Now I know this won't apply to all of you, but one of my pet peeves in life deals with one tiny button. I'm speaking of the "Auto" power window button on the driver's side of almost every vehicle currently manufactured. What in the name of Lucifer is the purpose of this stupid button? I mean, have we gotten that lazy that we can't hold down a little button to put down the window in a car? Seriously?
That Auto-button has been the bane of many situations. Image traveling down the road on a nice bright sunny day. The big puffy clouds are sliding through the sky and the environment in your little space gets a bit warm. Now understand, this may be a fifty degree day and putting the window all the way down might get a bit chilly. So, you reach over and tap the button wanting it down just a crack. But no, the thing goes all the way down. So, you try to put it back up and the thing starts Auto all the way up. So, you either wait and let it go all the way up, or try to time the thing to get it to be just a crack down. Of course that never works, so it goes all the way up anyway.
Then, once it goes up you start all over again. Tap... Buzz... Nooooooo! Not again. Your blood pressure skyrockets, you veer off the midline to avoid an oncoming car, and then try to get this button to just let the window down a crack! Finally, you get it to go down just a crack. You're panting. You try to enjoy the feeling of fresh air rushing in. The sun comes out from behind that cloud. The cab begins to warm. In that auspicious moment, I stare down at that button wanting to put it down the window a couple more inches.
