    Luckily, I do not fit into any of those categories, although I'm sure in my younger years I did a few of them!

    I have been guilty of trying to find a close parking space then going home and getting on my treadmill Don't do it now though, because I had to sell for treadmill ( oh I how I miss it! lol) but I still cruise for a close parking space..... just not for 10-15 minutes. If I can't find it the first go round, I'll walk. I can't imagine driving around for that long for a parking space. lol

    I have bought a funnel before till I read the soda bottle tip somewhere......... ( sometimes, my lack of creative thinking costs me $)

    I'd probably be guilty of the parking lot one but I drive a HUGE truck that needs two spots so I usually park way out at the end of the line so that people don't get mad and take it out on my truck!

    BTW, on the manure one, lol, some days I think my life is being overtaken with it! It is the BEST fertilizer and I actually enjoy grossing out the family with manure/garden tales.
