Habit-forming actions. What is a non-food item on which you occasionally like to chew, or used to like to chew?

 

  I should have specified non-food and non-edible item, but I won’t go back now and edit it.

In either case, chewing gum is not a food nor is it an edible (although some people have been known to swallow their gum).

 

  (You have an errant punctuation symbol in there.)

That'll get you some brownie points.

  A germaphobe like you? That’s hard to believe!

I agree. I really tried to stop doing it and I got no enjoyment from it.

 

  Which do you mean you tried to stop due to no enjoyment, chewing on the pens or being a germaphobe?
~

I agree that it's hard to believe that a germaphobe like me would chew on pens. I tried to stop because of the germs and other reasons. I kept doing it in spite of the fact that I got no enjoyment from doing it.

 

  Gee, I wonder if that means you might consider indulging in some other activities that go against your better judgment . . .

I've given up doing things that are not enjoyable.

Your pen, your germs. Meh.

Now you're screwed.
