This is a question Guilty Pleasures

You know, those little things you do when nobody else is around. OK so some of them are rude, but we reckon there are a whole lot more innocent ones out there: my g/f this morning admitted to climbing the stairs on all fours when I wasn't around, and loving it...

Skipping
When nobody's looking, there's nothing I like better.

ah too many to tell
Trying to be as rude as possible in polite company and not get a slap.

trying to out weird my mates in public and if possible get people to move away from you on public transport.

Finally the ever popular punning game, trying to come up with as many puns as possible on one topic before the others in the room beat you to death.

Rebel at heart
I like humming the Great escape in the library. Very catchy and very annoying. I also like shouting very loud and fast random words, for example 'COCK', or 'TWAT' is a personal favorite, then looking round as if you have NO idea where the disturbance is coming from.
Good times.

Note to students: Being caught WILL get you banned and you may loose all your bookworming rights.

i have issues
I enjoy launching into a list of medical/physical issues when people greet me with 'alright'. for example:
Bob: 'hey alright'
Me: 'well no i have crabs, trapped wind, fanny rash,a really itchy nipp, cystitis and an ingrowing toe nail. and urself??'
I really enjoy the looks on theyr faces.

(works best if you keep a straight face)

I always
bite my nails and crack my knuckles.
I like playing pranks in the school toilets and staying in there to watch the reaction. Some of them are classic.
I also like to think im a spy sometimes. *goes a bit red* Occasionally I sneak up on people, follow them noiselessly and jump out at them. Sometimes I blow a raspberry in their ear and they jump out of thier skin!!
I eat the corners of papaer too.

I'm a nerd. . .
I'm ashamed to say this, but I spend most of my time on my computer(s), often "surfing" this thing called the 'Internet.' It's basically a collection of connected computers all across the world, and it contains a lot of useless information and useful porn. It's divided up into these things called "web pages."

My favorite "web page" is based in England, and is called "b3ta." The three is meant to be a pun or something, I guess. I feel guilty for all the time I spend at "b3ta," reading childish jokes and laughing at poorly-made flash animations. It's tough for me to share, but I suppose it's for the best. I can't imagine any of you having something this odd, though.

With a grateful nod to Julie Andrews
Singing hymns in the shower while pissing in the drain,
Picking at scabs although it causes me pain,
Standing naked in the garden in thunderstorms in the spring,
These are a few of my favourite thiiiings.

Re-packaging
if I buy sweets such as Frutella or Chewits, I will painstakingly open the wrapper at one end, empty all the sweets out, carefully unwrap them and then piece it all back together again, so as to make it look brand new.

Also, waking up during the night to turn my duvet and pillows over so they're on the cold side. Heaven.

8-Ball:
Rather than suspiciously locking your office door, you can take naps on the floor with this method:

1. "Spill" paperclips/tacks/etc on the floor next to your door
2. Lay on your floor so your hand/arm/head is next to the door, and you're in a position in which you could believeably be picking up the paperclips, rather than napping.

If somebody knocks or opens the door, they don't find it locked, and you are "hard at work," not sleeping! Genius!

Pretending
to listen to my cd player on the train. It's amazing the conversations you can hear... That's really quite sad, isn't it?

After frying bacon
If there's any burnt crunchy bits left in the pan, I'll take some bread or a tomato or something, scoop them up and eat them, alon with a fair amount of fat and whatever.

Damn, my mouth's watering to think about it.

Fried eggs
with cheese on top under the grill mmmmm..

Locking my office, and going to sleep on the floor.

I do some IT stuff where I work, and I can look where the managers have been on the web. The dirty old bastards.

.. and I though I was unique in dancing round the house whe no one's around, like Larry Grayson on acid. Turns out not.

sweet smell of methane/and whatever else may be in farts
passing gas into a cushioned chair/couch, then bending over the chair so i'm in a position resembling the "puking into the toilet" position, ramming my nose right into to cushion and taking a huge whiff.


also, this isn't guilty, but seeing how much milk/water/tomato soup i can drink in an hour (or some other interval). I recently got just a bit over three gallons (12 liters) of water in an hour.

Strange but true...

Guilty pleasures include
If I'm in the house on my own i sometimes build a fort out of the cushions on the sofa and stay in there all day.

I always start the day by sitting in the bottom of my shower letting the water just keep me warm and just doing nothing (bar the occasional wee-wee). EDIT: Not a fetish about getting peed on.

The smell of toluene and chlorinated phenols.

When the bus pulls alongside another bus, getting someone's attention on that bus and getting them to get someone else's attention like you want to speak to them. When this is done, quickly face forward and pretend nothing happened. Other person looks like a loon.

And I work in a bar and when i get shit off some pissed up alky I put scrapings of whatever-the-gloopy-stuff-growing-under-the-bar-is in their pint. apologies for length

Work related...
When I have the office to myself for an afternoon, I often have a sleep on the office floor. Perfect.

Trains and motorways...
Sitting on the train to Paddington at rush hour times... taking a picture on your phone of the person sitting next to you, and Bluetoothing it to everyone with Bluetooth in the carriage.

Also, not myself (being female), but whilst sitting in a coach on the motorway, I once saw a man in his car having a wank on the way to work. I swear.

n4ked.
If I'm naked, I'm happy. I'll usually be naked if there's noone else in the house, and I definatly sleep naked. For the hippies, it is really freeing, but it's also very exciting and different. I would highly recommend.

Responsible driving
In contrast to most of the driving-related tales here I prefer to get my kicks obeying the highway code to the letter. (I only passed my test a year ago, so its all still fresh in my memory.)

Particularly high on my list are indicating off roundabouts even when there is absolutely no-one else around (e.g. at 2am or something), stopping at zebra crossings and not moving off til the pedestrian is ALL THE WAY ACROSS, not giving any kind of signals whatsoever to pedestrians waiting to cross lest they misinterpret my signal or another road user does not see my signal and splats the pedestrian into next week, and following the contours of road markings EXACTLY.

And I sometimes wonder why I don't have a girlfriend? Hmmm...

bunking off
bunking off work or college and spend all day doing something fun.. driving to nowhere, seeing where one road will take me(i've now drive the whole length of the A5).

driving very fast with my music very loud..the crapper the better

also, not having a shower all week and then at the end of the week, have a shower..it feels sooo good.

seeing how many people i can freak out by acting weird, spent last sunday pretending to be a schitzo by talking to myself in birmingham bullring.

d5ve
i've done the not stopping thing too, another one you may want to try (although you need a straight road) is drive along, and close your eyes and start counting, i got to 13 secs once before the rumble strips on the left hand side made me open them again

BTW - A180, pickup truck... the rest you'll have to guess

Driving on a mission
When driving I like to set myself missions to accomplish. The usual is to do an entire trip without stopping. So I brake *really* early at lights, and slooooowly inch forward just keeping my wheels turning until it goes green again.

Or at night, driving home from work without changing out of top gear. This involves running red lights, swerving through petrol station forecourts, driving on footpaths, and revving the shit out of the engine while riding the clutch like a deaf grandma. I made it to within a km or so from my house once, then I hit a dog. I almost didn't stop, and I still rue the missed opportunity.
