This reminds me of the time I checked out all the Dune books from the library, they were all hardbacks and the stack was nearly 2 feet high. The librarian was like, "You're not going to read all that before they're due" She was right but she let me check them all out anyway.

The c64 could do all sorts of music over the TV speakers, even voices. Who can forget Impossible Mission "Another visitor, stay a while, stay forever!"

Our new keyless ignition vehicle wouldn't fully close the hatch with the doors locked and the keys in the car. It would go down half way and play the "I can't close" noise.

The licensing boards will revoke your ability to ever work in your profession again if you fuck up, and you will be personally liable in addition to the institution you work for. Cops kill people and get a paid vacation. Then you can't sue them because of qualified immunity. If for some reason the cop loses his job he just goes to the next city over and starts fresh.
