What is your bad habit?

I think I do everything you guys have mentioned to some extent. Although for my nails it's not biting, it's picking. But I keep them super short all of the time because I can't stand anything other than nubs (even for the few years I was able to stop picking), so it's really only about a week after I trim them. When they're long enough to pick is the sign that I need to trim them.
I bite my nails and the skin around them to the point of near constant pain and bleeding.
I also bounce my knee/ tap my foot and fidget pretty much constantly. I hardly ever sit still.
If I'm not sitting I'm pacing. If I was a dog I'd hate myself!
I'm always chewing stuff as well. Usually pen lids and stuff but because I've been on work experience the past few days I've been chewing chewing gum instead. I've gone through 6 packets in 2 days and I'm only in for 6 hours a day.
This mainly happens at school or situations where I'm nervous so I'm assuming they're stress related.

I scratch my ears until they bleed. Then i scratch them more T_T Especially if I'm stressed and then sleep.
I also scratch my neck when I'm stressed. David told me once the way he can tell if I'm super stressed is if I have rudolph ears and/or am a redneck. LOL
Other than that I fidget a lot and talk to myself lol

I twist a strand of my hair btw two fingers when I am excited or nervous or bored. I am also a chronic nose picker (NOT in public tho)
I also talk to myself ... A lot but that's more when I am alone, I also talk to the horses like I am talking to a child or another person ... The people who work behind us must think I am nuts :rofl1:

I suck on or chew my top lip a lot. It's a self-conscious thing - I had pretty major jaw surgery, and due to all the moving stuff around, my upper lip when relaxed doesn't completely touch my lower lip. So I kind of force it down.
I used to chew on my nails or pens a lot, but working in a lab with rubber gloves on and scary chemicals put an end to that.

I'm REALLY bad about putting my laundry away after I washed it. This past weekend I did my laundry and, uh, put it away with my laundry from two weeks ago. It was in a pile on Pepper's crate (sorry Pepper) for two weeks. And I had to FORCE myself to put it all away.
Laundry and I... we just don't do well together.
Also bad is when I wash my bedding. And I'm ready to go to bed all like "la la la" and walk into my bedroom... sheets are still in the dryer. *&^%.

I eat when I'm stressed.
I eat when I'm bored.
I eat when I'm procrastinating.
I eat when I'm feeling fidgety.
I eat while I'm reading.
I eat when I can't sleep.
I eat while I watch TV.
I eat while I do research.
Basically, I eat whenever my hands or mind aren't fully occupied. Which is almost all the time.
I mostly snack on fruit and veggies, but it's still an issue. I'm currently trying to change the "I eat" to "I go for a walk or exercise".

I do this too! Even when I get nervous watching movies. It's kind of irritating but I have this one spot on my lips that I keep picking at and it heals so slowly. Yuck!
The other thing I do is I can't stand still...If i wait in line, I either bouncing on my toes or pace. When I'm sitting down I tend to rock or tap. People think I have ADHD...
Edit: Oh yea I also talk to myself...at home...at lot.....and ask questions and answer them as if I were talking to someone else. I think I'm just crazy. :lol-sign:

Let's see...I pick at my nail beds, and I'm bad at keeping my hands still - if I wear bracelets or have a hair tie on my wrist I mess with them a lot. I'm almost unable to do homework without food or a cup of tea. I'm very lazy when it comes to putting things away; my desk is a mess right now because I tend to just pile stuff on top of it. Though I always get things done, I often procrastinate pretty badly.
