Fess Up America!
The Poll this morning is inspired by an anonymous commenter to the blog who wrote:
I hate Dani's whining. I also hate Dick's spitting, Jam's chewing, Amber's crying, Eric's cussing, etc., etc., etc. Wonder what everyone would hate about me if I was in that fishbowl 24/7!
So, fess up, America. What little habit or tick of yours... what thing that makes you human... would the BB lovin' world be hating on you for if you were in the house?
65 Comments:
Well it seemed America was tired of Dustin's gray shirt all the time...so if I was in the BB house, proably all my LSU clothes that I would be wearing....Don't Be Hatin'
ohhhh Carolyn.... making US (perfect people LOL) confess to what others may get annoyed with us for?!?! Of course we could never be as annoying as the houseguests! At least that is what I've been reading with all the trashing of the whining, spitting and whatever!
But seriously, I think if I were in the house, I would annoy people with my tendency to interrupt people when they are talking and/or sometimes then changing the subject. I just can't seem to control myself sometimes and realize after I've done it what I have done... then I usually say "sorry, you finish!"
Sucks!
ahhh.. the first 2 brave souls :) for a few minutes there, i thought this would be the first post no one actually commented on..
being as we're all perfect. ;)
Head scratching!
People will always post a comment Carolyn, your topics are fun! And thanks for no Tiger bashing...I know you love them Trojans :)
GREAT QUESTION! Thought so when I read it as a comment... People are complex and multi-dimensional. I think it's funny how we pigeon hole the players into a few mannerisms/qualities.
Anyway, to answer the question, I'm going to have to go with a few quirks that would get mocked -- Hair twirling and touching my face with my hair would probably be the biggest. I also talk way too fast and use the word "fun" too often.
Fun question!
;)
Well, that way my original post, so guess I have to reply (thanks Carolyn, I'm flattered).
The list for me is probably way too long. My mouth probably would have gotten me evicted the first week since I couldn't hold back.
I KNOW I would be rotten at this game. No poker face here, what you see is what you get. And I would not be near as endearing with that as ED (which I still don't understand). Oh yeah, and I would constantly eat the homemade cooking, but they wouldn't look as cute on my hips as they do the other girls in the house. I'm sure everyone would love to dog on that.
Maybe I SHOULD go on the game -- everyone would have LOTS to hate and then I could be talked about on this blog and America would love me and I could win prizes and I could get a modeling contract and a I could be elected President and ... and ... and ...
My knuckle cracking, and terrible sleeping habits. I'm worse than Boogie and his sleep talking. I sleep moan and groan. I've even woken myself up from it before.
Oh, mine's easy. I'm really competative, like I have to win every game I play (like cards, etc). I bet it'd get on people's nerves quick.
I have to have the last word...Very bad from what my Partner tells me! LOL
Hmmmm...I have quite a few annoying habits. I tend to be a complainer. Friends would disagree, but my husband wouldn't! Which just goes to show that people are quite different when they are in different environments and perhaps something that I have never considered about myself would be "the most annoying thing" to other HG's
...and I bite my nails...
I think I'm all smart, but I'm a complete idiot/dork. I tell people they're stupid for saying something Amber-like and then within 5 minutes I'm saying something equally stupid. Just like genniekap, no self control. So, don't you want to be my new best friend?
Oh Gosh... America will hate me. I love to argue about the smallest little thing in the world. LMAO.
Well....I talk ALOT!! Not that you can't tell from all the comments I leave here. I also twirl my hair when I'm bored.(Beric) I crunch my cereal and I raid the kitchen in the middle of the night when I can't sleep.
Kent - can you please re-send minus the what annoys you about dani part? I'd really like to keep this thread free of the HGs and focused on us.
Anon @ 7:00 -- Great question!
And, I agree. I would NOT win this game. I am the worst liar ever. VERY transparent...
ya'll can tell me next year when Im on the show...hehehe.
