Many people in my line of work do not share my attitude, and many of my coworkers are grouchy and complain they're overworked. They do just enough to get by, and are generally rude to the users (but, not always).

I am in my early fifties, and have been in the business most of my career. I have worked at only two different companies, and have had a great life, even the long days that turned into late nights/early mornings.

I would definitely say I am addicted to being useful.

There are also very affordable "license plate flippers" which, at the push of a button, rotate both your front and rear plates to different plates.

Both of these methods are likely illegal for driving, but may be legal when parked on private property.

I made the design my own by mounting the transformer to a 4x4 piece of scrap plywood, and then cutting out two square 'finger pads' from a tin can, and screwing those into the plywood also.

Add in some wire, a switch, a battery, and a little patter, "place your two fingers on the shiny pads and this will make music....using your mouth as the speaker" and your parents get a call from the principal.

Honestly, I always thought I was the only one who did this. My dad was a practical joker with a sense of humor that only he understood.

My dad died last February. This was a wonderful memory that made me smile. Thanks Hacker News for two memories in a weeks time!
