Not really, as "vengeful" is not a bad habit of yours.
You procrastinate. You forget to eat. You procrastinate about eating after you remember to eat, until you can't think enough to figure out what you want to eat.
You are an evil video temptress. "wanna watch one more?"
You can scare people with your forcefulness. This is less a bad habit and more a dangerous character trait, but we have to flesh out the list.
You persuade people they don't need to sleep just yet...

That's me. In fact, I'm doing that right now. All of it. Thanks for reminding me to stop procrastinating about eating.
1) You interrupt people when you don't like what they're saying.
It's my bad habit too, and one I've been working on, so I notice it all that much more whenever other people I'm around do the same thing. While I just wind up talking over someone, you generally precede your remarks with "no no No No NO!" Although on those occasions that you're grinning puckishly at the same time, it can be rather endearing.
2) You grin puckishly. (Okay, that one wasn't serious.)
1) You interrupt people when you don't like what they're saying.
Having been on the receiving end of what I think is really going on more than anyone else, I suspect, I'd disagree, and present a slightly more nuanced version.
Every time I can remember this happening, it's been on about the 3rd or 4th go-around of some particular point; it's an expression of frustration -- at something being raised *again* without reference to the previous few points she's made, or else returning to some prior point in the argument, or (last but not least) something utterly irrelevant being brought in.
It's a frustration reaction, as far as I can tell, not an "I don't like what's being said."
After all, if it were that, she'd do a *lot* more interrupting than she does now. ;)
