1. Stall Stress: When there's no toilet paper...and it's too late.
2. Dress Stress: When you're trying something on that is too tight, and you can't easily get it off. You start sweating and wriggling and doubling over in the dressing room. By the time you're safely out of the article of apparel, you're genuinely afraid of it.
3. Store Stress: When you get to the cash register and:
a) realize you don't have your wallet, or
b) your credit card is rejected, or
c) you have to write a check and hold up the line.
Another version: When you have a full cart of groceries and a tantrumming child you've threatened to carry out of the store. It's so hard to abandon those groceries; it's so hard to endure the stares and sighs.
4. Stylist Stress: When your haircut starts looking bad, but it's too late to say something, so you struggle to maintain small talk with your hairdresser whilst cringing inwardly.
5. Sent-Message Stress: When you're pretty sure you just sent that email/text to the wrong person.
6. Steering-Wheel Stress: When you're lost, and your navigator's directions to "turn west" so don't help because you've made 13 turns in 10 minutes (and it's dark or high noon).
7. Stain Stress: When you spill coffee on your shirt and then blot it with a wet towel and now you have a coffee stain bordered by a water stain and the compulsion to explain it to everyone you encounter.
Similar: Blemish Stress
8. Lost Keys Stress: Self-explanatory.
Similar, in needing no explanation: Doctor's Appointment Stress.
9. School Stress: So many options! Pick one.
10. Sunday-Night Stress: When you can't enjoy part of the weekend because it's Monday Eve.
