We asked iVillagers to fess up: Do you have a bad habit? Maybe a bad habit that's just weird, funny or flat-out rude? Do you hog the remote? Do you sleep in your makeup? Do you double-dip at party buffets? Do you bite your nails? (Do you bite your toenails?) The responses we got ranged from hilarious to... well, all-too-familiar.

I talk too loud! I think it's my Italian background or something.

I eat too much at parties. I am always grabbing seconds and thirds.

I have one I bet no one can beat! Very embarrassing but... I suck my thumb in my sleep when I am overtired! I was an avid thumb sucker as a child, and thought I had stopped until a friend in eighth grade caught me doing it during a sleepover... My husband has even caught me a few times! Talk about embarrassing!

I swear like a pirate. I'm really incorrigible, but I'm trying to get down to a "G" rating.

One of my bad habits (that drives my boyfriend totally nuts) is that I do all the laundry, but then drag my feet when it comes to putting it away or hanging it up. Probably 19 times out of 20, I get my clothes from the hamper in the morning rather than the closet! I hate hanging up clothes!

My really bad habit is burping! Up until I was 24, I could not burp for the life of me, then my boyfriend and I vacationed in Mexico and when we got home, all of a sudden, I started burping all the time! At first it was fun because it was this new thing that I had never been able to do, but now it's just plain annoying.

Sometimes, I bite (but not chew) the tip of my thumb nail. Evidently, that's a "sexy" thing I do when I space out, according to my boyfriend.

I pick my teeth with my fingernails. I am constantly scraping plaque off of them, and it drives people crazy.

I love reading until really late in bed, so my poor husband is always tossing and turning, trying to fall asleep, when my light is still on.

My first thought was "Moi? Have bad habits? That I'd admit to?" Then I sat back and thought, oh yeah! I have one that I've had since childhood, and even I'll admit it is disgusting: I lick my jelly knife. I don't make anybody else use it and I don't redip it into my jar, but if I'm not taking it immediately to the sink, I will lick it before I leave it on the counter. So, there's my dirty... halfway-clean little secret.

Tell us all about the habit that makes you blush.
