Liking something but never watching/using/doing it

[RicoTubbs]

I have clothes that I really like but never wear. The only explanation I can come up with is that I'm mentally saving them for some special occasion. So the clothes that I wear most frequently are generally the clothes that I'm not crazy about.

Same thing with wine. I've got a small wine fridge full of wine, some of it pretty good, some of it run-of-the-mill. When I get a bottle of wine, I usually don't even consider getting a good bottle. Apparently I'm saving them for some undefined occasion. The wine critics from the Wall Street Journal invented "Open That Bottle Night" to address the fact that lots of people do the same thing. So at least I'm not the only idiot out there.
