Smacking Your Log

The thing that annoys me the most are people that are hypocrites. A hypocrite is a person that dislikes something, but they do that thing anyway. For example if a person says something is annoying, like a song, they might tell someone that is playing that song to turn it off. What a normal person would do is not play that song because it’s annoying, but what a hypocrite would do is play that song that they thought was annoying whenever they want.

This specific pet peeve mostly came from my family members at home. My mom in particular would take out her stress and

The behavior I have that I thought would best suit this assignment is one that I have been trying to break for a long time. My habit that I want to break is cursing. I choose this because I feel like I do it too much, especially when there is no need to and I want to remove a majority of it from my vocabulary. Usually when I am telling a joke or get angry at something I curse more than I need to. Sometimes when I do something, I curse on accident or on purpose and I get in trouble for it. If I am around my mother, I try not to say bad words because she does not like them or say them, but they may slip out a couple times and she gets upset. I do not actually like cussing, but it seems to have become a part of my everyday speech. Each day I

During the baseline and intervention periods, the occurrence of nail biting was self-monitored and recorded by marking tallies in a notepad. Nail biting behavior was operationalized as any time the subject’s finger nails or cuticles were placed past the lips and into the mouth to gnaw.

Everyone has a distinct set of pet peeves that frustrate him or her to the core, whether it is obnoxiously loud chewing or incessant pen clicking. Personally, I find slow walking to be the most irksome behavior out there. It’s nearly impossible and definitely a bit painful for me to be behind people meandering aimlessly in hallways, on sidewalks, or out and about in public. Recently, I found myself in a situation that truly tested my patience and encouraged me to contemplate whether I made the right choice or not.

2. Make sure there is no underlying medical cause for the chewing. In some cases, a

The house was old and the fields full of workers harvesting the cotton and tobacco. The crops as tall as me. My feet sinking into the mud. People with baskets on their heads full of cotton. Thems was all dirty and scratched. Only one thing bothered me though. The Logans have 400 hundred acres of land and they is black. I would make more money if those logan's didn’t own that land. I’se been asking them to sell it everyday. They are never going to give up that land I swear.My shop is rackin in the big bucks so one day I will gets that land from the Logans.My theory is if i offer them a few extra I might get though.I want the land that I had before back.

What do talking, laughing, eating and yawning have in common? They are all activities that involve opening and closing the mouth. Most people take these activities for granted – they are part of everyday life, after all. We do these activities day in and day out, so what’s the big deal?

The outrageous behaviors that are displayed by my partner, most times are annoying to me. On one occasion I had to take my car to the shop, and I asked her to pick me up and take me to work on a particular day. Before leaving to drop my car off at the repair shop, I woke her, and informed her to get ready, as she would have to do some extra driving. This will therefore require an early start to avoid us being late for work. I stood at the repair shop and waited for a very lengthy amount of time and had less than ten minutes to get to work, which was 15 miles away. She came and picked me up and started out on the highway. I noticed that the speed she was driving had reached 105 mph. I requested she slowed down in fear of us getting into a terrible accident and being killed.. At this time she promptly pulled the car over and ordered me to get out of her #@$@% car. I

I believe in letting people tell you to stop doing something that they don’t like. They aren’t in the other person’s head so they don’t know if they don’t like it so it’s better to just tell them even if it means they don’t like you anymore because of it, at least it would

The behavior I want to eliminate in this assignment is my habit of lips licking and biting. When I heard about this assignment, I started to search for a bad habit. After a few days of observation, I found that I bite my lips a lot and also I lick my lips. Especially, while I am in a boring class or when I am in boring situations. People’s around me never told me that I lick and bite my lips, therefore I think this behavior of mine is not very recognizable. The reason why I want to eliminate this habit is because, when I lick my lips, saliva makes my lips very dry and easy to crack caused from excessive licking and biting. Although, this behavior of mine does not bother me much, it damages my lips a lot and makes it look bad which makes me want to eliminate this behavior more.

The average person chews 280 pieces of chewing gum every year, according to Statistic Brain. If each piece is chewed for thirty minutes, that’s 8,400 minutes of chewing gum every year for the average person. Bubblegum was created in 1928 from an ingredient called chicle, a sap found in trees located in Central America, as researched by Gabriella Agnello. Agnello later stated that in World War II, scientists found a way to make a gum base out of a rubber with the same qualities as chicle. Nowadays, bubblegum has almost become a problem. The smacking sound is rude, and no one likes getting their hair cut off because someone left gum on their pillow. There are, however, some positives to bubble gum that make these annoyances seem minimal. Bubblegum is made through a series of steps, resulting in a product that can improve test scores.
