I really think that, as humans, our perfection lies in the so many little imperfections that make us different and unique. Among those are our habits and fears.
I am terrified of balloons! The sound of a balloon being blown up makes me jump up and hit the ceiling! Also, bees, maybe coz I've never been stung by one?
Bad habits: here's a nasty one: I'm a heavy smoker. And I nibble, not my nails, but the skin around them (I know, Yuck!)
So come on, let out the dirty secrets ;)

sorry, buying stamps will compel you to lick spiders? have I read that incorrectly?

In response to tin's original post I have found that my fear of bees defintely went away after I was stung by one. (It actually didn't hurt that much)

I have a bad habit of chewing my cuticles.
I don't know if this is a phobia, but if I am at the edge of a big body of water and I can see the other side (like a big lake, not the ocean) I sometimes get a rush of fright. Maybe something that happened when I was very young? who knows
However, I am not afraid to lick spiders :D

No, it's spider stamps I didn't want to lick. Of course I wouldn't lick a spider either - or even let one near me.
And that's why it's called PHOBIA.

I am afraid of frogs. It took all the courage I could muster to disect frogs in 8th grade.

Acrophobia- I can't stand heights. I get very dizzy and even if it's only five feet off the ground I start to panic.
Bad habits-When I get nervous, I rip my nails from the nailbed (but only on my thumbs) I have really long nails and I don't want to bite them, so I do that.

Agorophobia. I hate crowds and I live in New York city. That's a phobia AND a bad habit.

Charlotte, I have Acrophobia as well, I don't get dizzy, but do get into a bit of a panic anytime I have to climb a ladder.
Bad Habit-Being a diehard Cleveland Browns fan. I'll never learn! ;-)
