Oh, man. There's this series of four extremely badly patched potholes on my way to work, and I know where the curseworthy things are, and every morning, I think, "right, I just crossed Benton, I've got to watch out for those potholes by H&H Plumbing," and then what do I do? I hit the potholes. One day, I hit 'em wrong, and it actually flung one of my feet off of a pedal. Normally, I at least have the presence of mind to get my butt up off the seat and get my elbows bent so I don't end up being assaulted by various parts of my bike as I judder across that awful asphalt.
