I used to, but I went cold-turkey 5 or so years ago and haven't bitten since. Damn glad I did, too..it's a disgusting habit.
Cracking my knuckles/anything else I can, however...I haven't managed to say no to crack.

No, I never have. I used to chew on my pencil, though.

I used to and still do when I'm tired. I now have the bizarre habit of twisting my hair - another one when I'm tired or concentrating.

ditto!
If I'm revising for exams (both tired and concentrating) or writing a large piece of work or sitting an exam the nails get damaged and the hair gets twisted

It's a great look, and one I do often, especially when I'm up against deadline, which is oh, about once a day minimum - random mini dreads sticking out at odd angles, fingers in mouth.

Shame on me, I do, I wish I didn't...because I'll never have those good looking hands and nails.

Oh - just reminded myself - another charming habit to throw in amongst the hair twisting and odd bit of nail biting (which I am getting much much better at not doing) is the lip biting and chewing the insides of my cheeks.
Urgh - that makes me sound like I'm tearing my hair out and pretty much self cannibalising

I do, but I don't bite them into oblivion. I use my teeth as nail scissors, I make a perfect cut across every time. Looking at my nails you would never be able to tell. That's 37 years of practice for you.

I chew the inside of my cheeks all the time. More than
once I have bitten off a chunk accidentally. I never fidget,
though. Seeing someone fidget freaks me the fuck out.
It truly scares me.

I quit smoking cigarettes after about 20 years.
I still chew my nails.
Word on the street is they make this shit that you can paint your nails with that will make you gut-wrenching sick.
I have not tried it.
I super-glue them before gigs now.
I know that sounds gross, but I'm a sort of Neil Young-ish player, so I can beat my fingers up pretty bad...the superglue just helps to prevent the whole 'sweaty-guitar-string-metalshavings-under the-nails' feeling - which can be very painful.
It works.
Super Glue is a medical adhesive, I don't care what anyone says. |

The shit you paint on your nails to stop you biting them doesn't work - you become immune and almost take perverse delight in the god awful taste.

Hell yeah, big time biter. Haven't actually cut my fingernails properly in maybe 7 years. I draw the line at toenails though. Oh, the indescribable cramps.

| I have to admit, I sometimes bite 'em down instead of using a nail-clippers!:o I usually do that when I'm siting around playing guitar and me nails are too long. I hate that agonizing soreness If you cut them down to much-your nerve endings go crazy! |

Heehee, me too monkeyboy.
You can always tell which pens are mine at work.
Real classy too when a client has to sign something.
Well its better than my bad habit of chewing my cuticles and hangnails until my fingers are a big bloody mess...

I used to chew pen caps, too. I might still, when I'm not really paying attention.

It's good for your teeth. Why do you think animals chew on things?

One of my esteemed colleagues is such a pen chewer that I've seen him snack casually on metal pens. If there isn't a pen to hand he will eat the cellophane wrappers off layout pads or any other industrially manufactured object that will fit into his mouth.
