100 BCOL Revelations

Inspired by reading others' lists, here's mine:

2. I can make a really high-pitched MEEEEEEEP sound. Those that have heard it, cringe, plug their ears, and beg no when they think I'm going to do it.
3. I don't believe in leasing cars. I purchase and pay off my cars, then drive them until they occupy too much of my thought with repairs.
