<p>My computer and phone have this feature where you can fill out your name, address, and phone number and anytime a form pops up on the internet, it will offer to fill out those things for you. Crazily enough, forms are on the internet all the time. Whether it is a job application, a contest entry or getting a free e-book so you can get more junk mail in your inbox, autofill happens more than you think.</p>
<p>If only we could use autofill for other more important aspects in life. Like for instance when we went to a party (not that those exist anymore). When you first meet someone, and they ask for your &#8220;vital statistics&#8221;, you could just hit your autofill button and you wouldn&#8217;t have to answer the painful &#8220;where are you from?&#8221;, &#8220;what do you do for a living?&#8221; and &#8220;Are you married, do you have kids?&#8221; are automatically said for you.</p>
<p>It would really come in handy for job interviews, so you could skip the &#8220;Tell me about yourself&#8221; question and &#8220;Why are you interested in working here?&#8221; question. It just seems like so many parts of our life are just repeating the same things to people and autofill would be able to fill out so many of those awkward moments we just have to repeat over and over.</p>
<p>It would definitely help us skip the Coronavirus talk and big news stuff that we feel obliged to talk about, even though we just want to talk about something else.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, just autofill the transition and let&#8217;s move to the Bitter Friday Giftures:</p>
<p><strong>Nope&#8230;</strong></p>
