1.
When my boss goes 'can we just have a quick chat?'
2.
Trying to mingle/start conversations in social settings where I don't know anybody.
3.
Walking out of a store without buying anything!
4.
Drive in front of a police officer when I have no reason to be nervous.
5.
Driving in between two semi trucks on the freeway. Bonus points if one or both is carrying a bunch of logs.
6.
Answering the door. Sometimes I just don’t.
7.
At meetings when they say, “Ok, everyone, let’s go around the room and introduce yourself.” Even worse when they require stupid things like, “Include your favorite food and why you like it” or “Tell us why you’re here.” Uhhh…because it’s mandatory?
8.
Using my table saw. Even though I am a Carpenter.
9.
Calling off work
10.
Merging onto a busy highway
11.
Walking behind a woman on a quiet street.
12.
Walking over a storm drain with my keys in my hand
13.
Tuning my violin.
14.
Calling someone on the phone. I'm a fairly outgoing person and I love talking to people, but I rely a lot on seeing a person's face and observing their body language, which isn't possible on the phone. Voicemails are less terrible, but I still panic a little because if I mess up while leaving a message, the other person has a freaking recording of me being really awkward. I'm so thankful texting exists.
15.
Killing a spider
16.
When my someone says to me "can I be honest with you?" No, lie to me, please!
17.
Going into small businesses that I haven't been in before
18.
Climbing a ladder
19.
Parallel parking
20.
Any time I hand edit a database.
