Yeah excaliber got it right. The cars are numbered to organize the fleet, but we are referred to by our unit identifier which is a combination of our shift (day night evening) and our sector.

There have also been emails sent out with all sorts of confessions. I got one today which said the officer wanted to email us and let us know he always wanted be a star in a musical.

The motto is always log out.

At a previous job, a coworker did that if someone in our group didn't lock their computer when they left the room, even if they were only gone a minute to the coffeemaker down the hall. He usually sent something like "I'm feeling frisky" to the group alias for our counterparts in NY, but pity the fool who went to lunch and forgot to lock their computer.

Your coworker would not have liked the consequences if I had been one of "his" victims and could prove "he" did that to me. I take such things as something other than a joke and respond accordingly.

There was an (ex)coworker of mine (The Idiot) who used to always ask another coworker (Nice Guy) if he (The Idiot) could use Nice Guy's laptop to check Facebook, which was fine but he'd never log out. Nice Guy kept asking & reminding & telling him to log out, but it never worked. After probably five or six months of this, my coworkers decided that action was needed, steps had to be taken, and Facebook statuses were in dire need of updating. Also, I changed his language from "English" to "English (Pirate)". And to top it all off, we had told him we'd do something like that if he didn't start logging out, we asked him about where he'd logged in recently without logging out, suggested that it was probably somebody(s) he knew just pulling a prank on him and that he should think about who might do such a thing, did everything short of handing him a signed a confession, and he never figured out it was us! As far as I know he still thinks somebody hacked his account.

There are some things I've done in life that I feel guilty about; things that I have regrets over; deeds that I wish I hadn't done. But changing his Facebook language is not one of them.

No wife, but they solve that problem with a vehicle option. It memorizes the placement of the seat, mirrors (excepting the rearview on the windshield) and gas pedal. When set up properly and you click your key fob they move to the appropriate positions.

Then I'd have a car payment...yuck.

I got in a lady's car once to pull it forward when I worked at a carwash. The seat and steering wheel began returning to their preset positions. She was 5'0"ish, I'm 6'4". Felt like that scene in Star Wars: ANH when the trash compacter walls start closing in.

Fortunately they backed off when I turned off the vehicle, allowing me to adjust them from a safe position.
