Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax

Parking cars, dumb dumb, what else does one do in a car park?

I had a training class today, taught by a vendor who just sold us some new software. It was pretty much 85 minutes of how to use every Windows-based software released since, what, 1985? and five minutes on the peculiarities of this particular program.

To create a new file, click on File, then select New. Imagine!

And the things they do with right mouse clicks these days!

But it was all harmless until people started asking the vendor questions that had more to do with our internal policies, because the vendor said "Let's parking lot that question for someone in the company to answer later."

I thought: He did not just use parking lot as a verb.

The second time, I though: Good God, he did use parking lot as a verb.

The third and every subsequent time, I thought: I'm going to strangle him with his mouse cord.
