Everyone has a weakness of some sort, whether it be buying weird stuff one sees on late-night infomercials or ordering entire fast-food menus. This can extend to everything from music to daydreams, as a pretty normal part of being human is finding pleasure in things you would probably not admit to the folks around you.
Someone asked “What is a guilty pleasure of yours no one knows about?” and people spilled the beans. So get comfortable as you read through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your personal vices in the comments section below.

I leave for work earlier than I need to so that I can go to the harbour beforehand for a calming coffee and smoke with the view of the early morning mist rolling across the sea, and the early morning fishing charters leaving for the day.

I like to vividly imagine scenarios I'd rather be in. I'm a chronic daydreamer.

Cross stitching. I'm a nearly 20 year old man and I've spent hours at a time doing those damn samplers!!!
Walmart sold a cat kit that was very detailed and I finished it in maybe 2 months, its my magnum opus to this day.

I fantasize about living a happy life with a partner who is as happy about me as I am about them. Just someone to go do things with. 🤷🏼♂️.

I sometimes fantasize about just not being alive any more. I'm not going to take my own life or anything, but it's somehow comforting to imagine not having to carry around all the burdens that come with life.

I leave work once a week and go to a movie theater and have a 2 hour lunch of popcorn and soda while I watch a new movie.

Especially when it’s cold or there is some major weather event going on, I usually will just lie in bed and think about how nice it is to have my wife and kids safe and secure under one roof. I’m not an actual hard core prepper but I do think having food, water, supplies gives me a sense of comfort.

I daydream about leaving everything behind and disappearing. I would live in a camper somewhere out in Wyoming where it’s quiet and away from the daily noise that brings me down everyday.

Staying up all night. It's bad for me but sometimes I get obsessed with a book or something. .

I daydream about making enough money to be comfortable, owning my home, having a supportive partner and being happy. You know. Fantasy stuff.

Before bed, I often find myself imagining in detail how things might have turned out if I had made a different choice about something important from my past.

Besides my wife, no one knows my guilty pleasure is smelly stuff. I'm a dude but love me some scented candles.

I like to dance with my wife. By dance I mean traditional waltz (family makes us all learn, mother in law and my mom have been friends since kindergarten so she put her in the same class as me). She thinks I hate it because when we were kids I wouldn't stop growing so I was always stepping on her toes when we had to practice together.
I spent way too many years b***hing about the lessons for me to admit that I like it when she asks.

I love going to stores that sell junk and browsing. I love stores like At Home, Dollar Tree and Loves Truck Stops.
