When you automatically reach for the clutch in your personal vehicle and slam the brakes instead
shadowmib@reddit
My personal vehicle has a clutch LOL.
When I first get back home though I always reach for the dash instead of the column to start the pickup truck and then I go grab to get nothing. Trying to find an air horn that isn't there

You back into parking spots in your personal vehicle.

Backing my personal vehicle. I can't see shit

I always thought it was the ex- cons that called everyone boss. I had a friend that was a prison guard and he said all the convicts called him boss because it stood for big old sack of shit

I chewed someone out for calling me "boss". That term can go straight in the can. I'm more attune to the usual belittling terms.
Of course I thought it was some Texan or Southern thing. I'm from SoCal Soft Suburbs.

My neighbor calls me this.
I'm 99% sure he doesn't know my name.
It's been 2 years so I'm certain he doesn't want to ask. But I'll be outside having a beer and he'll say "what's up boss man" On his way into the house from work.

This has just been interactions at loading bays. I go out of my way to avoid the neighbors. I got a motorcycle and a pick-up truck in my driveway. But use my ebike to sneak off to work and back all the time.

Dispatcher is Boss, manager is Captain. Safety is Chief

Me and my dispatcher are besties..we even have a special handshake

I call people boss because I grew up going to NYC bodegas. I just lucked out finding a job where it sounds normal.
