- If you have served a mission – you constantly talk about your mission ad nauseam.
- Referencing General Authorities to rationalize bad habits. And when I say General Authorities, I mean J. Golden Kimball and I when I say bad habits, I mean swearing.
- Use “Mormon Standard Time” as an excuse for being late. Seriously…there is no such thing as “Mormon Standard Time”, just get your act together and be on time.
- Constantly misusing the phrase “In the name of thy son, Jesus Christ Amen” when ending a talk or a testimony. If it’s not in a prayer, most likely you are using it wrong.
- Thanking every single person in your life while bearing your testimony during testimony meeting. While it’s appreciated, this isn’t the Ocars folks. Thank them in person.
- Swears right before the Sacrament Prayer because you tripped as you were kneeling down and slammed your head on the microphone. Oh wait…nope that was a one time thing…
- Have a scripture reference for every problem you may ever face. While it’s a good thing…occasionally we just want someone to just listen and to understand. See “It’s Not About the Nail”
- Constantly asking single individuals when they are going to get married.
- Constantly asking newly married couples when they are going to have kids.
- “Unofficially” claiming a particular pew in the chapel.
- Snacking before the prayer has been said.
- Talking about food on Fast Sunday
