　　Erina: Well it's pretty tough to know what your bad habits are, you know, because it's ususally something that other people see.

 

　　Mike: Right.

 

　　Erina: And I hear a lot and I go to Starbucks a lot and I have to admit that I do go to Starbucks a lot every time I find time.

 

　　Mike: Right. Some people would say that's not a bad habit but what do you think about that makes it a bad habit?

 

　　Erina: I do waste money, a lot of money on Starbucks and I am not a coffee person. I just like to be in an environment where I can just sit down and drink coffee, I guess.

 

　　Mike: Understandable, you know, especially in Starbucks and other coffee shops it is, they do a good job of creating a nice atmosphere and it makes people want to stay but then having said that, overspending is definitely¹ a bad habit.

 

　　Erina: Yeah, it is for sure a money drainer to go to Starbucks all the time but people know where to find me so I guess that's a good thing.

 

　　Mike: Yeah, there are always benefits² to bad things. Now besides overspending at Starbucks, can you think of any other bad habits that you might have?

 

　　Erina: Well, I get this from my husband a lot but I touch my hair all the time apparently³ but I really don't notice myself doing it so, you know, my husband fidgets a lot and he doesn't notice it and I think it's one of those things that other people will, you know, point at you, you know, point it out what your bad habits are and for me it's apparently touching⁴ my hair.

 

　　Mike: Right, I guess that bad habit is kind of in the same category⁵ as fidgeting, right?

 

　　Erina: I think so.

 

　　Mike: Although that might be a calming action for you, for other people it looks like you're nervous or you're not sure what to say so that might be a bad habit that you could work on.

 

　　Erina: Yeah, I can work on it by tying my hair up I guess. Very simple.

 

　　Mike: Well it's a simple fix.

 

　　Erina: Hm, hm.
