A garage I can convert, awkward layout I can reconfigure, etc.

I can be in crowds who I'm very familiar with, but with strangers, I can be awkwardly reserved. 

This seems easier with meals, hotels or rental cars where there is a per day cost that is easily calculated.Also, not to create an awkward situation, but it seems you both have a different take on whether the value of reward points are deductible (I spent ~21,000 points on Southwest and the ticket purchase would have been ~$250).
