Something you know that is bad for you, but you do it anyway…
Me = junk food

I really like to make out with my ex-wife. We’re on good terms, just can’t cohabitate.
If she’s not around I’m always up for a 12 pack of beer, a few plates of nachos & any Lord Of The Rings movie.

I don’t have guilty pleasures. It’s because I have no shame, really.

Driving my car… like it’s stolen. 😛
3 egg omlettes with bacon, onions, home fries, toasted garlic bagel and strawberry jam. And a Dr. Pepper.
Really well tailored suits and great shoes.
Downloading MP3 music for pennies a song.
Posting on the SDMB while at work. :eek:

My occasional trips to Reno. I feel like I should be taking the kids with me, but it’s not a kid place. And I am not doing family stuff while there. But still…

Being by myself.
There’s friends that are constantly wanting to catch up; I have a great housemate who I get on really well with; there’s the dog to be walked; there’s people from work who want to meet up, too.
But sometimes I just take off into town, or go for a walk by myself, or even go and see a play by myself.
And I feel guilty because I think this would be a good opportunity to fulfil those social obligations I never asked for, or to feel like a better pet owner in the dog’s case.
But I just love being by myself for a few hours, because I’m never alone unless I’m driving in my car.

Sleeping late.
Everytime I do it I kick myself for the next two days while my sleep schedule is messed up.
Ohhhh, but it feels sooooo gooooood to laze around in bed while the sunshine beams in through the window. Ahhhhhh.

Well, I really can’t tell you here, now can I???
But to respond to the OP, buying plants and supporting my zeal for unusual botanica would be the guilty pleasure that I can admit to publically.
