I have this totally disgusting habit. After hypnotism, I "stopped" smoking forever. That was six months ago. It cost $500 dollars, but it worked so it was worth it. Every since July 4th. of this year however, I've been smacking and cracking away at sunflower seeds. Empty bags of various kinds of seeds by Frito Lay, David and some generic brands flail around the back seat of my car while I'm driving to work. I've sampled the Ranch flavored, Whiskey soaked, Dill Pickle and my favorite--Reduced sodium. That justifies my obsession. Something about "reduced sodium" that sounds quite healthy and wholesome.
The nasty part of this habit is the mess. Bits and pieces of "seed shells" are stuck inside my computer keyboard at work--and at home. There's also this fine filament between the shell and the actual seed that sort of coats my back teeth. I feel like my mouth is constantly lined with flannel. If the filament doesn't make it to my mouth, it makes it's to the carpeting around my desk. It appears that I've got some sort of shedding disorder. Only Ruben, the maintenance man knows the truth of my addiction. He empties my trash can and quietly vacuums around my desk in my absence. I don't tell anyone that he fishes for carp and he doesn't complain about cleaning up after me.
