I know this is crazy. I know it’s bizarre. I know I may even face ridicule. But THIS is something I feel I must confess. I’d hate to leave this earth without anyone knowing the truth about me so I’m saying it now to let it forever be known.<\/p>\n

My taskbar is on the left side of my Windows desktop and I use the “AutoHide” feature. There I said it. I feel like such a freak. I’ve never seen anyone else using a similar setup. Granted I haven’t seen everybody’s desktop, but I don’t have to. I’ve seen the pictures<\/a> and the screen captures<\/a>, I don’t need to show you all the lurid<\/a> details<\/a> (details 1<\/a>, 2<\/a> and 3<\/a>) again<\/a> and again<\/a>. All you conformists with your always-on bottom-screen taskbars, and your widgets, and your other fiddle-de-dee just gobbling up precious screen real estate like there’s no tomorrow. Such conspicuous consumption saddens me. o<:-( \n\nAs proof to the rarity of my circumstances I used none other than Google.com to perform a comprehensive search of the internet for the most relevant term (“windows taskbar” “left side” autohide “leprechaun monkey”<\/a>*) and found that there were absolutely NO relevant results! I stand alone on the “windows taskbar” “left side” autohide front!<\/p>\n

Has my admission provoked you? Do you think you might be a “left-sider-auto-hider”? Do you know somebody who is? If you did, would you admit it? Now is your chance people. Speak up! Don’t be forever relegated to the darkest depths of the internet with the rest of the leprechaun monkeys. Stand up and be heard! Speak your minds you magnificent bastards!<\/p>\n

(*) The term “leprechaun monkey” was used to enhance search results. Why “leprechaun monkey” you ask. Because the search for (“windows taskbar” “left side” autohide leprechaun<\/a>) actually produced a result and that was not to my liking. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
