If itâs from fresh, it is often more of a custard yellow.
hmm⌠not much. Especially since Iâve delligated ranting to Ill Will Press.
For some reason, every time my wife takes her car to the dealer, they switch the headlights from auto to off. And you pick up the car during daylight hours, so no reason to check then. When you go out later, between daytime running lights, and the LCD instrument cluster, it isnât that obvious your lights arenât on. I drove to the grocery store that way once, then realized as I was leaving that It wasnât lighting up other cars in the lot like it should. So at least once, I blame the dealer.

But also realize that people who also bring possible solutions get better year end reviews. Almost as good as those who just go get it done.
Better than 90% of the time, the problems they get brought to me I have been aware of, probably even had someone take a tilt at the windmill, and fail before.
So usually the discussion is what have you tried, what and when we last tried, brainstorming about what could be tried this time, and agreeing what they will try this time, and what support they need from me.
But yes, I would never suggest that they shouldnât bring their problems.

It encourages people to ignore problems.
Tons of articles and papers have been written lately how this is an archaic idea that needs to go away.
For one, Toyota also hates this idea.

Its nothing personal, I just donât like strangers talking to me. I even go so far as using headphones in stores now to avoid the issue.
That reply makes me wonder how much of my reply you read.
I pointed out that bringing solutions is generally better for your career.
I pointed out that usually management is more aware than you give them credit for.
I pointed out that even without bringing a solution, it can be an opportunity to plan a new approach to the problem, and try to minimize time sunk into repeating previous efforts.
And I pointed out that I donât use that phrase.
Then you come back with a rebuttal that looks like you think I support that phrase?

My related gripe is driving on I45 when traffic is bimodal. Half wants to go 5 under or slower, and the other half wants to go 10 over or faster. If you are in a section where you only want to go 5 over, you have no good options.
The other one is if I am stuck in the left lane waiting for a car doing 5 under to pass a truck doing 6 under, why am I not entitled to 2 car lengths of buffer between me and the car ahead? Why is that an invitation to pass on the right, and stuff yourself into that space? Do they even teach safe following distances in drivers ed any more?

Donâtâcha just hate it when someone in a leadership position has selective memory about stuff they should know, and selective proficiency at using everyday communication platforms?

And that also applies to âsomeone NOT in a leadership position who has selective memory about stuff they should know, and selective proficiency at using everyday communication platforms.â
People who stop in a parking lot to do something not driving related. E.g. Phone call, waiting for their kid, etc. However, they donât park in a parking spot! They just sit in a driving area blocking traffic through the lot. When there are plenty of spots available to park.
