Do you pick bits of your body and regret it later ?

I have a tendency to cut my toenails when I'm pissed.  I never feel the pain of going too short until the next day when it stings like hell.

Do you have any unpleasant bodily habits after a few beers ?

Yes but I don't need alcohol to trigger them. I peel the dry skin off my lips. I scrape dry skin off my face forehead & scalp, and flick it from under my fingernails. I pick my nose. I use an overgrown pinky fingernail to dig wax out of my ears. Its only a matter of time before the gf decides I'm disgusting.

BTW Its hard enough cutting my toenails when I'm sober. They're tough enough to require an angle-grinder and the only way they succumb to cutting in just after I've got out of the bath. Even then, reaching them is really hard work. Just pulling socks on is a real effort. To think I could put my big toe in my mouth when I was 5!

I bite my nails pretty hardcore.

nope, I was pretty much born with most of mine

Philr - your comment reminded me of a kingsley amis piece where he describes the clippings that crunch off his big toe being massive enough and flying fast enough to bring down a sparrow on the wing

No they fall off all by themselves

I don't pick anything myself, but I'm totally convinced that someone is sneaking in while I'm asleep, pulling my hair out, and injecting my belly with human fat.

 

It's bizarre.

I pull those wicklow things off my fingers. They knack! Sometimes I fear you'll pull the skin off right the way up to your armpit.

Sorry, but got to make a living somehow!

So that'll be you depleting the wine rack overnight, then? Shit, I'd wondered where it was all going!

When you catch him, give him a kicking from me 'cos he's doing it to me too. I don't believe it was Myranda, she's just owning up to something 'cos she druny the wine

There must be more than one, Phil. It's a goddam conspiracy, I tell you!
