I just saw someone that had a hard drive mapped to B:\ and I had to wash my hands after.

I map my backup drive to B. And my dev drive is, of course, D.

I usually map Optical Drives or SD Card readers to A: and/or B: now...

Of course, because why not? [I repeats to myself, sweating profusely while my finger shakes, unable to depress the mouse button that would assign the drive letter.]

I'm always worried I'll run into some program that hardcodes an assumption that A: and B: are floppy drives, so I've never done that.

I'm even a bit surprised Windows let's you use A: and B: otherwise, given how many other legacy things remain

It's a niche for sure. There's not that many chaotic-evil drive mappers around.

Are you sure it's a hard drive and not a floppy RAID? :D

OS floppy on A: Game floppy on B: C? We're not made of money.

That shouldn't be legal. It's reserved for my floppy drives!
