It's embarrasing, but a few years ago, I started biting off my cuticles at the corners of my nails and any extra skin on my fingers. I did it so much on my left thumb that it is pretty much a big callous from the bottom of the nail to the bottom of the top knuckle. It's hardly noticable, but I'm self-concious about it.

I'm not alone! 😀
 
Either cracking my neck or tapping whatever surface is near me (table, desk, wall, etc), both annoy the hell out of people.
 
I don't bite my nails.. I peel at them. Hardly ever do I have to cut it with a nail cutter... bad habit since I can remember.

Ahhh! I wasn't doing it until you started talking about it!

This stuff works for dry skin if you have it...plus it will help you stop biting because it tastes like ass 😀

I have this habit too, although not on the order of casuing callouses...

Then I proceed to berate them that they could have gotten it for $20 less at ...

Force of habit.

Who would have ever thought.... 🙂

but then again you are the Clark Howard of Hot Deals

Let's just say I had the hands of a sasquatch and was legally blind by the age of 13 🙂
