I think it'd be fine too. Assuming you price the full value at the All The Time level (x 2.5 or so). (Edit: that is the base value, for the 12 or less SCR, is -2 points per -1 reaction).

Despite what the Basic description seems to say with the "people who notice" thing, the reaction penalty for an Odious Habit is priced for affects everybody all the time (-5 per -1 penalty). It doesn't appear to matter if you happen to be displaying the habit right now. I suppose people are assumed to have heard about your disgusting habit and react negatively even if you aren't actually eating a baby right now. Which frankly I think makes sense.
