CYOCS: Choose Your Own Case Shape

You get two options for case-shape here: rectangle or triangle.

Now, I gotta be honest, this feels like one of those times when the universe splits in two. Dramatic? Maybe. But have you ever experienced a moment like this? You have two options for how to proceed, and it seems like, whichever one you choose, the universe will re-arrange itself to ensure your choice was not just incorrect but wildly, stupidly incorrect?

In this case, I can:

A. Make fun of this choice of shape as something entirely superfluous, only to be told in the comments that I’m an abject moron for not understanding the difference in utility each shape provides. Or…

B. I could sincerely encourage customers to choose the correctly shaped bag-o-helpful-stuff for them, only to be told in the comments that I’m an abject moron for making a big deal out of something so superfluous.

So please, hop in the comments and tell me why I’m an abject moron: for thinking the shape doesn’t matter, or for thinking it does!

What’s inarguable, though, is that you’d be smart to have something like this in your car, whatever it looks like. It includes jumper cables, a bungee cord, gloves, a small first aid kit, and a whole bunch of other things that you hopefully won’t have to use ever (or at least not super often).

Furthermore, while it’s all widely available, none of it is the sort of stuff you want to have to go out and buy. Because the moment you need jumper cables or a bungie to hold down your smashed trunk en route to the body shop and/or mechanic is not the moment you want to head out to the AutoZone in the burbs. (Or, more accurately, it’s not the moment you want to text a friend asking for a ride to the AutoZone in the burbs, because your car needs a jump and/or a bungee cord to go anywhere.)

Our point is: get one and put it in your trunk. If you never use it, awesome! But if you don’t get it, you’ll be cursing yourself for not buying it when it was this cheap.
