inTried cranking 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman and got emotional at a red light
Yeah, that's exactly it. For me it was "The Night We Met" by Lord Huron. I was driving home from a rough shift and just pulled over in a grocery store lot. Sat there for a solid ten minutes, letting the whole thing wash over me. It hit me how much I'd been holding in, and @carr.brooke you're right, those quiet songs are the loudest when you finally let them be.

inStopped thanking people for holding the door after a trip to Chicago
That's a good way to put it, cutting out the robotic exchange. I've noticed the same thing in my own city, except people here will actually get annoyed if you don't say thanks. So you'd end up stuck in an awkward standoff if you tried the quiet hold.

inBought a $200 sod cutter off Craigslist. Huge mistake.
Man, that Craigslist gamble never pays off with yard equipment. I'd bet money the seller knew it was on its last legs too.
