Old fashioned habits: do you do them?

Stuff like:

smoking a pipe
snuff (the powder up your nose, not the movies)
spitting in the street
exhaling phlegm through your nose
tobacco leaves rolled up in your gums

Perhaps there are others...

I'm sure all these ones are current.

Knock back a shot of whiskey when I'm feeling rough.

My Dad cannot eat bacon without letting out a sigh and then saying "nice drop of bacon".

He also can't stand up without farting

Be respectful about someone who has just died.

Touch wood, even if it's patently some kind of synthetic laminate.

Aye I still batter one of my missuses if she treacles my morning waffle pile incorrectly. And, I have a 76-year-old black butler called Petrius who I praise each morning for his pristine hat and surprisingly glorious and polished hunch. Other than that I'm a pretty modern chap.

Does anyone have a bowl in the fridge to keep oil/lard etc for re-use...? My Mum definitely did this into the 1990s but I imagine it is not common now.

A post Christmas thrift drive, combined with desire to comfort eat fried potatoes more regularly, has led me down this path and I can thoroughly recommend it.

Good, eh?

If I'm walking down the pavement with my mrs, I walk on the road side to protect her from any horses that bolt.

I still have this old fashioned habit, and, back in the old days, you were told that if you carried on with this habit you would go blind.

Now, when is my appointment for Specsavers?

Not exactly an old habit - But what has happened to white dog s***?
