Shocking habits (unique stories)

Are you suffering from a bad habit? Habits, bad or good can either make or break a person. Here are top ten weird habits from Chaddy, an online blogger. 1. I like to eat icecream ONLY when it's melted. I guess I like it to be cold, but not freezing cold. I do however only ever drink my Tea piping hot! 2. I will always try to navigate my way around the house at night without turning on the lights. I like to think I have 20-20 night vision, but the reality is I always end up bumping into something, even though I am pretty good at walking in the dark. 3. Watch a movie over 2-5 days. I don't get a lot of time off, so I'll watch 20 mins of a DVD, then stop it, and then resume watching on a nother day. This used to infuriate my ex-girlfriend who would just watch films without me, which would then annoy me, but I know this is my bad! 4. Read several books at once, but only finish a handful. I don't like to read one book from beginning to end as I can never concentrate for that long on just one thing. 5. I always have a bath or shower before going to sleep, no matter how tired I am. I don't like to be 'dirty' when I slide between the sheets, so I'll sleep on the floor before I go to bed without bathing or showering first! 6. I don't like to reply to texts. I'll always try to phone the sender, even if it means they get a call from me two days later. My friends have got used to me now, so they usually just call me until they get through to me. 7. I will only ever eat steak and toast if it is cremated. I tend to scrape the carbon off it first, as it is not good for you and can cause cancer. 8. I will not wear an item of clothing more than once a day (except shoes, coats), and that includes jeans, jumpers and hats. That makes for a lot of washing and ironing, but is part of the reason why I tend to buy clothes you don't have to iron, and hats that you can pop into the washing machine too. 9. I have a special jar for all the pennies I find. I have found some silver and some notes before, but that jar just holds pennies, nothing else. 10. I have to write a postcard to myself, my family and my best friend wherever I go to on holiday, although lately I've not been anywhere, so I've not had to write any! There you have it. There are a million habits that people acquire and more often than not, they seem to stem from a subconscious need to fill something. A typical person has an ability to do what he or she wants when bored, sad, depressed or even angry. It's human nature. It is up to the person if he/she would like to further let the habit take control. Vocabulary enhancement: 1.Habits: (or wonts) routines of behavior that are repeated regularly and tend to occur subconsciously. 2. piping hot: use of extreme heat (super hot) 3. handful: measurement which means the amount that one hand can carry. 4. cremated: reduce to ashes 5. navigate: direct carefully and safely. Perspective Exchange: 1. Do you have any habits? If so, what are they? 2. Can you easily identify a habit when it occurs? How? 3. Do you have any habits that interfere with the normal flow of your daily life? 4. Which bad habits would you like to be lessened or removed? 5. How do you think you should overcome those bad habits?
