"Bought something on sale you didn't need because it was on sale"
You saved 40%. You spent 100% of the original price on something you had no plans to own.
The Catalog · All sins
Money
Financial transgressions committed in broad daylight: the unnecessary sale item, the precisely split bill and the personal coffee on the company card.
"Split a bill down to the exact cent and sent a Venmo request"
"Your share is $14.37." The math was precise. The friendship was slightly less so.
"Used the "I'm between paychecks" excuse every single week"
At some point, the paychecks overlap. The calendar has noticed.
"Subscribed to the free trial and forgot to cancel"
They were counting on you to forget. You did not disappoint. The charge was a scheduled inevitability.
"Bought coffee every day while "saving money""
The spreadsheet and the latte exist in direct opposition. One of them wins every morning.
"Tipped 10% and felt fine about it"
The math worked out for you. The server did not do the math the same way.
"Lent money with the words "don't worry about it" and worried about it"
"Don't worry about it" is aspirational. The worry was always there. It just had better manners.
"Put a personal expense on the company card "just this once""
The coffee was $4.75. The silence about the coffee was $4.75 and a small ongoing anxiety.
