Cracking your knuckles can become a habit which, while may be fun for you, can annoy everyone around you. So with some help from the Internet (WikiHow God bless your soul) here is some quick tips to help you break your habit.

1. Understand the possible side effects from cracking your knuckles. Despite popular myth, it does not cause arthritis however it can cause some damage. You can get soft tissue damage to the joint capsule, or you could damage the hand's ligaments.

2. Keep your hands busy. This distracts you from cracking your knuckles so twirl a pen or flip a coin.

3. Use a rubber band to snap yourself. When you feel the urge to crack your knuckles, snap a rubber band onto your skin and overtime you'll associate cracking your knuckles with pain.

4. Become aware of your habit. Maybe try and be aware when other people crack their knuckles and how annoying that is, and you can understand why your habit annoys other people. This may help you to stop.
