another thing that makes me anxious

Today I went to refuel my car, and after paying for my gas, I remembered -
I better clean off my windshield while I am here.

I am not normally a windshield cleaner at the pump. Normally I am a completely neurotic person at the gas station. I am nervous that I will forget to put the cap back on, or that my credit card won't work and I will have to go talk to that scary dude with the long hair who works EVERY Friday and Saturday night.

But I do love a clean windshield, and whenever I manage to clean mine at the gas station, I realize how much fun it is to soap up my windshield with that exciting squigy tool.

But then I get carried away.

You know those people at the gas station that TAKE ADVANTAGE of the squigy tool and the windex fluid? Those people who are literally WASHING their cars with the stuff? Getting their side mirrors, front bumper, AND the doors, the back bumper.... the roof?

Yeah, that's me. It gets my adrenalin pumping.

Because I always do it as if I am committing some heinous crime and that the gas station attendant right then and there will look out and see me washing my car with the squigy and YELL AT ME ON THE INTERCOM.

It really freaks me out!
