I have a bad habit of leaving half full cups of coffee with lids on my desk. I sometimes drink out of old cups by mistake thinking it’s my new cup. The worse! I have to start tossing those out more.

What's your work desk bad habit?

Hello, I suppose you drink coffie because of idea! I got same manners but my desk is full of cigarette ashes. You know, while I'm working and develop some idea cigarette burns, I forgot that I got she between the fingers and ashes drop down to the keyboard and desk. But that isn't to worry, old people said that cold coffe is good for nice colour of skin (here in Croatia we call it "skin-ten". Imporatnt is that you feel OK into your organism (means you feel you got good health). If it is OK everything is OK. Have a nice day! Best Regards, emienco.

My worst habit at the desk is to sit on my leg ... sort of fold it at the knee onto the chair and sit like that. I don't know why, it just seems comfortable somehow. Doing that, working overtime, and skipping lunch, for a couple of weeks, gave me a blood clot in my leg.

So anyone who sits on their leg, or crosses their legs a lot, please don't do it. Blood clots hurt, and they're scary.

Scattering paper. That's my bad habit. Every 3-6 months, my desk looks like a bad accident at a recycling plant.

Well I don't really have my own desk at school (well now college ) but my room and the desks in it tend to get cluttered with general junk which i can't be bothered to move.

Things like CDs that don't work or are too scratched, bits of paper and notes, piles of games that I rarely if ever play, piles of books, piles of computer magazines, tangled wires, piles of boxes etc. etc. etc.

I also tend to cross my right leg over my left one when I'm sitting at the computer and then rest it on the keyboard desk?! Then at the table, I simply can't sit there without crossing my legs - it's just more comfortable.

I should probably stop embaressing myself now!

P.S. I haven't YET had a blood clot...

Coca bottles....
Lotsa coca bottles.
I mean, right now, I'm at home, and I can count 12 empty botlles between my desk, my monitor back and my pet recycling bin.

Seems to be my way of keeping awake when I get 4/5 hours sleep per nights...

I bend and cross my ankles and bend my knees where my feet are under the chair. Seems to be the cause of my edema.

I also rest the part of my arm near the elbow on the chair handles. Makes a rough spot.

I'm pretty good. The worst is just leaving some junk on my desk, but since junk really annoys me, it's usually gone by the end of the day. Right now there are 4 soda cans that I'll be moving to the recycling in a couple minutes

Dan your desk would drive me insane! How can you stand that
