Maria Speaks on the Subject of Habits

People have the oddest habits, and what's weird is that most of them serve no purpose whatsoever. I'm sure we're all guilty of one habit or another, be it picking our nose or turning around in three circles before lying down or croaking like a frog without warning.

The extremely common habit that inspired this particular rant is that of knuckle-cracking. Just today I was watching someone crack their knuckles and thinking to myself, "How disgusting!" Of course, I myself am guilty of this habit, along with an impossible-to-count portion of people. What baffles me is exactly why do we crack our knuckles? What is so insanely amusing about crunching our fingers together to create a popping noise? I find myself doing this without thinking, and I can't even tell you why I do it. And I'll also bet that anyone else in the world that cracks their knuckles can't come up with any excuse other than, "It's just a habit."

So I conclude that habits are dumb, crazy, and pointless, but nevertheless still entertaining and amusing for some God-unknown reason.

I could rant and rave on and on about the weirdest habits people have, but here's an idea: I'll leave that last part up to you. Yes, YOU! Anyone who is reading this rant must fulfill this quest: go and visit my rant forum, and leave a message describing all of your kooky habits, and any others that you might have witnessed other people doing. I'm seriously curious as to what crazy habits we homo sapiens have, and I'm sure there's at least one other person out there who's curious too, so leave a message in the forum and share it with the world!

The End. *cracks her knuckles, turns around three times, and lies down*