My bad habit is:
1. biting my nails
saying:
2. WHATEVER ((more than often))
or
3. OH MY GOD!!! (even more!)
Anon7:00- I'm sure I'd catch alot of crap the first time they caught me at 3AM with a chicken leg and a can of Redi-Whip.lol :)
CANADA HERE LMAO...well lets see I do chew my lip when I am nervous and bored heheeheheee, my son said my Scottish terms slip up a lot so that would probably get on peoples nerves and the fact that I speak up to people that stereotype everything (I can't help it I'm a crisis/outreach worker)so with that my son said I'd probably last a week or two. I sure wish they would do a BigBrother in Canada but I couldn't handle not being without my music and comp lol.
I am annoying because I love to play my quiet nylon-stringed guitar while I watch teevee. And then I end up trying to figure out the tunes in the commercials... kind of fun, but I wouldn't wanna watch teevee with myself... so i guess that qualifies.
otherwise... I'm perfect.
HG's would be sick of me always talking about my family.
I love them.
....I'm still thinking lol
One thing that is pointed out to me that I don't realize is I always stand with my hands on my hips like I'm getting ready to go off on someone. I don't do it intentional, I have come to believe it's a back pain reliever..lol
A lot of people take it the wrong way tho...
I also tell it like it is. I try to do it in an acceptable way, but who knows it could have me evicted the first week too.
Oh, dear. My husband says I yawn all night long and make a yodeling sound when I do. Do you think I'd win a popularity contest in the house by doing that all the time?? LOL
I always seem to pick at my face, I hate it because I get dry spots. Plus I would be kinda like Amber if it wasn't a live show I would be sporting the same shorts almost everyday. Plus the only T-shirts I have all say YMCA since I am Director at a YMCA for over 3 years.
In my post at 7:00, I meant to say the homemade cookies, not cooking.
But evel girl, you make a good point -- chicken legs and whip cream would probably be hidden under my bed at night (beside the cookies) and that would be annoying since it would lead the ants into the bedroom!
i'm ocd...
i am always so opinionated about everything and i don't care to speak my mind. sometimes people get annoyed with that if they don't agree with me which leads to arguments because i feel very strong about my opinions.
For me, it's like Jessica P.'s response. If asked I will speak my opinion on anything regardless of what anyone else thinks. I always feel strongly on my beliefs and I am not to let people know about them. I don't expect people to agree, however. I have a tendancy to be brutaly honest, instead of making little lies.
Also the looks on my face tend people to believe my feelings are other than what I am actually feeling. If I'm thinking, or listening strongly to someone, my face has that *mad or upset* look and I don't mean for it too. I have friends who thought I didn't like them at first because of my looks, until they have gotten to know me. lol.
Oh and since I am a mom of 3 boys, I have been living in a houseful of testosterone for a long time now so I have a tendancy to make those **perverted men** jokes as well. Some people may not like that very much. hehehehehe...
So, for me, I think I would go quickly in the house... or go to the end because some people may not like me. :)
America would be annoyed that I interrup everyone, I would never get out of my pjs if I had no where to go and I'm a whinner just like dani, better now that I'm in my late 20's but when I was her age, I was pretty bad, so I let it slide with her.
I have a tendancy to check my nose like, every 2 minutes. I hate it myself.. I am sure it would drive others insane. I HAVE to rub my nose constantly to make sure I don't have a booger. I know that's gross, and can't believe I'm even sharing. I'm not even really worried about the boogs anymore, I think it has just become a terrible habit.
I sing. When something happens I'll make a song about it. Got that from my mother.
Mercy
Oh my gosh you know the neck thing some people do when they are telling someone off. Yeah I do that. I get teased about it but I have done it since I have been little. Also I'm rubbish in a fight in the fact I just start laughing. I think it is so funny when people are all upset. I start making jokes instead of fighting back.
So a fight with me would be me telling someone off with the neck thing maybe a snap or two followed by that person starting to tell me off ending with me laughing my butt off at how stupid it all is and making fun of the person.
Gee, I was expecting to see Cliff's entry; "I break things". hehehe.
Mine, well, being completely stumped, of course, I asked my hubby.
He said "Nothing about you annoys me,Hon".
Threre you go. PROOF (that I have a very smart hubby).
Okay...fessin' up. I tend to baby people. I was still drawing happy faces on my kids lunch bags when they were in High school.
