5. Hoping you get a pimple in a discreet place so you can pop it.

We do everything we can to prevent zits on our face. They look terrible and leave us feeling very self-conscious. However, deep down, we love pimples. They are like popping those bubbles in packaging wrap, except popping a zit has a free prize inside. The moment of relief you feel when that bump of disgusting oily infection explodes between your fingers is unlike any other feeling, ever. Maybe the closest thing would be landing on the moon, or winning a gold medal. Popping a huge pimple is my gold medal. A black head is a silver medal, and a splinter is the bronze. Nobody wants the bronze.
4. Searching for a huge chunk of wax in your ear.

Sometimes a Q-tip just doesn't get the job done, and your pinky finger or little toe are just way too large. That's when you get creative. That's when you find the paper clip and you do what is necessary. You search.
I'm pretty sure most doctors would agree that blindly placing a small metal object into your ear canal looking for something to remove, is a smart idea. I once found a Tic-Tac in my ear. What if I hadn't found that? That could have been very dangerous. And it was only moments after I put a Tic-Tac in my ear.
3. Guessing how much you left in the toilet and then looking.

Forget Monopoly and Scrabble, America's favorite game is "How much no. 2 did I just make?" We all play it, some of us who eat a lot of bean dip, play it several times a day. And it's not as easy as it would seem. It can be very tricky. You have to develop some real skills to be good at this game. I've gotten pretty good at it, but that's only because of practice and strategy.
You have to have a system to be good at this. You can't always tell if you made a lot or a little just from feel. I ask myself these questions before I look:
- "What have I eaten since the last time I did this?"
- "How much of a splash, if any, did I feel on my cheeks?
- "What was the reaction of the Chinese lady (the one I pay to watch me) after I made?"
Usually I can take these clues and make and educated guess. But, then I'm still wrong like half the time, and sometimes it just looks odd. I should probably see a doctor.
