and keep singing it over and over...Gets on my hubby's wickwink

None

I had a think and there just aren't any ??

Doing myself down. I’m noted for it. It’s called doing a Lucca.

I’m also very sarcastic.

I can be quite negative and think I'm ugly.

Being in such a hurry to contribute to the conversation (read: express my own opinion) that I tend to interrupt people.

This bad habit became much worse, during and after lockdown, when for weeks at a time I only had DH and the cat to talk to.

The cat rarely interrupted me - usually only at feeding time, and DH interrupts constantly (so it is his fault I started doing so too, to get a word in edgeways, but being a teacher probably did not help either.)

Annoying habits? How very dare you? Like Mary Poppins, I am practically perfect in every way.

I’ve just asked DH and he refuses to answer - he says he’s not going to fall for that one…. grin

Maggiemaybe Sat 16-Jul-22 14:28:47

He didn’t actually say I didn’t have any annoying habits though. hmm

Many more are springing to mind. If my husband tells me I look nice, my reply is usually 'Don't be ridiculous'. Poor man.
If anyone says 'Your hair looks nice'. I reply 'It's not my real hair'.
Or
'I like your dress'. I say 'Oh this was cheap from Primark'

MissAdventure Sat 16-Jul-22 14:41:47

smile
Sorry Kate.
I'm not laughing at you.
I'm a bit the same, I suppose, that's why i had to smile.

Kate1949 Sat 16-Jul-22 14:44:40

It's ridiculous MissA but I've never been able to take a compliment.

MissAdventure Sat 16-Jul-22 14:46:49

It's such a shame though, isn't it?
Take this one - you have a lovely dry, gentle sense of humour. So there!!

Kate1949 Sat 16-Jul-22 14:48:51

No I haven't. Oh erm I mean thank you. grin

MrsKen33 Sat 16-Jul-22 14:50:36

Impatience, so my DH and DD say.

Too quick and slapdash
Always defend people ( even if they don’t deserve it)
Am too optimistic
And jiggle my legs

I too jiggle my legs constantly. I always look for silver linings, when sometimes there aren't any. Always think I know better than DH (but then I invariably do haha) and I get overly aerated by all the politicians I loathe... very over-aerated constantly at the moment with them all lining up being so insincere and moronic each day grin

CBBL Sat 16-Jul-22 15:03:56

I have an opinion on everything, apparently!

HillyN Sat 16-Jul-22 15:31:18

Spending hours on Gransnet. grin

Impatience, so my DH and DD say.

I once got out my screwdriver and hammer, then found my daughter had taken herself off and was hiding underneath her bed. smile

My face!
All through school, teachers would say "don't you look at me like that" when I really wasn't and it's continued through life, actually getting me in some uncomfortable situations.

Needing to do last minute jobs as we leave the house - check the doors are locked, put cleaner in the loo. He stands on the drive and taps the keys.

I have managed to stop biting my nails though, and am trying really really hard to be a better passenger!

f77ms Sat 16-Jul-22 17:01:03

My over calm nature has irritated two partners believe it or not smile. I think it may be true because it irritates my sister too ! Things just go over my head !

MrsKen33 Sat 16-Jul-22 17:58:36

MissA ?

VioletSky Sat 16-Jul-22 18:12:27

I say exactly what I think...

I can't help it

If I try to put things nicely it just comes out sounding a bit false.

I think I am lucky that I generally don't think anything horrible.

It's good with people who know me well but bad for people who suspect hidden depths or meanings in others lol

The only exception is that I will keep people's privacy I guess that just overrules my brain to mouth connection somehow

ShazzaKanazza Sat 16-Jul-22 19:52:07

My DH would probably say it annoys him how I do myself down all the time and I can’t relax I’m like a meerkat always on the lookout.
