I have a Bad Habit on sneaking up on my friends and Scaring them even though I don't intend to do so. For example: I would walk up beside then we would not say anything (Because I Figure they are aware that I'm right beside them) until they look to there side and freak out and say "WHOA! How long have you been there, jezz you gotta stop doing that". And Ill say" Ive been here for 12 seconds-don't tell me you haven't notice Ive been here all this time" Hence the reason they gave me a nickname of "white shadow" I gave myself the nickname "Tigerboy" for my love for tigers and the way Tigers hunt down there pray, Kinda like what I do as a bad habit. |

I used to. Back in elementary school, I would roar and growl at people who made me mad. I quit doing it because of the reactions I would get from it. The school councilor also had to talk to me about it. She said to quit because I'm a human, not an animal. |

I chew on people, and tend to answer the phone with a 'kyuu?' or 'mew?' or most often "woof?" I also tend to roll over and snuggle up to people when I sleep. And I growl when I'm angry. All that stuff. |
Quote (Tri @ June 11 2007, 4:40 pm) |
I... growl. Someone annoys and/or angers me, I growl out them. Not like saying, "grr," but more from the throat; people often make a connection to animals when I do so. Also, when I catch a scent, I lift my head into the air and sniff. That's all I can think of. |

Glasgow kisses aren't usually considered affectionate... Eh, the only outwardly furry traits I'm aware of people having picked up on are the fact that when I fall asleep watching movies with my chums I burrow up for warmth. That usually gets them calling me a dormouse. At work one of my comrades joked that she wasn't going to let me do customer service that day until she was sure I wasn't going to growl at the customers. (I hate working saturday mornings). But I think she was being metaphorical. I tend not to have any bad furry habits just because I keep furry fandom as a hobby. In the human world I am human, in the furry world I wear the fursona mask but am still human. |

And I found out PSP handstraps are soft, mushy, and somewhat salty! o.O No joke!
>.> <.<
Do you honestly like chasing tennis balls? I just find that slightly humorous, well I never liked tennis balls nor any type of ball that much. :)
heck I chew on my feet every once and a while.

Do you do that in public? If so, then AWESOME!
nope I hold back enough not to bite my feet in public.
Although I probably could I often wear sandels if not I walk barefoot.
I cant stand wearing shoes for to long. Even sandels start to bug me after a while so I'll walk barefoot. I've even done that at the mall.
I mean heck our feet are adapted for walking. It's just that since we where shoes most of our lifes are feet become week.
Yay, you sound like a Free Paw! I think it would be so fun to go shoeless everywhere, but I'm a bit self-conscious about my hind paws. Plus, my pads are extremely soft (just the way I like 'em), so it would be painful for a while.
And i like tennisballs...i like...chase them...till i have all tennisballs i can get...then i ask friends to throw them again :p

Same LOLheck I chew on my feet every once and a while.

