So does that make it ($) 100,001 reasons?

Are you not amused?
If a water bottle is an in cab distraction, then the DIAD is an in cab distraction and UPS must move it to the rear of the package car NOW! This ofcousre will mean we have to open the bulkhead door each time we return to the package car, but its all about safety. So what if it slows us down SAFETY FIRST right UPS?

For what it's worth, I had an on-area today. He didn't mention my water, and I didn't have a towel out. I keep my phone and lip balm in the old diad holder. He said watch out for those. They're distractions. They don't distract me. I just don't like toting them and they'll melt in the package compartment.
Mr hubrat got scolded for his towel.
You know, I don't mind the strictness, even the militance. What I mind is being treated as if I have poor judgement. It's very disrespectful.

It's out of reach in the newest cars I've seen.

Its not out of reach on mine, so that means they better get on the ball and fix it, otherwise I am putting my DIAD in the rear for safety.

Slow & steady wins the race.
You forgot to mention that his cubicle is air conditioned. He has no clue what it's like to do our job. Just like our wonderful CEO, no doubt a brilliant business man, but he is out of touch with the workforce. I would so like to see him on "Undercover Boss"!!

My on-car drove for 15 years. He is fully aware of what we go through out there.

Your on-car is a puppet on a string. He's not the one making decisions.

If sweat runs into your eyes while the vehicle is in motion, it could prevent you from properly seeing the road, another vehicle or even pedestrian and perhaps cause an accident.
I believe all of the key phrases would apply, leave yourself an out, aside.
That would also apply well with drinking cold fluids to keep you hydrated, which is impossible when your beverage is trapped in a 150F compartment. "Expect the unexpected", aka dehydration.

My on-car has 15 months left before retirement. He could care less about making decisions.

Safety is not a one way street, after all.

You are right. I agree that not being able to have a water bottle and sweat rag handy is a directive handed down by someone who doesn't have a clue; however, my contention is that it is possible to wait until you can safely take a drink or wipe your brow.

It didn't even reach 70 here yesterday.
I am nervously sweating walking my daughter down the aisle next Saturday.
Wow, that came fast. Time does fly.It'll be a great day!

Hopefully as she has become somewhat of a Bridezilla lately. I'm sure it's just nerves but the littlest things seem to set her off. A simple change to the seating chart and a menu change for the rehearsal dinner set her off.

Upstate sweats excellence, therefore it would be a crime to wipe it onto a dirty rag.

Maybe, she's re-thinking what-his- name? After all, dads know best!
