Off-putting Habits
Were you ever put off someone you quite fancied by their weird/irritating/unwholesome habits?I remember my mother telling me long ago that she completely 'went off' a young man she liked when she noticed he always had a dirty line round his shirt collar!
I knew a chap who finished every flippin' sentence with "you know what I mean", drove me nuts.

Re: Off-putting Habits
One I can think of right away. A chap I used to hang around with, one of the gang so to speak, had the sickening habit when having a pint of Guinness of scooping up the froth on top with the largest potato crisp he could find in the packet, then putting it straight into his gaping mouth, on two occasions I had to dash out to the toilet to vomit, ugh!, I never had a drink with him again, nearly turned me off Guinness for life.The wife when she was a teenager had a habit of taking sharp short intakes of breath through her teeth, very annoying, it took me a while to get her out of that habit by constantly reminding her it was annoying to everyone, she thanked me afterward and the only bad habit she has now is me.

Re: Off-putting Habits
oh quite a few! those who were constantly sniffing, showing half of their backside as their pants were slipping, wore vests under their shirts, thought it wasn't manly to use deodorant or after shave as it was sissy, seemed allergic to toothpaste and had bad breath.Have you girls ever kissed anyone like that?

I used to have a neighbour/friend (long story) who, if you told her anything even mildly controversial, would open her mouth wide and open her eyes even wider in a cartoonish sort of way as if she was outraged into a frozen rictus of horror. Ooh, it was irritating. Fortunately we don't speak any more!

Seeing someone talk with their mouth full of food! We have a co-worker who does this all the time... She is loud and obnoxious anyway and opens her mouth really wide when she talks. How sickening to see partially masticated foodstuff lying on her tongue during one of her desertations. I have ceased sitting at the same table.16-04-2014, 11:10 PM

My OH used to have an annoying habit.....crashing his teeth together after telling me something, not all the time but enough to be annoying!! I did tell him about it and eventually it stopped, they are all his own teeth, if they weren't I could have hidden them and stopped it sooner!!
