This is a question Guilty Pleasures, part 2

It's been a while since we last asked this question and CaptainFellatioNelson's confession that he likes "to fart under the duvet, creep in and see how long I can last only on the fart air contained within" reminded us just how good it was last time.

What are the little things you do for fun when nobody else is around?

Weirdness Personified
I don't post that often, but this QOTW has prodded me into action. I need to confess to some of the guilty pleasures (often weird) I have.

- I talk to myself. A lot. And that's not internal dialogue, I mean talking out loud. I also 'commentate' when I play Pro Evo or Championship Manager.
- I pick and bite the skin around my fingernails, often until they bleed. It's probably more of a stress thing but I do get a sick pleasure out of it I guess.
- I travel on the train a lot, and usually have staring contests with people further down the carriage. Usually chavs, and I usually win.
- I have a nigh on dangerous obsession with TV themes. I don't really play them, I just feel safe in the knowledge I've got most TV themes on my hard disk. If I see a TV theme CD in a shop and it has one I'm missing, or if it's better sound quality than the one I have, I buy it.
- I hate the summer, because of all the wasps. If I happen to catch one in a glass if it invades my house, I drown them in the sink.
- If I get bored walking home, I count my steps. And then I try to guess how many steps it will take me to get to a certain point i.e. Number 87 on the particular road I'm on
- I love ducks, almost on the same level as TV themes. If I see a duck-themed object in a shop (usually a charity shop), I have to buy it.
- I like to eat things cold. If I buy a takeaway, I usually let it go cold and then eat it later. Especially pizza, chips and burgers.
- I can't help copying people's accents. If I call up the Chinese takeaway, I inadvertently start to copy their accent. It doesn't start straight away, it just sneaks its way into my normal accent.
- If anything is given away free, I take it. It doesn't matter if I have no use for them, I get them anyway. Hence why I have about 20 sim cards, 15 teabags, a free sample of Lenor, some free tights, a sample of kitten food among many other things
- When I get up in the morning, I have to check the bbc website before anything else. Even if I'm in a rush.
- Some substances make me have weird, lucid dreams. I like having weird dreams, so sometimes I have a lot of them before I go to bed to induce them.
- Watching quiz shows. Even if I've seen them before.
- If I ever spot a spelling/punctuation mistake (Usually in newspapers, surprisingly enough), I always correct it in pen before I leave it on the train so that the next person that reads it won't have to suffer poor linguistics. (Note: Same with graffiti on toilet walls, desks etc)
- Playing with blu-tac. If I ever find some blu-tac lying around, I can spend hours just playing with it.
- Watching Jeremy Kyle
- Having as many things on/playing as possible. If I'm playing a game, I have to have the TV on and the radio on; possibly with a book as well. I can never do one thing at a time.
- Frijj milkshakes
- Gravy. With everything. But it has to be thick, no thin gravy in this household thank you.
- Taking a day off from Uni because I wake up and can't be arsed to get dressed/walk to the train station/sit on the train for an hour
