    I think people can be divided into two category's;
      Those who play Russian roulette by whipping out there USB sticks in a nonchalant manner
      People who follow the slow & steady 'Safely remove hardware' approach

    Do you dance with the devil?

    I drink orange juice straight out of the carton.

    Leave the door open while I take a leak if I'm feeling adventurous.

    It's taking the hammer out of the screen.

    I always safely remove my UzzzzBA.

    I also leave the blue ring on the plastic milk cartons. Makes the coffee taste better.

    Making sure the condom doesn't come off while removing I think.

    As you are pulling out, hold onto the base.

    I subscribe to the saying, "If you're not living on the edge then you're taking up too much space".

    Safely remove hardware? Ha! I didn't even renew my Anti-virus software.

    Pulling out prematurely? You know that doesn't help right?

    You have to be much more careful when inserting the stick!!!11one

    Whipping out there USB sticks in a nonchalant manner = when you have a lend of somebody else's USB stick or it belongs to work.

    People who follow the slow & steady 'Safely remove hardware' approach = when it's your USB stick.

    My laptop has decided it doesnt want to give me the 'safely remove' option anymore (because Vista has AIDS) and it takes too long to go abouts trying to safely remove it the other way so I just whip it out.

    I've never lost a man* yet

    I pull the thing out once the light stops blinking on the USB device

    i would be the exact opposite.. it's only 10euro to yourself but you look a tit if you break someone elses not doin it the safe way,



    by the way, as long as data isn't copying or being read, jus whip it out.. then its safe