This habit list can also answer why I chose my fursona to be a wolf:
1) I growl when distressed and bare teeth when angry
2) I make "arww!" noises when hurt or in peril
3) I ALWAYS stick things in my mouth and chew on them
4) I use my mouth as a 3rd hand (or often my first hand. I once opened a door with my teeth)
5) I always smell things to identify them, an I can't incorporate anything into my life without smelling it first
7) I often hold my paws close to my chest when they're free
8) I sit in "dog" position when on the floor
9) sleep on my side with my limbs close to my body
10) I eat extremely fast
11) I eat large portions of food infrequently
12) I make it known that I'm going to the bathroom
13) I often lift a leg when I do
14) I bite things a lot, and people if I'm ecstatic enough
15) I also lick things when euphoric
16) I scratch animalistically behind my ear sometimes (that one actually developed AFTER learning of the fandom)
17) meat is my main source of food
18) I run (and sometimes walk) digitigrade
19) I rarely sweat
20) Therefore, In heat, I always find my self with my mouth agape
21) I snap my teeth from a yawn
22) I shake myself dry (It's really the best method)
23) I always believe in teamwork. I hate doing things alone, and I always stick myself to a pack when given a task
24) I also believe that too many people working on something creates chaos. I prefer smaller teams over herds.
25) I'm a strong proponent of competition and try to bend situations to incorporate it within them
26) I would be loyal to my mate (If I had one)
Those last ones weren't really habits. :o I think I went too far . . . . *world explodes*
Just the other day in Science class, I nearly hissed and someone who was throwing around a pencil and nearly hit me. The weird thing was, it was not intentional, it wasn't as though I said to myself "I'm going to hiss at this kid." It was just instinctive. :o
I walk digitigrade up stairs without having to think about it. I think it comes from running up the stairs on all fours as a kid all the time, where I had to be on my toes. Lately I've been watching other people go up stairs and no one else does it, so i guess it's rare. Not sure I'd call it a "bad" habit though. Of course since joining the fandom I now notice myself doing it. Makes me feel a bit more anthro :)
I do that all the time!
I just remembered another furry habit i have.
every time I come down stairs I always go really fast and jump down the last 4-5 and land like I'm pouncing on something.
I'm not sure if I should classify this as a bad habit or just a creepy one, but I find myself petting fur coats whenever I see them. :o
I scratch behind the ears. Whenever i jump down from something i land on the balls of my feet and go into a "crouching" position. I also bit someone. It was more instinctual than anything. He pissed me off and then, for some reason, he held his arm in front of me. CHOMP! (:
I drool far too often, especially right before I'm about to eat... or just randomly in general. And I never chew my food enough, usually forcing me to cough some of the big chunks back up my throat and chew them some more. (:Man. That was too much information for this rabbit.
Man. That was too much information for this rabbit.
Look on the bright side: one mouth-full means twice the chewing pleasure! It makes me feel like I'm eating more anyway. :P
I'm told I sound like a small dog, because I "yip" when startled.
I tend to flick my tongue in and out rapidly, especiallyif I smell something interesting.
Hmmm, let’s see.
-I tend to sneak up on people where there I mean to or not.
-If I get excited or really happy I purr :)
-I sometimes growl when angry
-I chew on anything I get my hands on
-if I smell something in the air I put my head up and sniff a few times
That’s all I can think of right now, seems most furs have similar habits 8)

These are all things a part of me wants to do, yet somehow I just have too much self restraint. :P *glares at my cat.*
I used to be like that, just stopping my self before i did it, but since really getting into the fandom i don't see any point in doing that. All my friends know I'm a furry so they don't care about it and if they don't why should I? (:
i can almost do anything in this catagorie as only o0ne of my freinds actualy know's i'm a fur and so when i do something i.e growl when anoyed, everyone else just thinks i'm strange and pays no attention which i suppose is good

omg I love petting furry stuff.... (:
never actually tried to as it would be futile, and well people would talk you know (:
Let's see...
I take my steaks rare enough where it might as well still be mooing (not exactly a furry habit, but I consider it a more animalistic one).
I have trouble sleeping alone, so if I'm ever at a friend's house I'm likely to curl up on the carpet somewhere near him and fall asleep at inappropriate times. There's been a time or two where I was at a party, a friend went to rest on the couch, and I wound up falling asleep with my head at the foot of the couch so I could be close to someone.
People have taken to "petting" me because when they do, I... well, it's about the same as when you're rubbing a dog's belly. They think it's funny because I do it without thinking now.
Me? Well,
I chew on things religiously which tends to get...out of hand at some times
Oh I have a lot of bad habits, I will just name one though. But.. I ALWAYS have to lick the knife after I spread peanut butter, jelly, mayo, or whatever you put on a sandwich, off of the knife.. *lol*

