My guilty pleasure is peeling the silver foil off the back of pill packets. DH has a repeat prescription so that guarantees me at least 4 strips a month. It is bizarrely satisfactory to peel it off. Please tell me I'm not alone in having a weird habit

Anyone else have a guilty pleasure/weird habit that you would to confess to?

@TheStoic:

I gave up guilt for Lent one year and never picked it back up again. I just have ‘pleasures’ now.

Loving your work.

Pretending I'm the host of a cookery show when I'm in the kitchen making food.

Jilly Cooper.

A vat of Twiglets and a tub of Philadelphia to dunk them into.

@TitsalinaBumSquash

You can make money from playing The Sims? How?!

Ear wax removal videos.

There, I said it out loud. But when they manage to get a great lump out in one go leaving the ear canal all pink and shiny I come over all unnecessary.

TornFromTheInside · 22/07/2018 16:43

Vitalogy · 22/07/2018 16:45

Black head removal and spot popping.

There's a section on MN called Sporner's Corner.

Watching ASMR videos on YouTube. I always feel like such a weirdo, but they are so lovely to watch!

fourquenelles · 22/07/2018 16:48

What's sporn stuff?

Rubs thighs and dribbles. It's spots and lumps and bumps and explosions in the skin and pus and ear wax videos Grin

There's Sporners' corner on here. Come on over to the dark side.

TornFromTheInside · 22/07/2018 16:49

Blackheads, zits, etc etc.

Reeses peanut butter cups..
Playing hayday (I’ve had the same little farm for at least 5 years)..
Cleaning my ears with cotton buds (even though I know you shouldn’t).

Tits I have to know, how did you make money simming? I’m curious! I’ve been a sims player since the second ep of sims 1, and was quite active in the sims community for many of those years. I still play TS3 a lot now (TS4 sucks for me but TS3 is timeless and perfect). What do you do to make money? Streaming or YouTube videos?

Bad foie gras is certainly a pleasure that ought to cause real guilt, not the ‘oops I’ve been a bit indulgent’ kind either Sad

Mine is naps. I probably have a nap maybe four days out of the week, as luckily my schedule allows it (despite working full time). Part of it is I’m on extremely strong painkillers (morphine) which can make me drowsy sometimes when I’ve had quite a bit. But on the whole I just really enjoy getting my head down for an hour during the day!

scaryteacher · 22/07/2018 17:12

bad I have a fatty liver, so I feel for the goose. I always get strange looks when I refuse to eat fois gras or white veal when I go to dinners in belgium.

S0upertrooper · 22/07/2018 17:30

@BadLad
Foie gras
For that you should feel guilty. You do know how it's made?

Trash TV and weed. My 600lb Life & 90 day fiance whilst smoking a spliff.

TornFromTheInside · 22/07/2018 17:48

Anybody who eats it almost certainly knows how it's made.

GrimDamnFanjo · 22/07/2018 17:48

I like to combine Right Move and the Sims!
I find a nice house and then look at the floor plans and then recreate it in the Sims.
