other peoples' habits

This morning, I was pulling an overfull bag of garbage from my garbage can and I noticed two spare bags at the bottom of the can. The last garbage had been changed out by a party guest (what lovely guests--taking out the garbage). I used to take this extra bag approach when I was a lowly Taco Bell employee, but I never do it at home. The person even tucked the extra top part of the bag tidily into the garbage can--unlike me who justs lets the extra plastic hang loosely from the rim. It was a funny moment, this, encountering someone else's habits at my house. It made me feel a bit guilty for not being a more efficient, tidier housekeeper.
