We all do things we know we should not. What's your dirty secret?

I leave the water running the whole time I'm brushing my teeth.

In the same vein, in the morning I brush my teeth with the water running, turn on the shower, then go put the dog out before getting in the shower.
Your believing or not believing in karma has no effect on its existence, nor on its consequences to you. Just as a refusal to believe in the ocean would not prevent you from drowning.

Flossing is annoying, so I generally skip it. :P

I hate to lose.  Not in the sense that I'm a sore loser, or rage quitter.  I tend to not do things which, I realize I have a more than statistically average of not winning.  This has a positive in that I won't gamble, but it also has a negative in that I can be risk averse.

Generally?

DAILY. I skip it DAILY.

I have also never got into the habit of brushing twice a day.

I only wash my hands after using the restroom if I know I got something on them.

I'm sure I have plenty of dirty secrets; why the hell aren't any of them coming to mind?

ETA: Here's one -- I always tear up whole dinner rolls or tortillas in restaurants after I've finished my meal to prevent the proprietors from reusing them.

...

I know I have something dirtier than that. :?

ETA The Sequel: This is more being an asshole. I make mocking faces at children throwing tantrums on the conditions that 1) Said child is looking at me, and 2) no one else is.

I hate using hand sanitizer and only use it now because I work in a place where I have environmental contact with immunosuppressed and immunocompromised patients. I will only ever use it at work or - and this is a big exception - if I'm using a portapotty on, like, festival campgrounds that's equipped with a dispenser of the stuff.

When I was a child, I would steal tiny little things from big stores - a chapstick or a pencil eraser or something - purely because it was one of the few ways I could be truly naughty and not directly hurt anyone, at least as far as my eight-year-old self could see. I don't do this anymore, but I still eye candy and lip balms and things and just sort of think 'what if'.

I am actually a very boring person who just has semi-unusual interests.

When I was about 5, I got caught eating an eraser at school. For some reason I still recall that it was a Staedtler...

I rarely use soap when washing my hands, unless I actually have stuff on them that I need the soap to get off.

I really like individual bottles of water. I like the size in my hand, the way the opening of the bottle hits my mouth and that they are individually sealed. I very rarely recycle the bottles....

I drink only bottled water when I am at work, even though I know they just toss most of the recycling into the garbage (Seattle requires all businesses to recycle, but we share a recycling bin with a neighbor, and it fills up in less than half the week). My boss doesn't charge employees for drinks, but I have about 4-5 of them every day >_>

OMG I DO THAT TOO.

Unless I'm at someone else's house.  Then I'd feel weird.

Don't worry, I used to be like them but then I started smoking more often and I don't like my fingers smelling of tobacco (yeah, I know, I can't work it out either) so I wash my hands with soap every time.

I wash my hands every chance I get at work.  But that's because work has baby shampoo as soap in the bathroom, and after using it my hands smell like clean baby.

I'm super ambivalent about my appearance.

I mean, I love feeling like I'm totally gorgeous, but... man, if I have to put in effort, eff that. ._. I just don't care enough about what I look like to bother.

Which is probably why I'm fat and kinda pimply and pretty much a failure as a woman because I only seldom actually give a rat's ass about making myself attractive. I just can't make it seem very important to myself. There's so many things I'd rather be doing than spending longer than thirty seconds in front of a mirror.

Edit: Oh, and I ONLY TAKE PICTURES when I HAVE put in the effort to TRY at pretty. Which is why I so seldom take pictures of myself.
