I have more than one bad habit,but,the worse is my inability of buying more than one of anything..not so bad when it is something you know and enjoy,but many a times I’ve been stuck with seconds I know I won’t use..at least I give away a lot.

I haven't done it online, but when I was much younger and shopped at brick-and-mortar stores I'd occasionally buy duplicates of items I liked- especially clothing items. Sometimes they were exactly the same, and sometimes they were the same style but different colors.

My habit of buying more stems from the security blanket of buying three of the same thing (my userid says it all), It's usually food items then deciding that I want to try something different and watch the others wither and die in the refrig. I need control living within walking distance of a Walmart.

I have no bad habits pertaining to food but I have many others, such as writing lists for the next day that I can't possibly finish, reading into the wee hours of the night and then dragging myself through the next day.
Cleaning, I'm always cleaning. I even clean things that are clean.
Taking out my hearing aids and forgetting where I put them.
Eating a bit of my husbands favorite ice cream and then smoothing over the top so it looks like new. I'm pretty good at it.

Hey. Want to come to my house? You can have a real fun time....
It's funny I had been thinking about offering this topic for discussion. I recently committed a bad habit I've strongly whacked my forehead when I did it.
Putting something on the stove to warm or cook like soup, an egg or rice and sitting myself down at the computer for "just a minute." Yeah, a minute turns into too many and ,---yep---. Burned it.

Not picking up my mail for days, even weeks. My mailbox is up the road in a row at my condo community. I'm too lazy. It's mostly junk, anyway. I hate mail!

I have a bad habit of imagining that there is something fishy going on, when nothing at all is rotten in Denmark.

I'd like to hire you to clean for me Ruth. Hey we're both in N.J.
I love the habit of eating some of your husband's ice cream then smoothing it over.

Procrastinating. And I just finished taking care of one of the bad habits in that regard last evening which was gong through the mail I had piled up on my desk in our studio and separating what could be tossed and what needs to be taken to the shredder truck. Which leads me to say, i wouldn't have to outsource the shredding if I'd keep up with it. 
I have more papers to add to that batch so I'm sure I'll fill a 33 gallon garbage bag, easy.

I always kind of buy more than one of something. Say I want a roll of duct tape. I can search the house entire from top to bottom, in every conceivable hiding place.. Nope, none, nada. So, off to the big box store. I use my new roll of tape, and go to put it away. There are four rolls just sitting there. They were NOT there when I looked. It has to be ghosts or space aliens. These are the same ones. who hide the remote. That's the only thing I can figure.

I have a bad habit of leaving the various kitchen cupboard doors open as I’m emptying the dishwasher. My husband has a bad habit of walking into them. 
Bad Habits.
If I were to spend the next three hours typing out a list of my 'Bad Habits', I'd only cover about 2% of them, so I don't think I'll bother.
Now where did I put my Snicker Bars?

Utz potato chips, ripple style only. I impose strict limits on myself, as if left to my own devices, I could easily eat one of those big bags at one sitting. I don't have weight problems, but I do have high blood pressure, and should not be eating any salty snacks at all.
