pub guilt

The feeling when you've doggedly pursued a healthy lifestyle (for 1 day-forever) and then your work pals invite you for an afterwork drink... and you realise one pint will ruin everything.

Internal monologue: I really want to go out and have fun but I'm already feeling pub guilt - an internal dreading of huge amounts of calories and naughty additives that will ruin my attempts at being healthy.

I'll just go home - can't face the pub guilt.

I can't come out - I'm going to the gym. Best to avoid the pub guilt.

Face-guilt

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.

guilt sticker

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."

BETA Guilt

The half second of fleeting guilt an alpha male feels as he out lifts a once equal bro before his instincts kick in and he adds another plate his bench press to cement his pack leader status.

Out lifting my best friend left me with a ton of BETA guilt, but it had to be done.
