Similar in concept to white guilt, tech guilt is a growing feeling among tech workers who are buying or renting homes and apartments made available by the eviction of socioeconomic minorities or the gentrification of "transitional neighborhoods" in major tech hubs like Silicon Valley.
Brad: Can you believe my studio apartment in the mission was Section 8 housing one year ago?! My rent is $4000/month! Oh well, I can afford it.
Jill: I hope you're feeling some tech guilt right now.

When overprotective parents guilt you into not going to the college you want to go. Oftentimes happens when the college is too far away. Used as a last ditch effort to get their kids to stay close to home.
You: I am dealing with such bad college guilt from my parents. They are really against me going to college in Florida but I want to go so bad!
Friend: You should do you what you want to do, it’s not their college experience.
You: You are 100% right, I should trust myself and not be guilt tripped into going where my parents want me to go,

When you are in a public bathroom and you have no intention of washing your hands after using the bathroom, until a random stranger comes in, at which point you wash your hands out of fear that the person will think you are a dirtball.
Ty was finished peeing, and a man walked into the restroom. He wasn't going to wash his hands, but since the other man was there, he walked to the sink for a guilt wash.

The money you get from your absent dad who can't be there for you everyday. The money he gives you for all the things you wanted that he couldn't buy those years ago before you had him in your life. Basically, it's daddy absent/issue money from biological dad's who can't always be there for their children.
Dad: Here's $20. Spend it on whatever you want.
Son: Wow! Thanks dad, I'll buy some bobux with this!
Mom to Dad: Stop giving him guilt money just because you're never around that much.
Son: Wow! Thanks dad, I'll buy some bobux with this!

When someone you hardly know/don't particularly like sends you a friend request on Facebook/My Space. Even though you don't really want to be friends, you feel obligated to accept the request.
Jen: Hey, I see on your Facebook page that you're friends with Bob now. When did this happen?
Sam: Face-guilt, man! I felt too bad rejecting the request.

1. The act of lashing out at another as a result of one's own guilt. 2. Justifying one's own misdoings by pointing out the actions of others whether true or not.
Simone was cheating on Chris. When she found out Chris was talking to another girl, Simone went ballistic with reciprocal guilt and accused him of all kinds of stuff even tho it wasnt true!!

A guilt sticker (or usually a packet of them) is included in non-profit promotional mailings designed to make the recipient feel guilty in the event that he/she does not donate. They often have photos of symbols (e.g. kittens) the recipient is likely to identify with, or are printed with the recipients address to serve as return-address labels for letters, or both.
"I put this Sierra Club guilt sticker on my notebook because I thought the wolf was cool. Now every time I see it I feel terrible that I didn't donate."
