I usually keep my comments on the technical side but I have to share this one. There was a bit of sleet in South Jersey last night so it took a few minutes to clear the windshield. I was about half way to work when a minivan pulled out and cut off a school bus. The van was weaving in the lane as …

Even dogs are brighter than this woman you witnessed. Dogs roll down the driver’s side window and put their heads out to see where they are going. They don’t have the driver’s side door half open. This way, the dog can keep both paws on the steering wheel while driving without holding the door ha…

Maybe the window wasn’t able to roll down, but at some point one should give in and call a cab.

It’s illegal in NH to drive with your windows not cleared, but even at that I occasionally see someone driving down the road with only a porthold in the wndshield to see out of. The best mechanic in history of the world cannot fix a loose nut behind the steering wheel.

It all boils down to laziness taking precedence over safety. Some people would rather take a stupid risk like this than spend four or five minutes scraping ice off their windows so they can see. Hopefully a police officer will see this and cite her for reckless driving. That ought to take her off…

In addition to laziness, there are also lots of people who do not believe in planning ahead, so maybe that brainless broad had somehow ignored the reality that winter brings ice, snow, and frozen windshields. Case in point: Years ago, I had a supervisor who never seemed to have an ice scraper in h…

Even if he’s too cheap to buy one, he could just stop by most any insurance agent’s office and steal one with the company’s logo on it. Some banks leave them out for free as well.

…but that would require actually doing some planning, which was something that this supervisor was not very good at. Want more evidence? Each year, despite many notices throughout the year from upper management about the absolute deadline for ordering office supplies under the present year’s bud…

THAT was funny! Thanks for the chuckle.

Now, I can laugh about it. However, working for this guy for…about 20 years…was frustrating on many days.

That story about the TRS-80 is a good one! Back in the early 80s a car dealer I worked for had to switch to computers much to is displeasure. His attitude was why do I need a computer when the composition book in the desk drawer has all the info that I need to know about the inventory. Tandy sent a …

@VDC:
how does that phrase go? “Poor planning on your part does not necessitate an emergency on my part”?