Winkyface
they'd probably get annoyed that I dance randomly anywhere. I play guitar and I always am playing air guitar when i'm not playing. I tend to talk to people about things whether they aren't into those things or not. And then i try to convince them why those things are awesome and feel hurt when they don't. I'm also like Dick in way that when I'm mad at someone I want to hurt them back and pick at the things that would bother them most. I hate that about me. I'd either be really hated or really liked cuz thats how everyone is with me. anyone wanna be my friend? lol
I'll admit it. I do have ONE bad habit which, in all reality, probably drove my fellow houseguests crazy. I confess. It's my failure to wash behind my ears.
Other than that, I can't think of a single thing.
I think my biggest downfall would be the fact I never let anyone finish a sentence and I talk all the time. I also have an opinion on everything but I do have an open mind!Oh and I also twirl my hair all the time!!!!
My teeth. Haven't ever had the chance to get them corrected and I have a GIANT underbite.
And Carolyn -- We can only guess that the only thing that could possibly be annoying about you is that you would be the one that was always making the kiddies play nice, always cleaning, always making sure everyone is happy and never sleeping!
Oh yeah, I forgot about one annoying thing... whenever I speak it comes out like the high-pitched squeal of airplane jet engine when it is about to talk off. I only have deaf or nearly-deaf friends.
I watch teevee ACTIVELY... meaning I switch around from station to station (especially on a sports day) to make sure i see what i want to see. if others are watching i try to cool it... not flip around so much.
Some wives have described this as an intensely annoying habit of their couch potato hubbies. I wanna be a couch radish.
hey evel girl-carolyn's got the URL-add me! I just hope you're not a killer!
Kevin- Only on days ending in Y ;)
America would be annoyed by me pulling the dead ends of my hair and letting them fall where they may. I also am a picker. I pick the skin on the sides of my fingernails.
I have an annoying habit of picking my face. Don't have acne(knock on wood) but am constantly looking for blackheads.
My poor dh. I'm always attacking his face and have unfortunately passed the picking habit/gene to my youngest.
Don't come too close to her or she'll take her little 5 yo nubs and pick you dry. America would hate me during a sinus attack too. Otherwise, they'd *heart* me. :-~
So much to choose from... LOL.
I wouldn't say I'm an incredibly confrontational person, but when you've annoyed me in some way... you are going to hear all about it. Let me put it this way, my last name starts with the letters MELF and when I get mad my friends call it a "MELF-DOWN".
Besides that I can sometimes utilize my vocabulary a little too freely. On occasion I'm known to break out some of the SAT vocab words which sometimes leave people scratching their heads thinking what the hell is he talking about!!
ok.. now that the overnight report's done... here's mine:
First off, I would be eliminated almost instantly. i would SUCK at this game. My eyes do not lie. If I don't like someone, they pretty much know it. I'm really no good at what we in South Florida call "plastico, pero fantastico."
As far as annoying habits America would hate about me?
Hmm... gosh there's so many...
Cliff, my love, I'm sorry to disappoint you first thing off: I smoke... but I am one of those "polite smokers," so that wouldn't be too much of an issue for the housemates.
I roll my neck around a lot.. and stretch a lot (5 herniated disks & Thoracic RSD - you would too).. so America would probably get on me for that.
With little else to do, I'd likely spend a few hours a day on the elliptical and the treadmill, and that would annoy the heck out of some people.
I'd piss n moan about slop, and likely be begging BB for low carb snackage... and sugar free popsicles.
I'd pluck too often, but not too much.
I'd have visible roots.
I'd roll my eyes and cross em when displeased...
But I'd also talk to and make eye contact with the internet viewers, no doubt.
I sniffle constantly due to chronic sinus problems.
My complaining. I complain a lot.
Winkyface- That is a good and very smart husband. I don't think we would have enough room if I asked my husband that. :)
Thats easy... I am faaar too sarcastic & dry for my own good. Hahahaha!! Plus, as we all do, I have a couple nervous habits that I probably wouldn't be able to kick before entering BB.
Ohhhh yeah... ummm... and my deviated septum... I'd have to probably get that surgically fixed before I go into the house because I constantly have to take meds to keep my nose from totally congesting & running. I blow my nose constantly - I go through WAY too much kleenex. Plus, I do get emotional... but I'd say that Waaamber tops me any day.
