4. Doing a mental dance in your head when your debit card approves

As long as it works, thats all that counts.

Not sure you if forgot to go shopping for toiletries or are just too poor.
7. Eating leftover Halloween candy for dinner

"I have a test tomorrow, sorry can't make it" or "I'm sick because I ate all that Halloween candy for dinner last night".
