I'm really kicking myself for this. My first semester in college I worked part-time at a corner store near where I lived (with family). I quit after four months because I got paranoid about selling cigarettes - apparently one of the tobacco companies had sent a kid to do a check, and I'd accidentally sold to a minor. I probably wasn't in any danger criminally, because I was told the cigarette companies use "old kids" (i.e. a year younger than legal) whereas the cops use 13/14 year olds and are pretty obvious about it. Still, I got paranoid and started carding so much that people were fairly regularly bitching me out about it and I couldn't take it anymore.
I wish I had kept that job now, since the constant pressure I feel about my debt now is probably worse than "normal" job stress back then.
