My odd pleasures
Moving from room to room like im a spy with a gun. Moving stealthily, hiding against walls and shooting any life forms i come across.

Hiding behind a wall then peering around and staring at the person there. Then when they see me, let them stare for a few seconds before i go back behind the wall acting like they havent seen me. Sometimes i even pretend to talk on a radio saying things like "Suspect hasnt seen me" which causes maximum annoyance.

Scaring my mum, making her scream. I once hid under the computer desk and when she was standing by it i streched out my hand and made a groaning sound. She probably shat herself.

Knocking on the window when my dog is in the garden and then ducking when he looks.

Ooh! Another One !!!!
Food !!!
I LOVE instant noodles - the type in a cup, that require hot water and 3.2 minutes of waiting - all those chemicals . . . mmm . . . processed food . . .
Tim Tam Slams . . . does anyone outside Australia know these? Bite both ends off a Tim Tam (2 chocolate biscuits, with a cream filling) and suck coffee or tea through one. Then gobble the biscuit before it melts all over one's hand . . .

MMM . . . I'm going for one now . . . :)

Gluttony! The more different kind of animals that had to die to make my dinner the better.
Whale, elk, raindeer, steer, ptarmigan, salmon... mmmmm

I also like to use as much natural resources as possible and to not recycle anything.

Also I have 1.3 TB warez...

I secretly love Buffy, Angel, Smallville and other lowbrow shows. (not movies though) I also love a lot of MTV shows like Jackass, Wildboys, Dirty Sanches ect... this also secretly as all this went "old" 5-6 years ago.

The night snack during summer, making a large buffet on the lawn, and throwing the bones/leftovers into the neighbours garden.

11 september 2001 I came home from school 14:05, turned on the TV,
saw these two buildings and then *smack* came a plane, I started laughing and 20 seconds later my mate called me and I could hear him also laughing.

Sometimes when I see people on the news who has lost their house in a hurricane or something I try to find the most cruel movie quotes as possible. Like "better you than me" FMJ and giggle.

salty_sea_dog : I also must admit I like Britney's "Poison", but luckily all since has bin crap.

I find stereotypes hilarious.

And I just want to say that I am not american obese just because I like to eat (I'm 65 kg) and I'm not specially cruel or anything, I'm just shielded from the harsh world and hence can't give a flying fuck about it.

Guilty, guilty, guilty . . .
When no one's home, I bring my kitty (ginger moggie called Baron) out from the cold, and let him sit on my computer in the study - he likes to watch me work . . . unfortunately, no one else in the house appreciates animals inside . . . haven't been caught yet !!!
Also . . . looking at trashy horoscope/psychic sites on the net . . . tarot, palmistry, you name it, I've probably seen the site. Crap, but guilty fun . . .

Incidentally...
...a lot of these things are secrets, rather than guilty pleasures. If the site hasn't had a QOTW for that before (I'm relatively new to it) then that could be a good one! i.e. "Tell us a secret you've never told anybody else..."

Mustard
I sometimes eat mustard straight out of the jar. Just a little bit. Preferably wholegrain.

And laughing...
At people who say they're not superstitious, but then wouldn't be seen dead underneath a falling piano.

I like...
If a dog is shitting in my garden, just opening the back door and letting my cat out. It soon stops the muddyfunsters having 20 stone of pure vicious cat meat slam into them and tearing out their throats with it's voracious teeth.

As far as I know it's legal too, the neighbours all do it, but as far as I'm aware their cats haven't scored any kills yet.

Just three. Maybe more.
1) That Tweenie with the yellow legs. Phwoar

2) Killing moths with extreme prejudice, if I could find their families and friends and colleagues, I would kill them too. I'm just getting my own back for wasps.

3) Nose hair.

understanding
I've always taken pleasure in understanding things that baffle other folk. As I'm sure you can imagine last week provided much titillation . This week, however, I will be stricken with guilt. Ah the burden of knowledge

Eating my eyebrows.
Or rather, my eyebrow hair. My eyebrow hairs seem to fall out very easily, and I just love tucking into them.

They give a rather satisfying little crunch when bitten in half by your front teeth.

The same is also true of nasal hair.

Car Idol
When I'm in the car on my own, my absolutely favourite thing is to sing along at the top of my voice to whatever I'm listening to. The best tracks for this have really good screamy lyrics, like the Hives.

This works best when there are lots of other cars around - especially traffic jams - there's nothing better than people you don't know staring at you like you've just been let out.

Sometimes I add a little dance, for that added thrill.

