Clicking Pens

Highly annoying habits can come in the form of everything from using the telephone and the computer to dining out in public and just dealing with people and the public in general. Bad habits exist in driving, cell phones, shaky legs, someone biting their nails, tapping pencil, and nose blowing. People do these things which make you want to scream, because of how annoying these are. These things are all bad habits that are formed without people noticing. Many times people do these things so much it ends up being almost like an instinct. Sometimes it is just so bad that it makes people want to scream at them but instead they just ask nicely for them to stop and sometimes their response is “Sorry it is a habit.” These bad habits are most annoying in public places like school, supermarkets, the mall, restaurants, almost

Nose blowing is definitely the most annoying. This is not only rude, but it is a pet peeve with me. I am talking about people who blow their noses during class, while the professor is talking, or in a restaurant while people are eating. When I am eating, this will ruin my appetite immediately, and it never fails to put a lump in my throat. People blowing their nose in the classroom while the professor is speaking is rude, does not let me concentrate, and it is so loud I miss what the professor says. This habit is very disgusting please, use the bathroom for this highly annoying habit.

People in supermarkets have bad habits as well. They think they can stand and talk to other people and have a long conversation in the middle of the isle and stay there like if nobody else needed to get through. People tend to forget things when they go to the supermarket. Once, I was behind someone checking out, he unloaded his groceries, the cashier is almost done ringing his order, and he suddenly realized that he forgot to pick up something, he told the cashier “sorry I forgot something.” and walked off. Many people just walk off to get what they forgot and hold up the line. Other shoppers should not have to suffer over others memory lapse. Instead, do the humane thing, complete the shopping order, then go back and get the forgotten item, and wait in line again. It is about the same time spent as when people walk off to get the forgotten item.

Cell phones are handy and convenient most of the time, but they can be highly annoying to people around that person; Elevators, libraries, museums, restaurants, cemeteries, theaters, doctor waiting rooms, places of worship, auditoriums or other public spaces that are indoors, such as hospital emergency rooms or buses. These are not appropriate places to carry on a loud conversation. People also have the bad habit of being on their phone all the time. Sometimes out with friends, people are on their phones and don’t notice that others are talking to them and that is extremely rude and annoying.

Bad habits in driving are probably the worst because depending on the bad habit, it can cause an accident. The biggest bad habit in driving is not turning on the turning signal when turning. This is important because it lets people on the other side know where he is going to turn. People that drive super slow in the left lane is the one that upsets me the most. There is a sign that says “Slower traffic keep right.” so I really do not understand why that person would be in the left lane making traffic and having drivers behind him or her switch lanes because that person is going fifty-five miles per hour on the highway. People that do this and other bad habits while driving should not have a license and should not be driving at all.

From nose blowing in class and restaurants, inappropriate places for cell phone conversations, supermarkets, to driving, bad habits come in any form and almost everywhere people go. People don’t even notice they’re doing this annoying habit because they do it so much, it
