EY Y01 L37 Bad Habits

There are many bad habits of other people that annoy us when walking on the street, sharing a train, driving in our cars or when we are at work. Tell me one using the pattern "I hate it when....".
What, if anything, do you do when someone does this?
We all have bad habits ourselves that we are not proud of. These include snacking too often, smoking, binge drinking, being idle around the house, being messy, being late, being disorganized, being too loose with money, being curt with strangers, putting others down, ignoring family members and eating things that taste good but may ultimately be hurting us. Tell us about a bad habit you have.
How, when and why did you pick up this bad habit?
How have you tried to beat this habit? Is it something you can beat?
Tell us about a bad habit you have made someone lessen or quit (a friend, spouse, colleague, sibling or son/daughter). Were you successful by carrot* or by stick** or by a combination of both?

*carrot=誘因、動因、インセンティブ, **stick=意欲をそぐ、行動を妨げる、阻害要因、脅迫、脅し、罰すること、処罰されていること

Question 1

I hate it when people cough or sneeze without covering their mouth.

Question 2

I don't do anything because it feels like it will be rude to do so. But when people I know do it, I try to kindly remind them to cover their mouth.

Question 3

My two worst habits are eating delicious food that may be unhealthy for me and staying up too late. My husband and I both teach in eikaiwa schools so we get home quite late. The only time we have together would sometimes be after 10pm, so we end up staying up late because work doesn't start until the afternoon the next day anyway. I have always enjoyed eating and making food. I almost went to culinary school! Food and travel are the only two things I spend money on.

Question 4

I have always loved eating and have been overweight since I was a child. I have been on a diet my entire life. The bad sleep schedule only started when I started working in English-Please! but got worse over the Christmas break when my husband and I would stay up really late playing games and watching movies, haha!

Question 5

I have been trying to improve my eating habits by using an app on my phone to keep track of my weight and the food I eat. I have lost 4 kilos since I started in January. I allow myself a cheat day every week, and that keeps me happy. If I want to really eat some kind of high calorie food, I just eat lower calorie meals the rest of the day. I am also trying to adjust my sleep schedule but it's not working out too well.

Question 6

I used both the carrot and the stick method to help my husband quit drinking. I wouldn't give him money to buy alcohol, but I would give him money to buy as many non-alcohol drinks he wants. It's been so effective that he doesn't want to drink alcohol anymore even when he has money, and it also helped us save a lot of money! We are going to Bali in March for our first wedding anniversary using our savings!
