Seatbelt Situation

A scenario that feels unnecessary 99% of the time — until that 1% shows up.
- Backing up my files always felt unnecessary... until my laptop died.
That’s a seatbelt situation in action.

- Q: "Why do you keep a flashlight on every floor?"

A: "It’s a seatbelt situation. One time the power went out while I was in the basement — I tripped three times trying to find the one upstairs."

- Most people only learn what a seatbelt situation is the hard way.
I’d rather not wait for the lesson.
