From Dr. H's description of AHs vs. IBs:

Quote
If behavior is repeated without much thought, I call it an annoying habit. If it's usually scheduled and requires thought to complete, I call it independent behavior. Annoying habits include personal mannerisms such as the way you eat, the way you clean up after yourself (or don't!), and the way you talk. Independent behavior, which we will be discussing next, may include sporting events you attend, your choice of church, or your personal exercise program.

Picking up donuts on your way to work, because it's scheduled and requires thought to complete, falls under IBs, IMHO.
