preemptive driving

Overly-cautious driving after news of impending winter weather has been announced. Most frequently seen in southern United States urban areas.

Dude, would you please drive faster than 15 mph. The snow isn't due for another eight hours. Do not show me preemptive driving!

Preemptive Recycling

Stealing stuff ... often, very nice stuff, usually from work.

May include but is not limited to office supplies, computer parts, food and drink.

The justification is that the item(s) would have been thrown out anyway at some point so you're just going with the trend and saving the planet by recycling them a little "early".

Geek 1: "Check out my Blu-Ray rewriter"

Geek 2: "Oh, cool ! Where did you get it ?"

Geek 1: "Er ... it came from work ... I indulged in a bit of preemptive recycling ..."
