Similar for what I was taught (except it was your hood visually touching the rear bumper of the vehicle in front).

Getting a blood test today and they are already 20 minutes late for my 8:40 appointment...
They've only be open 1 hour and are behind by at least 20 minutes already. What a disaster.

I mean if it's a 50 zone I don't bother, but if I am stopping at a red on the 1A I am going to take the precaution.

On that topic has anyone noticed a major uptick in spam phone calls the past few years? I keep blocking them but more keep coming.

Appointment now just means you're in the shorter walk-in line. You cannot wait more than 1 hour.
And don't stop too far back especially in the left-turn lane. Because now I'm the one going straight stuck behind all the cars that can't get into the left-turn lane.

Yes, and phishing texts. Strangely, some of the texts I get are from email accounts. Before Samsung enabled a block feature for those types of messages I was getting two or three of them a day.

The proliferation of the phrase "You got this!"
Every ####, cheesball sitcom, every garbage commercial. Barf.

That's not a recent development nor is it restricted to Dyna Labs. I've had the same thing happen numerous times under the old provider. And a few weeks ago the same thing at a clinic (not blood test). 7:30 am appointment (office opens at 7am) and the were running 20 minutes behind.

Screw that...they're packing heat, they should issue you a blindfold and a cigarette and maybe a 10 second head start.

You know that they're doing that just to mess with you right?

Imagine owning the grey eagle casino and being so bad at traffic control that you miss out on money because people are concerned on getting home.

We also need to ban the word "iconic".

But what if something is iconic? Like Fenway or Wrigley?

We're just going to have to bite the bullet on those, because the overuse has become incredibly obnoxious.

I find the "Let's go" over-use to be annoying.
Not sure when that started but dear lord.

yes and "brah", as some kind of reference to "bro". Listening to my kids or their friends use both "brah" and "lets go" makes me legitimately angry.
