Men - your spouse makes more than you, is that a problem?

gitfiddleplayer @gitfiddleplayer (10362) • United States 11 Jun 08

Do you save birthday cards?

gitfiddleplayer @gitfiddleplayer (10362) • United States 28 May 08

Do you refill your water bottle after you've drank all of it?

gitfiddleplayer @gitfiddleplayer (10362) • United States 18 May 08
