When people think about bad habits, it’s often smoking and similar unhealthy behavior that comes to mind. But sometimes, something way less detrimental, yet far from praise-worthy, too, can get on people’s nerves.
Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community recently discussed bad habits that way too many people have. Their examples ranged from annoyances, such as lacking basic elevator etiquette, to more peculiar things, like nasal spray addiction, showing just how diverse bad habits can be. If you’re curious to learn more, scroll down to find more examples on the list below.

Stopping. In. Doorways.
Like b***h! Do you want to get ran over? I will run over you.
Just kidding. I will silently get annoyed and let it secretly ruin my day.

Materialism: buying stuff just for the sake of buying it, not because you need it.
I think a lot of people have this huge empty hole in their soul that they constantly try to fill with more and more stuff.

Smoking. It’s been known long enough that it [harms] you and can harm people around you too. Too many people still start the habit.

Oversharing on social media. Privacy has become so rare and it is not helped by the fact that most products/services also require your personal info

Social media/phone addiction. How many of us do anything without our phones now? When’s the last time you left your house without it? The last time you forgot your phone or lost it, how anxious did you feel? Every time I try to slow down on my usage, I do good at first and then I have a day where I could be doing anything else and I still go to my phone and waste the day away. I’ll absentmindedly pull it out while I’m watching tv too. Or playing video games. Here I am at work on it again.

The number of people who don't brush their teeth twice a day is deeply upsetting.

Lying.
Probably the biggest shock I got from the real world once I started adulting is how much people lie and try to manipulate. It’s disheartening

Insulting another person’s intelligence the second they feel insecure about their own. So basically, projection.

Drinking little to no water daily. Then they think that grumble in their stomach is hunger pangs, so they eat more salty food. And sometimes take ibuprofen for their dehydration-induced headaches. Can’t imagine that’s amazing for the kidneys.
