What Seinfeld Episodes Remind You of Your Life? Parts I and II

Oh Seinfeld, what a great show you were. I think one of the reasons why Seinfeld was such a big hit was that you could see a lot of your own life in each episode. Even for those of us who don't live in New York, we can still see Seinfeld-ian humor all around us. So this begs the question: what Seinfeld episodes remind you of your own life?

I'll start off the discussion by sharing some examples of the intersections of Seinfeld and my life. If you are having problems recalling the episode, fortunately someone took the time to catalog all of the episodes on Wikipedia, which you can access by going here.

P.S. Becky - I hope nothing in your life reminds you of "The Junior Mint" episode!

Part I - The Reverse Peephole

One of the plot lines in this episode involves George's overstuffed wallet that is so full of junk that it explodes at the end of the show. Every time I see this episode it reminds me of my dad, who has as far as I know the biggest wallet known to mankind. At times it appears to be violating some law of physics, like it is the Tardis of wallets or something. I really don't know what he keeps in there but it is huge. How huge, you ask? Let's just say that all of my dad's pants and shorts have a stretch-mark outline of the wallet in the back pocket.

Part II - The Fusilli Jerry

This is the episode where Kramer mistakenly gets license plates that read "Assman." At work I get to scan over a ton of client names, and last week I ran into a client whose last name was actually Assman. It turns out that there are actually a number of clients who share this name. I can't get into details for privacy reasons, but I found this pretty amazing.
