8. Unbuttoning your pants or loosening your belt at a restaurant after a particularly large meal.

9. Feeling justified in not saying anything to that girl from high school who is in the frozen food aisle at the same time as you, despite the fact you both clearly see each other and can literally feel the mortified tension of impending awkward small talk radiating off of the two of you (but seriously you guys weren’t really that close in the first place).