I hiss when aggravated. And I also growl. And snarl. :)
I sing in the honors choir at school, and there are two types of people in this, Perfect people, and really awkward people, or both.
I have a friend that gives me a light scatch on my back or head if I'm singing something off, wrong, too loud, not loud enough. She herself isn't a fur, but likes to support me for it
For whatever reason, reminds me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMaupc9zEoM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMaupc9zEoM)That...is exactly what I thought. But I didn't know how to find it. :D
I bite too, and I tend to meow whenever I want attention.
I've been told I sneak up on people a lot.lol I sneak up on people on purpose, its fun! also I have a habit of constantly chewing on stuff, jumper chords for tightening the hoodie, my bikelock, a bit of leftover food from lunch, my cheeks etc. I just like to munch :P (yoshi eating habit).
Yah, I bite. But my friends have started flicking my nose in respone to it....im not sure what to think of that. XD
I often growl when mad, a deep throaty growl. Also, I yawn like a cat, and sharpen my nails on a hard surfaces.same here! oh! and i teand to bat at things that hang near my face!
I hiss at my cat when she misbehaves. :D
I caught myself batting a chain hanging from the ceiling fan once... >_> Took me a few seconds to realize what I was doing.
Or a ribbon or a piece of cloth hanging from someone's coat or...I caught myself batting a chain hanging from the ceiling fan once... >_> Took me a few seconds to realize what I was doing.
Oh man, I can't tell you how many times that's happened to me. :D
Bad furry habit?Ah, well, I get hyped up on monster, sugar, coffee and the such X3 and I loooove taurine <3 And glowsticks and raves <3
Um, does collecting way too much furry fetishy pr0n count? :)
How about too much Mt.Dew? (I loathe coffee, but I need my caffeine)
And I'm not sure if it's a bad habit but I'm the one who gets furs all hopped up on sugar with giant pixie stix at MFM every year, sits back, and watches the fun. :D

This and many other cat like behaviors.

I crossed a line today. I licked my plate after dinner.Man if that's crossing the line I've been lineless for most my life :D I lick my plate and my face and whatever I find tasty (or if it's on me, in need of cleaning )
sometimes I'll growl playfully, tilt my head when asking a question, or I'll sit like a canid. ^^;
...Does it count when your laugh is bark-like?
For real. I was pretty much raised doing that - so long as I am not in public, anyway.I crossed a line today. I licked my plate after dinner.Man if that's crossing the line I've been lineless for most my life :D I lick my plate and my face and whatever I find tasty (or if it's on me, in need of cleaning )
I have a problem of taking afternoon cat naps.Yay! Naps...I have that "problem" too.
you sure you aren't just paranoid :D
...whenever I enter another room or a building, go around a corner, etc., I'm always scanning the area and making mental notes of where things are and what kind of people are present.
Now the funny thing about that for me is, I have zero trouble whatsoever when I have to go up stairs "normally", compared to going up quadruped style.I've also gone up the last six or so steps on any staircase in my house on all fours for as long as I can remember, for basically no reason.
I used to do that all the time! We lived in a town house with four floors...I personally thought it was easier to climb stairs doing that, but I'd have to try it again to be sure :)
But now, my house is completely ground level... :PNot even a small basement or anything?
Not even a small basement or anything?
So, are you saying you find it easier to go up stairs normally than quadruped?I meant that I don't notice any difference in difficulty or speed between two and four limbs on the stairs, though I would imagine four would distribute body weight more.
I don't have any trouble going up stairs normally. It's just (at the time) I found I could go up the stairs much faster quadruped.
There's an attic, accessible by ladder, but not a single set of stairs...Ah well. There's always other people's staircases. ;)
and sometimes when I'm at home by myself I like moving around really swiftly and oddly.If that's a furry habit, then I've been acting furry everywhere I go for years.

