Posting here for traffic

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?

The Sims. I had an expansion pack for my birthday and stayed up till 3:30 this morning playing Blush I'd love to do the Let's Plays on YouTube but I HATE my video voice.

When I was pregnant both times it was chewing on sponges and eating the bubbles in the bath Blush. Both of my children now do this!
Also play the sims
Aircrash investigation, watching place crashes on youtube, reading about plane crashes (no wonder I'm scared of flying)
PVA glue all over my hands then peeling it off
Picking scabs and dry skin but can't stand the thought of bursting spots. Don't get the sporn stuff at all even though I have the disgusting picking habit.

Mine is spending too much reading randomness like this on mumsnet...

RuLu · 22/07/2018 21:54

Using lurpak as a dip for crackers!

BunsOfAnarchy · 22/07/2018 21:54

Marry me @PivotPivotPIVOTTT
Husband not a huge fan of aircrash. Ive watched EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE.
ATLEAST TWICE.
After every episode there would be a googling/wikipedia-ing of said case.
Same goes for forensic files and forensic/medical detectives.

Once again all of the above whilst blackhead extracting...

PivotPivotPIVOTTT · 22/07/2018 22:12

BunsOfAnarchy my feeling of guilt is mainly because most of the time I don't even watch the investigation. After the main crash scene I lose focus and end up doing other stuffConfusedShockBlush. Sometimes I watch the full episode and enjoy it and always tell myself to try and watch them all the way throughBlush.

Opies pickled onions
Borlotti onions in balsamic vinegar

Melting hotel chocolat chocolate drops and mixing with brandy then licking off a tiny spoon

EeeSheWasThin · 22/07/2018 22:33

Watching Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders 😊

I’m even thinking about setting up a fake US iTunes account on an old iPad so I can buy more episodes. 😊😊😊

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 22/07/2018 22:36

Reading about and watching documentaries on missing people and serial killers

One for the sporners on here: DD showed me a programme today on iPlayer she watched on CBBC which is about vets. A snake got clogged up and hadn't had a shit for 5 months so the vet basically squeezed all this poo and wee out of it. It was amazing but made me feel a bit queasy. DD absolutely loved it. Think she's a sporner at heart

fieryginger · 23/07/2018 00:35

Tom Hardy and Ice cream and cake and pudding - deserts of any kind. I'm not fussy.

After taking out a roast chicken out of the oven, I get a slice a white bread( the plasticky kind) and dip it it the chicken fat. I enjoy that more than the roast chicken.

We do this, although not with crap bread, we also indulge ourselves with beautiful artisan crusty bread or sometimes homemade bread, and real butter too often I also dip the bread/toast in the bacon fat after I've cooked it. And I'm not even sorry.

Mine would be mcd's chicken nuggets - or any other decent? textured ones in the absence of maccyd's. As well as - but not with - super noodles. Especially with rubbish bread & made in to a sandwich.

Not surprisingly I'm a sucker for a shitty dinner. My favourite at school used to be sausage roll, chips & beans. My favourite at home used to be corned beef (cold), chips and beans with bread & butter - this has to be processed sliced white.

Give me Smiley faces or waffles, beans, bread & butter and some kind of rank crap like nuggets or lamb grill steaks or the like and I'm happy.

I only have a dinner like this once in a blue moon, usually during a bad hangover.

UpstartCrow · 23/07/2018 17:39

I gnaw the bones the day after we have a roast.

Celticrose · 23/07/2018 17:54

Eating cashew nuts and pickled onion crisps together, when peeling a orange ie mandarin clementine etc I have to not just peel it but have to get as much of the pith off as I can also peatnut butter straight out of the jar

Celticrose · 23/07/2018 17:58

Also my childhood comfort food mashed potato with butter and garden peas or baked beans. Got this when recovering from any illness. Also love beans and chips. Making myself thinking about making some of these

delphguelph · 23/07/2018 18:02

Continuing on the roast chicken theme, when I pan fry chicken I let the pan cool then scrap the goldeny chickeny bits off the bottom of the pan.

Not even funny dude.
