What is sticker shock?
The feeling of stunned distress and horror upon seeing that your homies have applied dozens of adhesive labels all over your body while you were asleep, either because your mates simply are a**h**es, or they resent your taking a snooze while they're all slaving away in da hot sun. Extra points if they took the time to write separate derogatory/sarcastic messages on each of said labels, so as to get in a little extra "dig" at you each time you peel one of them off and read the acrdily-insulting comments scrawled on each label.
I woke up in my dorm room to find myself covered in labels with snide messages like "Sleeping Beauty's black-sheep bro", "Have a good nap, Prez Reagan?", "Goldilocks is in for a rude awakening when da Bear Family returns", etc. --- talk about sticker-shock!

In Alaska everything is imported so prices are higher resulting in early sticker shock.
