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?

I voluntarily eat doner kebabs when sober.

I love BBQ beef supernoodles too

Singing along to Disney soundtracks whilst I'm cooking. I have a terrible voice so the guilt comes in what I'm subjecting my neighbours to!

And secondly... pulling out handfuls of my hair in the shower. I have long thick hair and masses comes out whenever I wash it. The really satisfying bit is removing the few strands that have inevitably washed down between my bum cheeks Blush

Whenever I cook a roast chicken I always peel off and eat the skin as soon as it comes out of the oven. I don't think my husband knows that chickens come with skin.

Cleaning my ears with a cotton bud. If I twirl it in my left ear I am almost paralysed with pleasure, right ear isn't nearly as sensitive.

Watching make up tutorials and bridal hair videos on YouTube, so satisfying. Same with calligraphy videos on Instagram.

Reading a trash novel by Jane Green or similar, while eating Jaffa Cakes with a big mug of tea.

Cutting my toenails and then running the tops of my freshly cut toenails along the carpet.

Oooo and another....

Waxing my top lip with the thick wax and then stroking the resulting furry caterpillar wax blob for longer than is probably socially acceptable

@hottotrotsky BVP was on First Dates recently! About halfway through Series 10 I think, if you can find it on catch up...

YouTube, especially vacuous vloggers displaying.... PRIMARK HAULS. I am 32 and a “serious professional” but I will lock myself away to have a good YouTube gorge.

Eating cheese directly from the block, so just gnawing a bit off. No one else in my house eats dairy so I’m not grossing anyone out.

Jaffa Cakes and the protocol re: eating them

Oh, removing fake eyelashes or, slooooowwwwllyyyy removing mascara with really cold micellar water on a cotton pad. It’s ticklish to the point of being infuriating but also, not.

@DobbyLovesSocks there is a new version out which is still evolving but the old MM is still running. Sadly I play both Grin
