Am I alone in saying that the phrase "raw dogged" needs to die?

Someone hit the spiked eggnog a bit too hard.

Almond udders may be smaller, but they're still udders.

Oh I do. I have quite a few Spotify playlists, including one that contains every track from every album I've ever owned, with a few hundred single tracks thrown in.
It's about 10k tracks in total, played on shuffle, and I still surf.

You wouldn't want to ride with me, then.
I generally don't secure the seatbelt until I'm moving forward. Not sure why, but I've always done it.

I'll mess with the rearview mirror often, as my position in the seat may shift, and I can't stand it when the view in the mirror isn't centered.

As for the radio... I channel surf like mad. 40 presets and I'll scan through them all before deciding on something that I never stay on very long. My wife can, not, stand it. lol But, the radio controls are on the steering wheel, so doing so isn't a distraction.

In the past, when I drove any of my vehicles that had a manual transmission, I had a habit of rattling the gearshift at stoplights. People who rode with me didn't like that either.

The rose-colored glasses you're wearing must have really thick lenses.
Anyone who thinks that this one act will change anything is out of their minds.

Giant corporations exist to make money to satisfy the shareholders and pay those at the top exorbitant paychecks. They don't give the first flying fuck about their employees or customers, and this one act isn't going to change a damn thing.

We all wish it will, but I'm sorry to say, but it won't.

This is likely the result of someone further up the chain, accidentally messing up a work-order, and the team doing the work just blindly doing what it says.

I can't stand people who work with blinders on and never ask logical questions even when they know the work being done is a stupid waste of time and resources.

I would have killed for 20Gb of space in 1999 on my personal PC. People ran with nowhere near that much space back then.

I was also the administrator of an HP mainframe at that time, and we ran the whole business on about 5Gb, and paid big $$$ for it.
