Living alone is a recurring idea. Seinfeld often discusses the fact that he lives alone in this book, highlighting yet another theme of the book. Seinfeld talks in the chapter on Paldom about how he lives alone and is neat, a group of circumstances that leads some of his friends to think he might be gay. Seinfeld admits that he likes to live alone, likes to be clean, but did not like to clean in the chapter Out and Back. Seinfeld will often hire a maid, but the presence of the maid also makes him nervous, as though he should apologize for being messy. Seinfeld also mentions he does not like to wash a dinner plate that he does not use the entire surface of and that he will often put his cereal bowl and spoon away together so that he will not have to search for one or the other later.
