I host a weekly game with about 8-10 players per week. In my game, showing your hand does not make it dead. You may get called some names though. If you do make the ruling that way, you should make sure everyone knows it when they enter.

My worst habit is exposing my cards after the betting before the river (usually intoxicated). I never mean to, and it is way to my disadvantage, but I would be way upset if my hand was dead.