Makes me grin like an idiot...

Childhood guilty pleasures
Guilty pleasures up to age 10:

Looking for nude ladies in fashion magazines, hunting for naughty books hidden in the garage (which I should've taken for myself before it was gutted, dang it!), and watching softcore on cable with the mute on (okay, the last one's a bit more current then the first two). I think the porn movie I saw when I was 3 might've had something to do with this odd fixation of my youth

Tricking my mom by saying "it's raining outside" when it wasn't, and she almost always fell for it!

Peeling dried glue off my hands. It's the best, as many people have already stated

Drawing and then erasing pencil marks on my desk (I got caught once and had to write lines)

Benignly tormenting my aunt's dog by dripping water on her fur and sticking weeds on her

Not-so-benignly tormenting male classmates by chasing and scratching them. The last time I chased a kid I wound up chipping my tooth and getting a root canal (that's karma for you)

Running into big flocks of pigeons (again with the karma, the last time I did that I fell and scraped up my cheek)

Eavesdropping on other peoples conversations and pretending to be a spy (and what am I doing now? Getting a voyuristic thrill by reading other people's guilty pleasures!)

Epiphany...
...my latest secret pleasure is reading this QOTW and enjoying the fact that we are all in good company with our somewhat eccentric idiosyncracies.

i absolutely love
the smell of tupperware. sometimes when no one's home i open up the tupperware drawer and inhale deeply.


also, i rather enjoy marshmallows and jello, even though they're technically not vegetarian. every time i eat a jello cup i have a little twinge of guilt for the fact that it probably came from the same cow as the burger that i just yelled at my friend for eating.

my exboyfriend
caught his roommate and his roommate's girlfriend shagging on his bed - got drunk and confessed to me, swore me to secrecy, but i'm posting it here, that for revenge, he went into the bathroom and slowly ran each of thier toothbrushes up the crack of is ass... silent revenge, how sweet!

Ooh, Dr Fonz - Sellotape
Here's anotherie,
I sometimes sit at my desk and stick Sellotape on my lips, then slowly peel it off to reveal a fantastic lip-print on the adhesive side. Funnily enough, this also makes your lips nice and soft, as it must remove all the manky dried up skin and oil.
Sellotape also makes a great elcheapo version of the Pond's Clear Pore strip - just apply to forehead, nose whatever, and gently remove. The amount of oil it removes is not only astonishing, but strangely satisfying.

Seatbelts
I adore sucking on seatbelts. You get this absolutely awesome salty taste. The older the car, the better - just think about how many people have touched the seatbelt and leeched some of their sweat into it. Delicious!

...
Pissing in the sink; I do it everytime i go to the bog. I run the tap to hide the noise, then flush the toilet afterwards.

I've been doing it for years and I've never been found out, although my mum did ask questions once when she found the crumby remainders of a shit in the bath.

guilty as charged
Ooooh, guilty pleasures. Let's see.

Accidentally adding vodka to the juice I drink with my meal when I'm on break at work (I work in a bar). Oops!

When I run out of clean underwear, I wear my bikini bottoms, and I get a thrill out of knowing that nobody else knows I am wearing them. (Backfired on me once when I took a boy home and he er... well, let's just say he noticed)

Putting my hamster in things and watching her poke her nose out. Anything. Cocktail glasses, empty (clean!) tin cans, socks, drawers, my pockets, anything.

Sorting money out into piles by size of coin.

Yelling at the TV/computer games

I have secret names for some of my friends, that I don't tell them because they are either derogatory or in general give away too much about what I think of that person

Sleeping with someone else's boyfriend, always fun

And finally, talking to said someone else, because it drives their boyfriend mad, and then pretending she started it. She even stops to talk to me in the street now. Winner. Gives this pleasing chill down the spine...

Just a few...
I shout at videogames. Especially the old ones. I get really worked up too. It gives my friends the giggles and makes my mum shout at me but it always feels better when Sonic doesnt quite do what I want and I scream:

"Jump, you blue bastard!"

If a dog barks at me then I always bark back. Sometimes my friends actually have to drag me away.

And I love embarrassing my friends in public places. I was at the fair the other day and two of my female friends asked me and another mate of mine to look after their bags. Of course, as soon as they were out of reach my friend and I put the bags on our arms then held hands and skipped all the way to the ghost train. Ooh, the immaturity. And then in a posh hotel in London me and a friend grabbed hotel umbrellas then started chasing each other having a sword fight:



(In case anyone's interested, I'm on the left)

Oh, I'm such a child. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
