Doom I and II, Rise of the Triad. Windows 3.1. Anyone else old enough to remember floppy swapping?
Not fun. Send that to the city and demand they fix that lane.
Not sure in general but in Southern California in the 1980s, we used to say things like, "I'm going to bolt down lunch then race to school".
