Oh, the Guilty Pleasures People Have

Guilty pleasures are something one enjoys despite the notion that it's not held in high regard, or is viewed as unusual, socially unacceptable, or just plain weird.

One of my guilty pleasures is hurkle-durkling.

For the record, Hurkel-Durkle is a Scottish term for lounging in bed long after its time to get up. Have you ever done this?

Keeping track of spending makes some people happy. I know that sounds crazy but it's true.

Counting patterns pleases some people who could tell you how many tiles there are in their bathroom.

Some people eat colored cereals according to their shade: first green, then yellow, and finally orange.

Eating a piece of bread in circles can be a guilty pleasure.

Fundamentally, guilty pleasures are still pleasures. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Here's eight no-guilt guilty pleasures that we all love...

1. Social media stalking

2. Ordering takeout when you run out of groceries.

3.Playing app games before bed.

4. Knowing the ins and outs of celebrity gossip

5. Putting things in your online cart and never buying them.

6. Binging on reality shows.

7. Wearing pajamas all day.

8. Giving your pet a pep talk.

Why Guilty Pleasures?

Because the activities or habits that bring us joy can also makes us feel slight shame. Maybe you don't want people to know you hold long conversations with your pets.

The truth is these types of indulgences make life more fun and bearable when your bogged down by the chaos in our society.

As it stands, I would caution people with guilty pleasures to not let them get out of hand - like hoarding for example.
