This is interesting. I can really relate to the showering one. I am American but had Indian ayas and nannies and grew up showering at night. But my American sensibilities kicked in eventually and I found myself compelled to shower twice a day! Now I just opt for mornings. While I understand the whole sheet thing, I think being asleep for 8 hours makes you feel icky, if not dirty; how can you start the day feeling that way??

More too-true icons. I shower twice a day, sometimes four times during the summer. My wife has explained the rational of the before-bed shower. It makes sense, but I need a shower to wake up in the morning.

Queues, or lack there of, drive me mad. I’ve learned to jump into the fray, elbows extended. I think Darwin summed it up in his theory of survival of the fittest.
