I don't know how many times walking with my wife and we're just strolling along talking when suddenly, she breaks for the right, "Oh, I meant to come over here at Zales, to look at Gina's engagement ring!" I'm like WTF!

Some elderly guy in an e-wheelchair, looks like he's headed over to the ramp at the corner of the sidewalk's curb, when he suddenly decides, that there's another ramp much closer to his destination, so he does a quick ninety, right in front of you. However, it's ok, because you're walking.

You're walking your kids across a busy downtown street. Your little daughter is holding on to your right hand and your nine-year-old son is holding her right hand. Your left hand is carrying a package. Here comes some guy on a bike riding your son's heels.....That would just piss me off!
