one situation i've always found myself to feel awkward in is clogging the toilet at someone else's house. i'm not sure what it is, but there's something embarassing about the whole thing. one minute you're expelling excretory matter from your bowels and the next...you're wrestling with the toilet, making weird slurpy sounds.

habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time. --mark twain