Ok...
I am highly competitive, although I try not to act like a fool.
And I so do not have a poker face, my friends laught at me because they can tell exactly what I think of someone by the look on my face...and I dont realize that I am doing it. So apparently I can call people names without saying a word.
It would most likely be the fact that I'm so opionated. And I don't mind telling people what I think about them, their lifestyle,etc.
evel- girl,
Who are you kidding? We all know (as your husband does) that he's one lucky guy.
-Winkyface
I am argumentative about stupid crap, I scratch myself a lot, I pick my nose A LOT, I say "in all honesty" way too much, I am obsessive.
"Oooh Big Brother!" would never have me... My grandaughter is Dani's & Jess' age! While I don't feel a day over 17, demz da facts.
But IF... I'm like you Carolyn, I smoke - politely. And I don't deal well with hateful people - which is why I LOVE this site!!
But my most annoying personality trait (which couldn't occur in the BB house) is when I see a child or an animal left in an automobile in poor weather, I go into the store(s) asking (at the top of my lungs!) who owns the car with license plate #... when that person responds I very loudly tell them that they have two minutes to respond to the situation before I break their window, take the child/animal out & phone the police!
In my next life I'll apply for BB30.

Winky- You are awesome! Thank you:)
Well, I'm sure the leprosy would turn people off.
And, um, I have this annoying habit of not finishing sentences once I
I pee in the shower. (~_^)b
I can't believe that it took this to make me speak up! I think I would talk to all the live feeders...way too much. I'm sure that production would yell at me constantly, and the feeders would turn the volume down. But hey, who are the most dedicated BB fans?
I also:
- cannot sleep at night without a loud monotone noise (such as the hum of a fan) to drowned out all other various noises.
- also cannot, at all, sleep at night without.... erm... "satiating myself" (blame my ex lover for that one... as i was spoiled for years)
- endlessly sarcastic and, sometimes, venomously sardonic
- extremely passionate in my ideologies
- humored by religious peoples (especially fundamentalist/evangelical christians)
- prefer other animals to humans
- love for animals also echoed in my eating habits -> vegan. I never ever preach or judge others for what they eat, but being a vegan is enough to annoy many die-hard meat-eaters.
the list could probably go on...
~Natalie
Easy(although there probably is more than one thing)
I clean and can clean like a maniac.
The more stressed I am,the more I clean. The more bored I am(well you get it)
Not only would I clean and clean. I would get frustrated by anone not trying to maintain the
cleanliness I would create.
Really, it would be a bad scene.
Hm,
I get happy about weird things.(good movie,Vicks scented Kleenex and manga)
When this happens, I hop about and look for someone to tell all about it.
I clip my nails almost every day. Sometimes when I laugh, it ends up as snorting instead.
I also am always trying NOT to bite my cuticles. (not pretty)
Everytime anyone says something, a word in their last sentence makes me think of a song. I'm always singing random lines of songs and the houseguests would freak out because they'd always hear, "HOUSEGUESTS! NO SINGING!" I don't know if I could turn it off :0
Hmm...let's see. My smoking, drinking, swearing, ocd tendencies, panic attacks, etc. Sometimes I talk a lot, too. And I'm a vegan and animal rights activist, tho I don't shove it down people's throats. I know I'd prob have a hissy finding products in the BB house that are tested on animals. I'm sure I'm leaving something out. But I am really a likeable person for the most part. =)
- needless cussing.
- sighing for no apparent reason.
- clapping my middle finger and thumb together.
- randomly repeating the lyric "well you can't be a pimp and a prostitute too."
Wow! I wish I would have known about this website a long time ago. I've been to many sites and none of the members are as open minded (adult) as this group seems to be. Kudos to you Carolyn! I love your topics.
Anyway, my annoying habit would definitely be that I don't ever shut up...I hate those awkward silent moments when people are around so I tend to make sure there are none by rambling on and on. A lot of times I do it just to make someone go away but there are a few times that I just can't control it. I also roll my eyes a lot and I curse like a sailor.
