  1. „Which is the most disgusting bad habit in your opinion ?”
    This was the question. A basic but helpful and ingenious question. And when the results came, we could deduct something:
    37,5% said that the most disgusting bad habit is spitting.
    But, 12,5% said that it is play loud music.
    12,5% said that nail bitting is the worst bad habit.
    And 12,5% said that lying or forgetting things.
    My opinion is that the most weird, ugly, and disgusting habit is spitting.Some kids just spit for fun or to get attention. I detest when someone has this kind of attitude. So if you do this, well,you will never get the respect from others. So stop doing it! NOW!

    Finally, I would like to say some facts about the spitting cobras.
    Spitting cobras are types of cobras that can spit venom at predators and prey. Spitting cobras don't spit the same way you do. Spitting cobras spray venom by squeezing venom glands near their mouths, which forces the venom out of small holes in the front of their fangs. They can hurl the spray of venom at a high speed, making it hard for their victims to get away.

  2. The most disgusting bad habit
    There are a lot of bad habits...but which one do you find the most disgusting?
    Eight people answered a poll where they chose a bad habit. Three out of eight people chose spitting. The rest of the votes go for: playing loud music, nail bitting, arriving late, forgetting things and lying. They found that these habits are worse than any others, but I think the most disgusting of all is arriving late.
    Arriving late is a very disrespectful habit in some countries, like Japan or Germany, where if you are not on time at a meeting it is considered a great insult.
    If you are in a romantic relationship and you are late, the beloved one may think it is lack of love or affection.
    At school, you must obey to a timetable/schedule. If you are not on time for a class, your teacher may not allow you to take part of it. (considering it a lack of interest) .

  3. In my opinion, spitting is the most disgusting habit,according to the poll in which 8 people participated,only 3 of them (including me) chose spitting as the most disgusting habit,and written as a percentage,37.5%.
    Playing loud music-12,5%
    Nail bitting-12,5%
    Arriving late-12,5%
    Forgetting things-12,5%
    Lying-12,5%
    I agree with all but less with nail bitting and forgetting things...some people bite their nails when they are nervous,stressed or because of anxiety.
    Forgetting things can be because of stress, depression, lack of sleep or thyroid problems.I don't think forgetting things can become a habit.

    But spitting is still very disgusting.I don't understand how some people make spitting a habit.Spitting should be penalized, as it is in tennis matches.Spitting is not penalized in football or rugby matches and the reason could be that exercise increases the amount of mucus called MUC5B.This mucus makes the saliva thicker,which makes it harder to swallow,so players spit it out.It is not clear why we produce more MUC5B during exercise,it may be because we breathe more through the mouth,so the mucus stops the mouth from drying out. In this case I agree with spitting in football,rugby(or any other sport in which you put more effort)but when you do it simply by going on the street you should be fined.
    And, these being the results of the survey, I am curious what would be chosen if more people had participated.

  4. Soooo there was a poll and I think the whole class answered it right? WHAT??? Only 8 people voted on the poll,really?!(dissapointed). Well I can't complain since I didnt vote either.....whoopsie. The poll was about bad habits and what you consider to be bad habits and some said loud music,nail bitting,arriving late,lying, forgetting things but most said spitting. I can see how spitting can a bad habit even a gross one but let me tell you about nail bitting. Did you know how many bacterias are there in you'r nails?? Well me neither but there are a lot. I understand that you do it because of stress and other things but it is so gross to think of how many bacterias there are. As for the spitting people do this for...hmmm..when they... honestly I have nothing I cant find a one explanation on why would people do that. Just stop easy!
    And this concludes my comentary which took a long time to make you cant even imagine(about 5 minutes). I am honestly curious to see the results if the whole class voted on it will it still be spitting will it change? I guess we will never know.
    (Hope you like my little "comedy" comment)

  5. Bad Habits
    So,I think that the most votes were for 'spitting' because,you said that in your opinion,that is the most disgusting habit.Not surprising,unfortunately there were only 8 votes,I voted forgetting thinks,not disgusting,but pretty annoying.I really wanted to see which is the most disgusting habit in my classmates opinions,but a lot of them didn't answer.I hope in the future you'll create another one,and don't say your opinion before creating it.I can say the spitting is one of the most disgusting of them,because I see people daily doing it,but I suffer from the "forgetting things bad habit" and I love to critic myself,it is the best way to evolve.So I voted Forgetting things.

  6. Acording to the poll, the most disgusting bad habit is spitting. It has 3 votes and yes, in my opinion this is the most disgusting bad habit ever. Just 8 children voted from 24 and that's not ok. Anyway, 3 voted spitting,1 voted play loud music, 1 voted nail bitting,1 voted arriving late, 1 voted forgetting things and 1 voted lying.
    In my opinion nail bitting is a bad habit too, because under our nails we have lots of germs plus that doesn't look good.
    As for the others, I don't think that they are the most disgusting bad habits.
