I think I've seen three or four times where I go past a car half off the 
road with something wedged underneath where I think "That looked like a 
ladder tangled in his wheels", and then three miles later theres someone in 
a pickup truck full of ladders at the side of the road and the driver 
standing there scratching his head like "I thought I had one more than that."

I see at least several times a year someone driving down the road with a 
newspaper over the steering wheel, reading it.

Yes. And please get your ass into the lane where you want to exit, instead 
of waiting until someone is *about* to merge, then shifting from the center 
lane to the right lane.  And please don't speed up when you see someone 
trying to merge in front of you - they really have nowhere else to go.

And, while we're at it, if you're driving down the road at 70MPH and there 
isn't room for someone to parallel-park in front of you, you're doing it wrong.
