Chewing on my lips is really my only bad habit. I think it's out of boredom but it's mostly only during the winter when they get dry and have little hangy things.
I occasionally draw blood when I accidentally get more than what I was going for or get a piece of skin that turns out longer than I expected...

The guy I'm working with just downed a 20oz Pepsi in less than a minute.
It takes me hours to get through that much soda. It usually ends up back in the fridge while I take a break.
I'm assuming by this statement your are referring to the quote below.
Now do you really want to defend yourself with a post that clearly shows it's author has a lack of understanding regarding the definition of the word ignore?
Let's all have a quick refresher:
Drawing attention to and expressing your views on a subject is quite the opposite of ignoring it. Like I said are you sure to want to defend yourself with this as proof of your point?
Do I also need to post the definitions of censor and bias? You made several posts in this thread expressing your opinion and you are free to do so. I did not interject until you made the false claim of having an IQ of 57 and used the mentally challenged as a basis for your sarcasm.
The bottom line is your free to establish whatever persona you want in this forum. However, if you want to be taken seriously and viewed as credible, I suggest you be careful about your humor, not purposely mislead others, and learn to use smilies and other contextual clues to make your communication and attempts at humor more recognizeable.
MR is a great community and it's the diversity and genuineness of it's members that makes it so great. Some people get it, some don't. It's up to you to decide what side of that fence best describes you.

You should definately read this book.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Allen-Carrs-Easy-Stop-Smoking/dp/0140277633
It's genius. It stopped the biggest smoker I know from smoking, as well as her son. It works in a weird way too - it actually tells you to smoke throughout, and my friend kept on smoking until the last page. And suddenly she didn't want to smoke anymore. And hasn't smoked since. Give it a shot

That'll defeat the purpose of smoking. It'll put out the cigarette . . .

Posting dictionary definitions does not make you appear clever. Especially when you are wrong. I don't know what basterdised version of the English dictionary you are using, but a quick consult with Oxford (you know that old classic surely?), and also the built in dictionary in Mac OS X highlights that I used the word correctly in the context intended. Here's a quote for you:
ignore |ɪgˈnɔː|
- verb [ trans. ]
- refuse to take notice of or acknowledge; disregard intentionally.
Bolded for emphasis. To disregard something, it is necessary to first take notice of it. It is in this context that I used the word. This is why I was suggesting that ignoring something you don't like is probably the most effective course of action.
I also stand by my original post. Whilst not explicitly against any forum rules, there are times when, I believe, that people should exercise a little bit of caution - there is no need to broadcast the type of sexual activity that you may enjoy, or how promiscuous you are.
That's just my opinion though.
My worst habit is probably a little bit more conservative - procrastinating.
Pissing people off by disagreeing with emotionally based perspectives, that is bad compared to how most people think but it's not as lonely as most emotionals think just harder to find another logical that agrees that the dick is good. So is the logical *****, and emotions are far from removed between two of the same typeall types of problems still come up between two logicals but tend to be easier resolved through this little thing called communication.
to emotionals I am a mean mother ****er but to the logical I am a stepping stone

I don't know if I consider this "bad" but... I have a tendency to look at and play with my boobs rather often (or at least more often than I imagine most girls do). I've even caught myself admiring their abundant bouncing awesomeness in public and hoped no one noticed my admiration. Luckily I had the sense not to go in for a feel. What can I say? When they grab my attention, I grab back.
There. How's that for TMI? I wonder if this will gather as much protest as some of the other previously mentioned, err, habits.

you have better sense than I not to go in for that feel--but let me tell you before the laws added that to the sexual harassment list I felt up many o woman and I dread the day nothin is ever allowed to touch even in pasing
I do the same thing. Not too sure why I do it either, but have been doing it forever.
At times I nibble my nails pretty short, and others I can leave them alone. I just need to learn to leave them alone a little more often.
If I was a female, I would be playing with my boobs all day long. Not sure how you (women) control yourself with those things.
Agreed, I cannot keep my hands of my fiances and she just had a breast reduction in october...the doc took hers down from 48 DDD to 38 D they are kinda crosseyed but I don't mind that too much.

We need pics to offer a better opinion.
Whenever I'm on the couch watching TV I put my hands down my pants.... Then, I always have to smell them...
I fixed that for you. (Bold and underlined words are mine so as not to confuse with your own bold emphasis)
I don't usually get this way online, but this thread is making me frisky so let's have some more fun.
This is from the Merriam Webster dictionary. I'm partial to Webster's instead of Oxford. If you think he's a bastard then that's between you and him.
disregard
Pronunciation: \ˌdis-ri-ˈgärd\
Function: transitive verb
Date: 1613
: to pay no attention to : treat as unworthy of regard or notice
synonyms: see neglect
I guess I thought this was self evident, but maybe it requires additional explanation. You are correct in stating that there is an initial point of intersection or recognition. However, when you ignore or "intentionally disregard" something you are purposefully controlling your response to that stimuli. This means you actively choose not to further interact with, notice, pay attention to, or acknowledge that stimuli in any manner. You see when you draw attention to, proclaim, and explain your act of ignoring then it ceases to be the act of disregarding because in truth you are furthering interaction by engaging the object of professed intent to ignore. This is what's called a contradiction.
contradiction
Pronunciation: \ˌkän-trə-ˈdik-shən\
Function: noun
Date: 14th century
1 : act or an instance of contradicting
2 a : a proposition, statement, or phrase that asserts or implies both the truth and falsity of something b : a statement or phrase whose parts contradict each other <a round square is a contradiction in terms>
3 a : logical incongruity b : a situation in which inherent factors, actions, or propositions are inconsistent or contrary to one another
(I post this definition in an effort to avoid additional confusion and further attest to the extent of my cleverness)
So, you see, in essesnce by posting about that to which you were claiming to ignore you created a contradiction that just made you look silly. If you wish to truly ignore an individual's forum interaction then don't post about, respond, or draw attention to it at all. Just move on.
I agree completely. If I think someone is being over the top or trying to sensationalize then I usually just ignore it. That's just my opinon though.
Thanks for posting this. I couldn't agree more, procrastinating can be a nasty habit.
*Sorry for the long post and if this has upset anyone. I'm just proving a point, having some fun, and being clever all at the same time.
Going to have to add procrastination and eating too much candy to the nail and lip biting.
Still wishing I had my own boobs to play with whenever I wanted.

Be careful what you wish for
That dream can come true, apparently... I've noticed more and more guys sporting man-boobs of B-cup size or larger lately. More often that not, I see them in the checkout lines at the grocery store, typically with two 1-pound bags of potato chips in one hand and a case of beer in the other.