my single worst bad habit is being able to 'disapear' in a crowd. the few close friends i have could be staring right at me and not see me until i either move or speak. and it seems the more familiar with a person i am the easier it is for me to vanish. my friends often say things like "arc.. you need to stop voidstepping like that. your going to bleep with peoples minds' ..the funny thing is i've stood in front of a camcorder that was turned on and i wasn't on any of the video it took. .. silly isn't it?
I walk on all fours when i go up my staircase, i tried doing that while going down once and i fell down the staircase. i didnt even break anything. but it makes me wonder how my dog does it without falling, well he is small lol
lol yeah. when he smells food nothing will stop him.I walk on all fours when i go up my staircase, i tried doing that while going down once and i fell down the staircase. i didnt even break anything. but it makes me wonder how my dog does it without falling, well he is small lol
Low center of mass and the fact that he/she has been doing it his/her entire life.
I tend to walk digitgrade when I'm trying to sneak silently. I chew on most anything that is within mouth proximity. I also hold things in my mouth that I could just as easily set on the desk or ground. I seem to have a connection emotionally to most animals I've met. I can easily tell how they feel and they can feel my emotions, too. Also, I don't know if this is a furry habit, but I know some animals can do it, but I can "sense" people. They give off a sort of aura that when they enter the room, even if I can't see, hear, or smell them, I can feel their presence in the area. It's sometimes really weird, because on some occasions I not only knew someone was behind me, but I could tell exactly who it was.
<font color='#EEEEEE'>got another one. . . . i guess i turn to rubber when people scratch my head =P yeah thts nice =P.</font>can't help but whimper when that happens to me :)
Meowing, purring, growling,-Also bites-screeching. What can I say? I'm a kitty at heart, but a good kitty. :P

