What mannerism in people that you find annoying?

Some of us have mannerisms and they are brought to our attention by friends and we overcome them. I know of someone whose mannerism really irritates people but bringing it his attention doesn't change anything. The guy plays with his dentures in his mouth and sometimes the denture literally sticks out of his mouth. The thing is he seems to be unmindful of the people aroung watching him that silently whispers "gross". Does a similar sight annoy you? Do you have your own mannerism that was brought to your attention?

I mostly hate people poking their nose or simply acting like they are poking it. It annoys me a lot. I know somebody, not a friend, and really bugs me.

Right radiance27! I hate that a lot. My friend always does that everywhere. Even in my house. He's doing that many times and worst is he's playing with the snot he collected. He sticks it everywhere. I really like to punch his nose and pound his hand with a giant hammer or mull. Lol. I hate it I hate it. shadow41

I hate if when someone has chew in there mouth and then just split it on the ground. And I hate it when people chew with their mouth open or they slurp the food into their mouth making the slurping noise each time they put the food in their mouth.

Hmmm. I think what I hate the most is when people chew with their mouth open, you can literally hear the food being chewed and the squish of the saliva.. Hmmm. This just really annoys me. Some people really don't even know that they do that.... For me, I don't think I have a mannerism that has been brought to my attention yet, though, my boyfriend once said that I touch my hair too much. LOL. I don't know if that annoys him, or he is just stating a fact. hehehe. I don't really know why I touch my hair a lot, I think I'm just over conscious about it.

Yes, the biting of nails is really annoying. I don't like it when people bite or lick any part of their body. I looks just plain disgusting to me and doesn't look very healthy at all. I also don't like it when people burp in public and don't excuse themselves. Its just plain rude to me.

God! i could give you a list!!, I hate people who cough and dont cover their mouths!!!, I hate it when people let their children run round with runny snot all over their face and dont even bother to get a tissue to wipe their nose!!!, I hate people who do not wash their hands after the toilet (that really disgusts me), I have also started to avoid going to certain friends houses because of the mess that is in their home!! I have OCD so alo of things bother me, if its not perfect i dont like it!, If it is bad mannered i dont like it. May be harsh but if people taught children these sort of things when they were younger there wouldnt be so many ill tempered, unhygienic, bad mannered kids out there would there??

Non-stop talking! I work with a very kind and nice woman who never stops talking. It's like she verbally expresses every thought that goes through her head. Every day I have to hear what she had for supper the night before and exactly how she prepared it, which of her family liked it, how much it cost her to prepare it, and how many calories are in it. The she moves on to her plans for the evening, which include every little detail, such as stopping for groceries and what she plans to buy and what she thinks it will cost. I could just strangle her some days, but she is so kind-hearted that I don't have it in me to hurt her feelings.

I hate it when people talk too loudly, or when people keep incessantly clearing their throats and/or sniffing. It's really irritating! I can't think of anything that anyone's brought to my attention that I do which annoys them though. Maybe they're too polite to say lol.

Biting nails. My friend does. He bites his finger nails, and he doesn't use a nail clipper anymore to cut his nails. Because it has always been extremely short. He do that every time he is tense,nervous or simply bored. How odd right? Even I told him to stop it.. because its not very pleasing and its a bit unmanly. Still he doesn't care. Imagine the dirt from his nails that may cause him some kind of infection...ewww!

yes that's really bad, maybe his not really aware that he caught people's attention in playing his dentures.i don't have any mannerism at all.most mannerism is a result of gratification during the infancy period.most commonly they are not aware of certain mannerism.
