I used to do that (and bite my nails) until about 15 years ago, never could figure out why. The problem is, it's a habit that feeds upon itself because you skin has layers. One New Year's, I just told myself to quit that, and after a month, I never did it again.
I've also been told by doctors that cracking knuckles and your back, both of which I do, is harmless unless it hurts when you do it. Then again, once or twice a day isn't really a habit, but some people really get annoyed if you do that at work, I've found.
Procrastination is definitely my weakest link.

Cracking my knuckles and my neck. Feels awesome but I bet it's not very good very good for you.

I have many, but my worst would have to be constantly pulling out my hair. As I sit at my desk each day I have a nervous habit which sees my free, non mouse had (right) twiddle and play with my hair, usually leading to it getting wrapped around my fingers and falling out only to be deposited on my office desk in a nice collection of what look like pubes.

After reading a couple here, I have also been ripping at my fingernails (because biting it is dumb), procrastinate, and I grown some stupid habit of plucking the hair out of my chin... No beard has ever really developed, it's just little hairs here and there scattered all randomly, and plucking 'em out with my fingers ain't the reason either.

Habitual knuckle cracking can lead to minor joint problems in the hands, but nothing too serious apparently. Neck cracking (which is something I do quite often) can cause some neck problems later in life, or so I've heard.

Well that's not good. Of course I'm still probably going to do it.

I didn't say I was going to stop either, and I don't really care too much about the repercussions
As for another habit of mine; staying up into the wee hours during most nights, like right now for instance. I have stuff to do most afternoons, but most mornings I have free nowadays, so I do still get the required amount of sleep.

I loved my Skullcandy earbuds.... until they brokeGood sound at a great price though.
Really, those are actually good? The ones with the crossbones/skull on them, right?
They aren't good. Unless you love over-exaggerated one note bass, no midrange and dull treble. Skullcandies are fashion statements first, sound quality second. Except the Aviators, those are very decent.
Anyway one of my habits is clicking and highlighting text when I'm reading on a computer. No idea why I do it, or when I started.

So i'm not the only one...
Bad habbits:
Biting nails, and the skin around them
Pulling single strands of hair out (Builds up over time, I had a small bald patch at one point as a result)
Staying up until 4/5/6am when I have to be up for 9.
My worst habbit of all though is my habbit of getting takeaways far too often. It's bad for my wallet and my body, it stems from a culture of laziness when it comes to cooking in my parents house and now it's getting out of hand. I have food in, I can make myself some Pasta with sauce using the onions/peppers/mushrooms/tomatoes I have in, but cooking takes time and effort, ordering a takeaway doesn't. So I get a takeaway one night, one takeaway isn't going to hurt right? This past week I've had 3 (Not counting the one I had after a night out because I threw that one up). It's not helped by the fact everywhere has an online ordering service now (Damn you justeat.co.uk), so I don't even have to pick up the phone.

Staying up until 3 in the morning watching English comedies is a bad habit.
Procrastinating simple tasks for up to a week.
Saying things and think someone might actually give a crap.
Always ending up upside down in a public toilet, you know. Just the normal... What? That's not normal? Strange world.

Procrastination... massive amounts of it. It is like a crippling disease, I want to punch myself in the head sometimes, just to kick-start me into doing something.
