I wake up and climb into my car, adjusting my mirror. I go to work for nine hours. I climb back into my car to drive home. My rearview mirror is tilted something like two inches too high! It was perfect when I was driving the car in the morning.
So what’s going on here? “Spinal settlement”? Job beating me down until I’m a whimpering, slouching cur? Or am I living in a perpetual Wonderland?
Maybe you’re hitting the rearview mirror with your head when you lift it after snorting coke off the dashboard each morning.
Mine does that too! I have a tendency to believe it’s the same little guys that keep stealing one of our socks.
Most dreaded household chore…matching up white socks. Why is it that every time you wash them there are always more that don’t match than do?

Well thanks saxface for my first laugh out loud today.
Sake…didn’t accidently put the mirror on the high beam protection did you?
Other than that your car is probably haunted by the ghost of henry ford…

My mirror is loose. Nex time my car goes into the Car Doctors, it has to get re-glued. As a result, its position slips throughout the day.
Thanks, Saxface! I immediately looked into the matter and discovered that it is, in fact, the cocaine snorting!
Now you want to help me figure out why my spoons keep ending up in my car bent in half next to little ziploc baggies?
I thought we were talking about another penis thread…
Carry on. 
Snicker
-SS:D
That would explain the bent spoons and ziploc baggies, Sake!
Actually, it is spinal settlement due to gravity. During the day you are usually in an upright position. In this position gravity will cause the vertebral column to shorten somewhat because of the compressable tissue and fluid in between individual vertebrae. When you sleep at night (unless you sleep standing up) your vertebrae can move away from each other (the same way liquids will pool when on a flat surface) because they’re not fighting gravity. I think at the end of the day you’re shorter by an inch or two than when you woke up.
I don’t know if you really wanted a serious answer, but here it is anyways. I should be cleaning my apartment right now so I can LEAVE (summer break, yay!) but the water is turned off in the building.
I see the same effect. It’s a combination of the spinal settling that TheUnforgiven mentioned and changes in the curvature of your spine as your muscles get tired. See Night Growth. It’s also mentioned at Height Loss: When to be Concerned.
That can’t be, because I keep my black silk masochistic penis thread by my King James on my night stand. I would never be so vulgar as to leave it lying around my car!
Thanks JonF, I’ll keep my eye out for any “Night Growth” tonight 
I would probably think it was the spinal compression thing if not for the fact that I sleep standing up in a large plastic bubble wearing a Planet of the Apes mask and holding onto my plush Alf doll.
Sake, will you move to NY please?
Now that Alphagene is gone, there’s a void of a hilarious, cynical, drug abusing Doper.
We need you.
Flattery, my dear, will do nothing but firmly and gently stroke my ego and cause me to frantically return the act with passion and conviction.
Back to New York, huh? Hey, I tried to get as far away from you “people” as I could.
I lived in NJ and used to trot off to the Big Apple from time to time throughout high school. Where were you then, huh?!
Besides, my middle finger is just getting used to relaxing down with the other fingers.
Just do what I do…buy those big bags of socks and throw away the old ones. Then ALL the socks are the same and you can only have ONE odd one!!! If you do this once or twice a year, your problem is solved!!!
