I’m wearing two different kinds of socks today. They’re both white, and they both have vertical ribbings. But one is in sets of 6 ribs and the other is sets of 8 ribs. I control my destiny. I am my own fashion statement. I’m too lazy to dig further into the laundry basket. ---

Honestly, if anyone calls my boss about this, I’ll be forced to quit lickety split. BUT. I think this lipliner is more than one shade off from my lipstick. I’m going straight to the cults. ---

I have, on occasion, opened a package at the end that says “open at other end”. Sometimes, when the voice says “leave a message after the tone”, I don’t. And once, I squeezed the Charmin. ---

Hah! This past weekend I removed the tags from the pillows and mattress and I added bleach directly to the water in the washer instead of using the dispenser. This morning I drove through a parking lot to avoid a traffic signal and then when I got to work I parked in “visitors” parking. And I’m wearing underwear with holes in them. ---

The ladies will be mad at me for this one, but as I recall, I did forget to put the seat down on the stool this morning. Not to mention my wife being mad! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/reckless-living-not-for-impressionable-children/138869.md?page=2)
