Those would be quite a few. Let's start off with a day. In the morning you get up and gargle your mouth with a mouthwash which is good many percent alcohol. Alcohol is one organic compound. You light up the kerosene lamp (ok, just imagine yourself at a cottage in the woods). Kerosene is an organic compound just like all the oils.
Then you turn the gas on the stove (the gas is methane from the alkane family) and fry your eggs in vegetable oil (organic compound!). Well, basically, all foods are organic compounds (except salts and condiments etc.) but I think you want more organic compounds that you read about in chemistry. So, you are done with breakfast and start up your car. Now your car runs on gasoline which is a derivative of petroleum and a mixture of organic compounds including a fraction of octane which makes it better quality fuel.
You have a great day at work and want to celebrate so you bring home a bottle of wine, which is alcohol and that, my friend, is organic! Now something to massage your tired feet. How about some petroleum jelly? A long known friend of people who like moisturized skins, this product is also a derivative of crude oil and an organic compound.
So, you see how we use organic compounds all through our days. I am sure if you look around your home or workplace just once, you are going to find many of such compounds that we use in our daily life. That would actually add quite a lot many compounds to the list so do skim your eyes over your surroundings one or think about all the things you use in a day and the possibility of them containing any organic compounds. How about reading the labels on the products? Hope you find a treasure of organic compounds!

Modern society could not exist without organic compounds, organic compounds are everywhere from drugs to polishes, pesticides to inks. Cars we use need oil to put into the engine it is a mixture of organic molecules designs to extend engine life. In society organic compounds are in a variety amount of things such as plastics, paints, and dyes and also coatings on your household wiring and so on they are all organic. The modern world and modern society would exactly crush to a stop without organic molecules.
