• Even though I’m in my full right to do it, I feel guilty putting my seat all the way back on an airplane. I feel bad for the person behind me.

• I have a frequent concern of overstaying my welcome, especially if it’s someone I don’t know well enough to trust that they’ll just tell me it’s time to go if they have to.

• The reason I haven’t written about my experience with the personal shopper is because I fear people will see how much I paid for it and judge me, or make some wrong assumptions.

• I find the “calf massage” part of a pedicure sort of creepy. Young asian lady at my feet, methodically stroking my leg over and over again, her eyes staring past me, glazed over. Just. Creepy.

• My Corporate Amex card has an expiration date of 9/11. And I can’t take it anymore. I’m calling them to change the date to anything but that.

• I troll Craigslist and eBay for gift certificates.

• I feel really awkward saying “sorry,no” to a homeless person asking for money, and then going into a store and buying something, especially if it’s food. I’ve altered my destination a few times because of this.

• I’m not sure I really like coffee. I think I might just like the ritual of it all. “Look at me, I’m a big boy now. I’m going to give you the money that I made at my big boy job, and then I’m going to walk with this beverage in a cup to my office. I have things to do!”
