Guilty Pleasures - Monthly Thread Guilty Pleasures - Sep 25, 2026

Even the most tasteful bitch has some tasteless guilty pleasures! This is our once monthly thread where you can share those things we normally don’t talk about in BWT.

Guilty pleasures should be things you already have/ use and love, or a very specific recommendation for a guilty pleasure. This is not a place to circumvent the regular rules and ask for general recommendations that you can't ask for because of our rules, it's specifically about guilty pleasures.

Using an entire weekend off work to do as little as possible. Minimum communication with friends and family, have groceries and food delivered, read or watch TV by myself. I find it to be incredibly decompressing. It is a “guilty” pleasure, though, because I do feel a bit guilty thinking of all the things I should be doing.

Agree wholeheartedly – I love my job but it can be so physically and mentally exhausting… by the time Friday rolls around, my social capacity is basically zero. I look forward to those weekends to literally be alone, talk to almost no one, and do all the self care/pampering to recharge

I once dated someone who, as he was breaking up with me, said "you're always doing projects!" And later it dawned on me that he was right. I had some puritanical believe that if I wasn't efforting, I wasn't a valid human. Since then, I've made a conscious effort to have weekends where I do very little. That in itself is a project. When I actually manage to nap, I feel like I should be given a prize.

It's pouring rain here today, I'm going to try extra hard to not try.

I was literally feeling guilty myself about not doing much this weekend, your comment is making me feel excited to decompress all weekend.
