Advantages: You may enjoy them Disadvantages: I do not
Well the title top 10 bad habits made me wonder whether it is my top ten or the top 10 I dislike. I have decided to write about the ones that I dont like. Sorry for any disappointment but feel I have laid bare enough secrets for the time being.
1. Cuff it
**********
One bad habit I hate is when I see someone with a runny nose wipe it along their sleeves. Normally this is when I am on a bus and they think nobody is looking. Well I am and even though I can sympathise that you may have been caught on the hop and this is the next best thing to an embarrassing dribble on your face, may I suggest carrying a handkerchief or even a small pack of tissues on your travels.
