When I saw those slobs throw their McDonald's trash out the car window, my eco anxiety started to kick in.
I threw a tiny scrap of paper in the trash; I later went back to retrieve it and placed it in the recycling bin. Call it my eco anxiety!

Get the eco anxiety mug.An anxiety disorder characterized by extreme self-consciousness in normal social situations, including the fear that one is being judged or observed by all those around them.

People with social anxiety disorder know that their fear is irrational and yet still avoid any situation in which they may be evaluated or judged.

Get the Generalized Anxiety Disorder mug.An affliction of males characterized by unusual behaviours in the men's room. Urinal anxiety is manifest in the actions of a man who walks into the men's room and heads directly toward the urinals, but -upon seeing another man already standing at a nearby urinal- immediately changes course for the stalls. Urinal anxiety afflicts a substantial number of males who have a phobia about pissing in a location where another male might notice their schlong (as if other males would have an interest in someone else's schlong...). The most extreme form of urinal anxiety is usually seen in locations using the old "trough" urinals often placed in ball park restrooms. The afflicted male approaches the other happy, piss-spattering companions, pulls his dick out, and... and... and... (after a long delay) zips his dick back up, unable to urinate, and shame-facedly departs the restroom unsatisfied.
Damn, Frank never uses the urinals. The other day he went into the women's room at the ball park to avoid the trough. I think he's gripped by urinal anxiety.
