I think I’d say two thousand three; but am not at all sure. So voted other.
Back at the turn of the millennium, I really wanted the years to be pronounced “twenty oh one”, “twenty oh two”, etc. It would be consistent with how we say “nineteen oh one”, “nineteen oh two”, etc. and it wouldn’t require a change in style at some point, because we’re not going to continue with the “two thousand” crap for the whole century. But my clearly logical preference was ignored and everyone said “two thousand one”, etc. until we gradually and inconsistently migrated to “twenty XXX” sometime around 2010 I guess, although not everyone is consistent on the year that the change happens.
I posted the poll because we are a quarter of the way through the century and I was wondering when it will be normal to say just '03 or '15 without referencing the century. Of course, I don’t reference the 20th century when I say I graduated high school in '72 so maybe it will happen when we start saying 1972 instead to make the distinction.
Have we learnt nothing from the millennium bug incident ?!
I say “aught-three”.
When I was in college in the 1970s, my roommate said he was looking forward to the 21st century so that he could say things like “aught three” and sound like some old-timey geezer.
As I was reading the poll in my head, I “heard” myself “saying” 2-thousand-and-3. So, that was my answer.
I think we were kinda pre-programmed to say it that way since 2001 A Space Odyssey. No one says Twenty Oh One A Space Odyssey.
I’m surprised that so far only a third of people say they sing in the shower. To the best of my recollection, everyone I have ever lived with has sung in the shower.
I presume all those readers and TV watchers are bath-takers.
And shower sex should not have been excluded 
Was looking for a “none of the above” option in the shower/bath poll.
mmm
I pressed the “something else” button. What you gonna do about it? I wouldn’t reccomend starting anything, I’m tougher than I look…
Ah, dammit.
So did i. I neither look nor am tough enough that that that would be a significant issue to a potential mugger. Maybe i wouldn’t look like i had cash. Maybe I’d look sympathetic. But no one is going to decide not to mug me because i look too tough. So “other” means, “you asked the wrong question”
I only talk to the pets when she’s getting washed; mainly reassuring her because she doesn’t exactly love it; otherwise, she’s not really in the bathroom because she’s afraid she’s gonna get a cleaning.
I’m surprised so many people piss in the shower. At least, I hope they’re pissing while in the shower – I’d hate to think that they’re pissing while taking a bath.
I probably am tougher than I look because I look like a frail little old lady, which I am, but I have more muscle than it looks like; but “tougher than I look” is still not very tough. However, if I think somebody’s about to attack me my reflex emotion is much more rage than fear. I think it’s possible that I may somehow exude this because while I’ve been in situations in which I was unsure of somebody’s intentions nobody has ever physically attacked me.
And in any case I’m certainly tough enough to click “other” on an internet poll despite having been told not to!
I am a large, tall man with a shaved head and the ability to shoot a pretty angry-looking glare. However, if it came down to actually having to fight someone, I’m not too confident of my chances.
I sometimes piss in the shower, and sometimes read in the bathtub. I never read in the shower or piss while taking a bath.
And I’m probably tougher than i look, too, but i don’t think that’s going to deter a mugger, either my apparent or real toughness.
There was nothing on that list that I do in the shower. I don’t anything except wash and enjoy the hot water.
I definitely look tougher than I am. My wife says I can intimidate people just by looking at them a certain way. I certainly don’t intimidate her.
Yep, more or less the same. I think and wash. I mean, not saying I have never ever sung in the shower, but not very often.
I had sex in a shower once, a long time ago. Not too comfortable.
Would that count as “brainstorm”?
One of the thinking/brainstorm things that semi-often happens in the shower are ideas for starting a new thread. About 95% of them get ruled out by the end of the shower, as I wake up more completely.
