Dear...
(One would think that the world's largest software company, with over a quarter century's worth of experience at producing error-free consumer software, could at least produce a simple audio player with software that wouldn't fail completely the first time it runs into a leap year.
At least the "fix" is simple, since you can't turn it off, anyway, just let the battery go completely flat to shut it down, then charge it back up again, good as new - however good THAT was...)
Dear Microsoft,
Testing is done BEFORE the product is released to the public by most companies, rather than using the paying customers as your beta-test force, and just waiting for the problems you know will be there to show up.
Then again, you don't really care.
You're Microsoft, you don't HAVE to.

Dear Old Lady,
I was the guy watching you try to back into that extra wide, empty parking slot in the store parking lot yesterday in your nice shiny gold Lexus.
The cars on either side of that empy slot appeared to have given you a lot of extra room by parking well away from the dividing lines.
That was probably because that big black Hummer that drove away had been parked there, and kind of slopped over into the adjacent slots...
Anyway, when you started backing in next to that nice blue car with the young lady sitting in it you probably should have stepped OFF the gas instead of adding more when you met resistance while backing.
What that resistance meant was that you were nearly half way into HER parking slot, and the passenger side of your shiny gold Lexus was in firm contact with the passenger side of her car.
It was amazing as I sat there afraid to honk or do anything else that might distract you for fear you would mash the gas and take out half the lot.
You left quite a long, deep path of destruction on her rear bumper cover, rear fender, rear door, and part of her front door as you slowly and carefully ground the side of your car against hers. Didn't you wonder at all the metal-to-metal noises?
Possibly your parking efforts normally make that noise, though, so you didn't sense the problem...
Gonna cost quite a lot to fix her car - and probably that much more to fix yours.
I'm glad you finally got out of your car and talked to the young lady.
She was understandably quite upset after inspecting the damage you did to her car, but that is understandable.
Sitting in your car ignoring her really wasn't going to work for you, but it did give me more than adequate time to write down the date, time, license numbers, what happened and assign fault on the back of one of my business cards before the young lady came over and asked if I would be a witness.
When you finally lined up on that parking spot again to give another shot at backing into it (why BACK in???) I quickly moved Vanilla another twenty feet away, just in case...
Lady, don't take this unkindly, but you had NO idea where the other side of your car was, and you just caused many thousands of dollars damage to property because of that failing.
If you do not have the situational awareness and control of your vehicle needed to operate it safely at 5 MPH in a parking lot, PLEASE call a cab and sell the car.
The others of us out here on the road beg it of you.

I can honestly say that would be a Holy $hi+ moment to watch........I wonder how many more years of driving I have left before I cannot do it anymore......at lest 2-4 years left right.
The good part is I am losing weight parking in the back 40 at every where I go to stay away from other cars.....the 1/4 mile walk to the building is paying off.

Dear Speedbumps.........
Now that I have put my stockies back on I know my car is a little bit lower than with the big boy 17s......but when I fill the gas tank up and drag my floor pan over you I must say you are rediculous......then to make my shiny exhaust can drag over you as well was just rude.Who would of thought 1/2 an inch lower was that much......goodness.

Dear person in the Land Rover.
Two solid days now you park your vehical next to me.......not just next to me......but so friggen close I cannot open my door......I cannot even get to the door to open it.SEriously......tape measure last night says 5 5/16" from my door to your door.And what is better is you parked at an angle so I have to try to manuver out around your big butt that is sticking into my spot a good 6 inches.......
I wish I still drove a beater car cause I would gun it in reverse and rip the ____ out of your entire vehical to get out.........
Aparrently you cannot drive and park a car,which is evident by my having to climb into the passenger side of my car to get into my car.
Keep it up buddy.........the note I left for you last night was polite........next time I will have your vehical towed out of the spot so I can get into my car........Jerk.