<font color='#EEEEEE'>*Chuckles* I wouldn't say this is bad, just cute. My wife and I will often meow as a response to something. It's become such a habit that I've actually caught myself saying meow to people at work at times.</font>
When I have a scratch behind my ears I often scratch it like a stereotypical dog would. This usually gets a few funny looks :PI know what you mean, I do that too and people look at me like I'm crazy. (:
Yawn like a dog, I often get wired looks. :oWhen I have a scratch behind my ears I often scratch it like a stereotypical dog would. This usually gets a few funny looks :PI know what you mean, I do that too and people look at me like I'm crazy. (:
I do the hair shaking too. :)
And lay nearly everywhere. Still. But, not in trees anymore. Not much.
You know, I can't really blame anything on the furry fandom because most the stuff I do I started before I even knew of the fandoms existence, also I still make an active decision to do or to have started doing any said habits. Thus I am entirely to blame and if it just so happens to get compared to an animal, that's pure coincidence... (Not /bad/ habits per say just habits btw.)
* I like being petted and when so will reply with nuzzling into said pet or tilting my head in said direction of pets
* I yelp/squeak/meep upon being tickled.
* I nom on stuff out of boredom, prey of choice being soda cans because poking holes in the can with my k-9's is strangely amusing
i found out yesterday that leather belts taste like coffee....I thought it had more of a subtle taste? Weak coffee?
Drinking out of a tap directly by tilting my head sideways. (I do this when I only need a sip of water or am too lazy)
Me too...Drinking out of a tap directly by tilting my head sideways. (I do this when I only need a sip of water or am too lazy)
I thought this was just a normal thing...
Thus I stated not all fury related ^.^
I hold and pick up things in my mouth all the time! :D I find it pleasing somehow and it can be very useful, so I guess it's not a bad habit, but not your average Joe kind of thing
Ok here are a few of my habits (not all furry related or bad): - Adding to the list as I scroll through and read all the comments
I curl up when i get to sleep for warmth (depending on the weather. If its hot I can't do this. I do live in Australia)
I find the floor more comfortable than furniture (if its fairly clean carpet)
I randomly bounce up and down sometimes when I'm bored or want to see over someone in a crowd.
I eat food extremely fast (except for breakfast. I struggle eating breakfast foods)
I'm awkward in social interactions with people whom I don't know. Even with people I do know I hardly ever show facial expressions. I almost never show people my teeth (this may have something to do with not being able to show facial expressions because I wore braces for 2 years)
I like the run :D However I can't wearing formal uniform at school. Formal uniform sucks! (Even when I was younger I would run in shopping centres because there so open. However occasionally I'd get told off by security guards. They think running is suspicious and dangerous. I have a nice habit of running around object and people quickly. However my stamina lacks when it comes to playing Chasee) Also at school on Friday I ask my friend "wanna go for a run?" "wanna go for a run?" "Wanna go for a run?" ;)
I shake my head/body after a shower to get rid of excess water before using a towel
Also. Sometimes I can be very defensive of my personal space. (Sometimes I think I just need to chill)
I also tend to use my feet more often as a weapon rather than my hands.
I tend to only talk to people in my "pack" (group) and avoid anyone else. This is also due to my lack of social skills. However I find it easy to talk to people with common interests. (I'm also a bit of a nerd ^.^)
When I get annoyed I growl by saying "grr" (I did this before I know I was a Furry :D)
My cat headbutts me :P I lay on the floor and he falls sideways to my side with his head next to mine.
I've read (on this forum post) that some people go up stairs on all fours. This makes sense as it is easier to judge where the next stair is. I think I've done this a few times as a kid but there are no stairs. There is absolutely no stairs in existence that I use frequently and allot of the stairs are outdoors and made of concrete. I do however think this would be very efficient for indoor wooden stairs.
I used to have the habit of forgetting to breath when running ^.^ I think I still do actually. (I breath a little. Not as much as I should - I have a large lung capacity but most of the time I take short calm breaths) Also I sigh occasionally. It's not that I'm annoyed. It's actually that I need to breath.
Licking plates and knives clean (unless they're sharp knives)
Hiss at my cat when he's been bad
I don't chew things (other than food) but occasionally I just hold things in my mouth :)
I Smell my hands to see if their clean. Metal and money have a distinctive smell. However blood can smell like money :/ I've had my nose Cauterized recently so everything smells a bit like blood. (So I guess Money, Blood and metal have a similar smell) (I used to do this but I was told by my family that It's weird - meh. So I now do that less frequently.)
Drinking out of a tap directly by tilting my head sideways. (I do this when I only need a sip of water or am too lazy)
I licked my hands in public once, it was kind of awkward... :-[Who doesn't lick their hands? :P Licking a plate a friends house on a formal occasion is even more awkward. I did however achieve it without anyone noticing ^^
Who doesn't lick their hands?I don't >.> I hate my hands feeling dirty, and anything having licked them (myself, a dog, anything) makes my tiny little brain freak out until I go and wash them.
Only if my hands are fairly clean. I wash my hands regulary ^^ Not too much though, because I get dermatitus. I used to have an allergic reaction to most soaps. I wonder why...QuoteWho doesn't lick their hands?I don't >.> I hate my hands feeling dirty, and anything having licked them (myself, a dog, anything) makes my tiny little brain freak out until I go and wash them.
I also meow and trill a lot, fortunately, my family and all of my previous partners have found it adorable.
I rub my head on people I like.
I like my head pet.
I sniff the air and my food a lot.
I lick my hands when they are sticky from food. I only do it if they are relatively clean.
Where do I start, when I am trying to get comfortable in bed I make a gentle kinda growl/whimper sound. I can be quite protective of food. When I was younger I used to walk everywhere on tip toes. I pick stuff up with my feet too.
...It's not my proudest moment, but that always stands to the extent to which I'll protect my food.
...It's not my proudest moment, but that always stands to the extent to which I'll protect my food.
Well hey, it's food. It's good stuff.
I don't have any major bad furry habits, but I'm constantly mimicking my dog (which, to others at least, probably looks pretty weird), and I've noticed that when I have an itch on my head or neck, I'll sometimes scratch at it like a dog... not with my foot though.
I beat up a kid at school for taking my milk during lunch, he didn't know what was coming.Where do I start, when I am trying to get comfortable in bed I make a gentle kinda growl/whimper sound. I can be quite protective of food. When I was younger I used to walk everywhere on tip toes. I pick stuff up with my feet too.
Aww man, I HATE it when people take my food. I remember last year, my sister took a bite of my sandwich and I jumped on top of her like something out of Shadow of the Colossus, and stabbed her with a marker. It's not my proudest moment, but that always stands to the extent to which I'll protect my food.
