    How about a Gym memberships or Times Square on a sunny summer afternoon?

    16. Your own way

  4. meg Says:

    I’d add “shame spiral” and “well”.

  5. meg Says:

    Oh, and timeshares.

  6. Kieran Says:

    I would also add conversations with the Jevoh’s Witness’s when they come to my door. I can never ignore or close the door of them.

    caught in bed with someone else…and a straightjacket.

    too funny! mailing lists

  9. Tara H Says:

    This is only 14 things… I want my 15th thing! I suppose it could be… “annoying comments from your blog readers?” heehee

    I’m on crack, Tara. Here, I changed the second instance of “cell phone contracts”…

  11. Danielle Says:

    Love this list :)

    I wanted to say gym memberships, but I see that Kieran already came up with that one. So, instead I will say it’s difficult to cancel your home water delivery. We recently did it, and it was a surprisingly complicated process.

    Too true…

  14. Jen Says:

    a caffeine addiction

    I was rather surprised that beanbag chairs was on the Easiest to get into list but not the HARDEST to get out of list. After all you can fall in one but it is dang hard to claw your way out. I am surprised I didn’t suffocate in one during the 1970’s.
