Why must I live my life like George Costanza?
I was just at the bakery to buy buns, I actually stopped going to this bakery because the girl who operates the till never uses tongs, which to me is gross.
So today when I went in there to buy three buns, I asked her to use tongs because one of the persons eating the buns has a compromised immune system.
I feel like such a weirdo.

Let's hear your Costanzaesque moments.

1. Actually, that's more of a Jerry Seinfeld moment.

2. I was just thinking the same thing!
But George is also very particular about the way he wants things.

Actually George reminds me more of myself than any other character I've seen on TV! I think I have his selfishness at times (to wit: I can totally understand his wanting to know what the psychic's warning was about as he accompanied her gurney into the delivery room!)

5. I am a "George" type character myself
if I had to pick a character on seinfeld closest to myself, it would be George, who is based on Larry David, who now does "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on HBO (which is an incredibly funny show in it's own right)

7. That could also be considered a David Putty moment...
Considering his germophobia.;)
