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?

Buttering white bread and dipping into the bolognaise sauce whilst its bubbling away. Delish with the butter melting.

ASMR videos, but I am finding it difficult to find ones that appeal. I like simple things like hair or faces being brushed, or hands massaged, but they do all that nail tapping on bottles and I do not find that relaxing at all.

Watch a "curiosity killed the cat" vid EVERY DAY and lust after singer Ben Volepiere Pierrot. He's divine. Still is I reckon.

Biting the ends off chocolate fingers and sucking hot tea through, like a straw.
Heaven!

Teen Mom (2 & OG) is my guilty pleasure. I was delighted when Teen Mom UK appeared. Then Young and Pregnant; I was in heaven!
(I am old enough to be the mother of all of these youngsters: well ok, I'd have been a teen mom myself but still).
Oh and I consider AIBU a guilty pleasure. I always thought internet forums were for weirdos, then I discovered AIBU. Never read anything else on Mumsnet (well AMA has piqued my interest recently) but I do love a bit of AIBU. My friends now think I am weird for being on an internet forum.

I'm 49 and still suck my thumb Blush I have tried everything to stop over the years but I go to sleep with no thumb in gob and wake up with a soggy thumb Blush
I was so embarrassed about it that when I first slept with my OH I wrote him a note GrinGrinGrin

-Playing ‘The Sims 3’ for several hours at a time (including recreating house plans I’ve searched for).
-Buying - and building - an extensive collection of Lego sets, most of which are currently disassembled as I have nowhere to put them since moving.
-Completing the daily puzzles on ‘Flow Free’ (I’ve been doing them for almost 2 years now and the thought of missing a day makes me panic).
-Super noodle sandwiches - all of the carbs!

Rockhopper81 · 24/07/2018 16:14

To be fair, I don’t feel guilty about any of those, so maybe they’re not ‘guilt pleasures’, more ‘possibly socially questionable pleasures’??

Timeisslippingaway · 24/07/2018 16:28

I watch YouTube videos of people bursting spots and removing ear was. I get quite irritated when they take too long to to actually get round to the removing part. I feel as though I could do a much better job 😂
