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 ;)

Bad Habit: Getting on the computer when I should be cleaning my room. :P

Phobia: I hate electric lines. I'm paranoid that I'm going to be electrocuted. When I walk my dog at night, I seriously carry a flashlight and check the lines as I go to make sure they're not on the road or drooping or something, lol!

So, I'm scared of people with umbrellas poking my eyes out. Not just kinda scared, either...like scared like I limber up a little bit before I go out in the rain in anticipation of the sweetfoot twinkletoes boogie I'm gonna have to do to deke out all those careless, eye-level umbrella-wielding inconsiderates.

Scared like I walk in a single file line whenever it's raining and I'm out with my friends.

Scared like I've actually thought this might be a reason to avoid England entirely.

Let's see...

I smoke like a French prostitute
Swear like an Irish sailor
Drink like a Russian salmon

did I miss any bad habits (or stereotypes)? :)

My mistake...

Sock puppets, the kid from the Jell-o commercials, the Welch's grape juice genetically engineered ubercuties, and of course, snakes on a plane.

I can vouch for his terrification at sock puppets....

I'm like that with clowns, there's a couple people on here with clown avatars that literally scare me everytime I see them on.

Crunch, there are other reasons to avoid England entirely.

*ducks the steak-and-kidney pie lobbed at her head*

KIDDING, people! Now I think I'd best be afraid of Brits!
