Junk food. Sweets of all shapes, sizes and varieties. Masturbation. If you masturbate enough in the morning to the point where you’re late for lecture or for a previous engagement, then it’s a problem. It’s only happened a few times, I swear! But man was it good! Woo! ---

Peanut Butter Pretzels. I ate half a jar yesterday. Mmm. Breakfast, lunch and dinner in 15 minutes. ---

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, gin, shmalzy 1930s dance band records, and women with large feet. ---

Chocolate chip cookie dough, to include cookie dough ice cream. There’s a message board I lurk at which is ultra-right wing. I do believe it’s as far to the right as you can get without becoming a neo-nazi (and I have my doubts about some of the members). I never post, I just watch it for the trainwreck factor, trying to piece together where _these_ goofballs got lost. ---

I’ve conquered and done away with my guilty pleasures. Life is kinda boring since I started doing it right. ---

But man was it good! Woo! Next time try this: “Sorry I’m late - I was masturbating.” 😃 Mine is McDonald’s. (I actually was going to say masturbating, but I had a feeling someone would beat me to it.) ---

Hey, don’t beat yourself up about it. Really :eek: ! My guilty pleasure is Twizzler’s Pull and Peel. Unfortunately, all my friends know of this guilty pleasure, making me feel worse. Ah well. ---

Watching unthinkably insipid anime romantic comedies. Which is even more strange when you consider that I won’t come within fifty feet of the vast majority of live-action comedies. Oh, well. ::loads the next episode of “Happy Lesson”:: ---

Simultaneously reading romantic fanfiction, cruising the web (and Dope) and playing Freecell. I know I’m killing brain cells but I still do it. Foodwise, it’s queso and tortilla chips. Or maybe eating a tube of raw chocolate chip cookie dough with a fork. Mmmmmm, cookie dough… ---

Oreo cookies Cranberry juice and vodka, particularlly if **laurelann** is making it, as good it will be strong Smutty mystey novels like Janet Evanovich Curling up with a book when I should be studying Really good pizza And my current and pathetic guilty pleasure: a can of ice cold diet coke. It’s so much cheaper in the bottles, so that’s how buy it, but it’s better in cans. I will jump at the opportunity when someone offers. I’m lame, I know. ---

Hoarding a ridiculous amount of good marijuana and then not sharing it with my friends - I smoke alone. I don’t really feel bad, but the social pressure and the cannabis culture definitely encourage smoking others up. Because I’m no longer a source of free pot, some of my “friends” begin to see me as stingy and selfish. They probably weren’t friends in the first place. ---

> [@Moonchild](#): > > Femdom Porn. But classifying it as a guilty pleasure is like classifying the Grand Canyon as a hole in the ground. Oh, and Extreme Makeover Home Edition. ---

Skor candy bars, fried potatoes with onions, cheesy horror flicks and Everlast boxing shoes. I don’t box. I just like the shoes. ---

Not sure if it’s actually bad for me, but I like to go into town on the last shopping day before Christmas, get very mildly drunk (actually just have a couple of noce drinks to take the hard edges off the world) and wander about aimlessly, watching the frantic shoppers doing their desperate last-minute gift-buying. It’s a complete waste of time when I should be doing more important stuff, but I try to do it every year. ---

:smack: That’s ‘nice’ drinks; as far as I know, there isn’t a drink called ‘noce’, although if anyone knows different, please let me know and I might give it a try this Christmas eve. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-your-favorite-guilty-pleasure-in-life/301441.md?page=3)
