Confronting someone who has an annoying habit could be a new reality TV show. Imagine a celebrity dressed in a disguise, telling your friend, or family member about the annoying habit he has. Then, the show can be made into another reality TV show about Intervention, or helping the person kick their annoying habit.How super embarrassing! But at least you could have a highly paid crew of professionals help your friend  stop performing an annoying habit.

Just in case television bigwigs don’t come up with a reality TV show stopping people from performing an annoying habit, here’s what you can do to confront someone with an annoying habit:

1. Send your friend, co-worker, or family member a note, e-mail or  a text message telling her she has an annoying habit such as constantly clearing her throat. Ask her to stop doing the annoying action. Tell her in a kind, gentle manner. In other words, don’t  have ten people surround her desk and yell, “You need to stop rubbing your nose all day!”

2. Tell a family member in a more private setting such as the two of you sitting down to watch TV. Ask your loved one to go for a walk with you to have a chat. Ask your relative how she is feeling  and if anything is bothering her. If not, move ahead with telling her of the annoying habit. Let her know you respect and love her, and care about so much so that you want her to be a better person.

3.Talk to your loved one such as your husband or wife, over a quiet dinner  in a  public place about his annoying habit. This way, the two of you can talk to each other in a neutral place, about the annoying habit without children , or dogs interrupting.Turn off your cellphone, your laptop and what ever else you have that can come between you. You will be talking about a serious subject that needs quiet and concentration.

4. When a child  has an annoying habit, tell your child when you will be alone with him. Text message your son or daughter the information, but don’t post it on his Facebook wall for all of his friends to see. The idea is to get the idea across without embarrassing the annoying habit person.

5.When a co-worker has an annoying habit, take him out to lunch, drive him home, or go on a break together. Tell him about his annoying habit in a more secluded area, such as an empty office,or the boss’s office. Tell him in a nice, professional manner that he needs to stop yelling into his intercom all day.

Confronting someone who has an annoying habit is not a fun proposition. Remember to be respectful and kind, or confront the person in a more joking manner. Let him know he is doing something annoying and that he needs to stop because it bothers everyone else. Where’s Ashton Kutcher wehn we need him?
