I’m with you, especially on #1! Terrifying! I’m afraid to go to San Francisco just because of having to drive [or be driven] on those insane hills. Do people ever start rolling backwards? Am I alone on this? Great post!

I loved the last one–yes, very bad omen. I’ve also been leary of the mattress-tied-to-the-roof DYI movers. Funny post.
I also hate following people with dogs that are loose in the back of pick-up trucks.

And don’t forget the trucks hauling trash or construction debris. I once had a big sheet of that black plastic stuff they put around construction sites fly out of a trash truck on a 4-lane highway and land across my windshield – just like in the movies! Luckily it cleared itselft in just a moment or two but it definitely gets your heart pumping when driving at 70 mph and I give these trucks a wide berth now.
