I know I shouldn't, but

You're a good little Mac user. You back up your files. You repair your permissions. You install the latest updates. But, there's that one bad habit you maintain that isn't in accordance with your regular behavior. Maybe you don't back up regularly, or you've shut down your Mac by just yanking out the power cord. When I was using Mac OS 9 (and I still do at work sometimes), I've been known to force quit the Finder, just so I could rebuild the desktop without having to restart the machine (because laziness is the mother of invention).

So it's confession time, TUAWers. What's your bad Mac habit? It's ok, we'll protect your anonymity.
