What's your favorite guilty pleasure?
We all have days where we feel like crap. Those days are also usually the days where our bosses expect the most out of us and we need a pick up. Sometimes it's as simple as just going home and plopping down on the couch, but sometimes we do something stupid to make ourselves feel better. What do you do to cheer yourself up that would embarrass you to no end if your friends knew about it? Do you get in your car and listen to crappy music on the radio? Do you open a bucket of ice cream and watch a terrible movie/tv show? Do you do something else?
Sometimes, when I've had a terrible day at work/school, I'll get in my car and listen to Ke$ha. Embarrassing, yes, but the stupidity of her songs make me feel better. After a while, once I'm feeling better, but still need a bit of a pick up, I'll just drive around and come up to cars with "gangstas" in it where they're blasting hip hop and I'll put in Ke$ha really loud and watch their reactions. Priceless. I've also done that w/ Barbie Girl.
Also, for those of you who will inevitably try my idea, you have to do one of two things.
1. Look completely serious when playing the music and when the look at you like something's wrong, just look completely cool and nonchalant about it. Give them the little "What's up" head movement and watch the shock develop.
2. Go all out. Do the stupidest dance you can in your car with the biggest, goofiest smile on your face. You'll probably get a bit of a different look, but this one works with everybody in traffic.
Um... Ok. I like ice cream.
@captainsuperdawg: I salute you! Do you do it wearing shades and pop your collar? If not, I think it'll be something to consider!
When I am feeling crappy, I check out woot to see if there's anything I can buy. It makes me feel good when I am getting something I don't need without hurting my pockets.
@captainsuperdawg: i do something similar but with billy squier - minus the dancing - i do, however, enjoy doing my funkiest dance in the car when i pick my son up from school - for some reason he gets made at me every time though!
I'm a porn man myself.
I never feel guilty about my pleasures.
@jsimsace: Two things. One, those are the same questions in the links you posted. Two, I'm sorry that I didn't check like I should have, but it's no worse than the 4,000 "How did you get your username?" questions IMO, so why don't we just keep this between the two of us, okay? (I won't tell if you won't)
@underinsomnia: When I'm being all serious, I'll wear my sunglasses, but I don't wear collared shirts often, so I can't pop said collar. If I'm being a crazy idiot dancing, then the shades come off and I get this weird enthusiasm in my eyes which only serves to freak them out even more. Now that I think about it, I've actually done the dance from White Chicks with the actual song and a little bit more added to the dance.
The clip if you've never seen White Chicks:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEeQyX7L5DU
@gretchena: I don't see why he'd be mad, Billy Squier rocks, although it would be kinda weird to hear your mom singing "The Stroke". Oh well.
@gmwhit: Well then get off this question, it says "Guilty pleasures". If you don't stop posting non-guilty things, then I'm gonna tell on you! I know you can't see it, but my hand is raised so I can tell the teacher. It's hard to type one-handed, but I'm doing it. You just wait until I get called on.
@captainsuperdawg: Ha! Now I'm feeling very deep guilty pleasure at displeasing you, mr./ms. tattletale. :-D and :-p
@gmwhit: [puts hand down] It's ok, teacher didn't call on me yet. Also, it's mr. tattletale, just for the record. My arm was getting tired anyways ;-)
@gregorylikescheapstu: Some embarrassing ice cream flavor maybe? Like garlic? Leather? Salt? Chicken? Beef? Bacon (that's not embarrassing, that's just awesome)? Or are you saying that you like like ice cream? Not judging here bro, just curious.
@captainsuperdawg: I saw two different "same" questions, and wasn't sure which one I had linked first, so I made a bad guess for the second link. Thanks for checking, though...I try to make my references accurate...my bad on this one. I agree that it is no worse than the duplicate questions that you mentioned. Rules are rules, but mods are mods, so...peace out. Continued happy wooting to you!
Guilty Pleasures can be dangerous. For the longest time I would have answered "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. Now that's what I secretly answer to myself when asked what my favorite song is.
Can you feel it, baby?
@captainsuperdawg: Oh you really don't want to know what I would do for an ice cream treat. Plausible deniability and all.
I nice big tin of dip. Wintergreen. Mmmmmmmm :)
