I refuse to sleep without being covered up ... all the way to my chin. Even in the summer. Doesn't matter if it's a sheet or a blanket, but I *will* be covered up.
I do the leg-folding thing too, or did, until I fell and hurt my knee. Now I can't sit that way, but sometimes I still catch myself starting to, without thinking! LOL!
Some kind of noise when I go to bed is absolutely necessary. Those sound effects CDs work great ... rain, thunderstorms, ocean, etc. Drives hubby crazy.
I like everything just "so" when I'm eating. If I have a sandwich, it's not "right" unless I have potato chips with it. Pizza is to be eaten with a fork. I'd rather have cereal in a cup instead of a bowl. And I have to have a straw in my drink, especially if it's a canned Coke or whatever. My mouth must not touch the can! Ick!
I will not wear socks unless I have shoes on, and especially not in the bed where the socks get turned around backwards or fall off (I *hate* that!).

I cannot sleep with socks on either, and it has to be cool to sleep at night. I turn the heat WAY down at night time. In the summer I have fans on me to keep me cool.
I also like complete SILENCE when I'm sleeping. If aliens come to abduct me, I want a chance to escape first

When I was a little girl, my Mom asked me to take out the bag of gizzards from the chicken she was going to make for dinner.
ick. I cannot *touch* raw meat or fish.
There is no way in h@ll you will ever get me to make meatloaf or hamburgers.
<<<gag gag gag>>>
Needless to say, either Mark does the Barbeque thing or we order in!
My kids think I'm a great cook cause I make a mean macaroni & cheese!
Bad Habit #2:
Dunkin Donuts every morning.
Two Large Iced Coffees (regardless of the temperature), light & sweet.
(keeps me Zoomin)
Bad Habit #3:
I'm a hair twiggler (at least I'm in good company)
Bad Habit #4:
I still smoke.
Bad Habit #5:
I am stricken with the dreaded disease of shop-a-holism.
I have highly contagious strain so be careful
I can sniff out a bargain from twenty miles and if you get in my way, LOOK OUT!
Bad Habit #6:
I talk in my sleep. I steal the covers, too.
and sometimes I snore.
Other than that and about 100 other bad habits, I'm absolutely perfect
(just ask my Mommy)

After extensive consultation.
I will keep a t-shirt I like until it has so many holes I have to wear a newer one underneath.
When I cook like tonight I keep adding things until I have 2 gallons of chili we will never eat unless I freeze some.
I do drive fast. Once I drove clear across the upper peninsula of Michigan in the middle of the night at 110mph. Once I lost a tire at 140 going across alligator alley and had to drive 200 miles on a spacesaver spare to get a matching replacement and wheel.
I will eat a banana after other people can no longer identify what it is.
When I feel like drinking bourbon I drink it neat and I don't care if it is early in the day.

Haha - this thread is a riot. I thought I was weird but I now see that I'm perfectly normal (at least compared to the people here LOL). I sit with my foot also, people at work think that's very strange. I also have to be covered at night - even in the summer. And it has to be *my* down comforter. And the pillows have to be just right.

Oh, thanks everyone! I've laughed right out loud FOUR TIMES NOW! The dogs left the room just in case I get dangerous, they are quite conservative about behaviour allowed, hinney slurping is ok, but no snapping a sheet when you fold laundry. Scratching till you bleed is fine but no snapping your chewing gum. I realized just a few years ago the dogs think. I was so amazed.
Wow. I wish you hadn't specified 'bad' habit. All of my habits are good!
I can only sleep on 100% cotton sheets. I haven't tried the cotton jersy knits yet. I am very sad if my sheets are not dried on the line so they are stiff and sweetly scented. This goes for my towels also. Which reminds me I cannot BEAR dryer sheets or fabric softner....... I don't even want other people to use them! I'm afraid I might smell it. When I go to thrift stores I start to itch and snuffle within 30 minutes. The itching is on my face, usually forehead or neck, just a horrible light tickle like bugs are on me. I think it is all the exposure to various laundry products on the clothes! I only wear cotton, silk, or linen, at least on top. I do have some skirts that are rayon challis. Poly whether woven or knit makes me sweaty and occasionally itchy.
Hmmm, this might be a 'bad' habit; if someone is ahead of me in a line I pick lint off of them. No, I don't ask first. I am careful that they don't notice.

I can't stand color or printed toilet tissue.
I wait until we're about 50 miles from home and then decide I can't remember if we turned the coffee pot off. My kids learned early in life to check it themselves, so we didn't have to turn around and go back.
I have to have my Starbucks coffee cup. An entire collection of Fireking cups I worked hard to find, still have to have my Starbucks cup!
While on trips, I call the house to see if the answering machine is still working, meaning that the house hasn't burned down.
I also do the leg thing, the sheets thing, the hair thing, the blanket to sleep thing, the smoking thing...Lord, I'm a mess!
