My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

Yes,I have been shunted by a couple of BMWs as well.
But first prize has to go to the Mercedes driver who, after nealy knocking me off, proceeded to give me the finger, when I beeped my horn at him. Unfortunately for him, he was just jumping from one stationary lane, to another, as their type often do. So I parked my bike and walked back to him. Changed his tune then. Locked the doors and wouldn't look at me. So I tapped on his wondow. Still wouldn't do anything but stare straight ahead. I tapped a bit harder (With carbon knuckle-gards) Still no response... I was so pissed off at this point, I could hear my own heart-beat. So I grab his wing-mirror, and wrench it forward. And when I let go, it sprung back, with the sound of a ruler being held on a desk and bent, then released, you know, the sort of "BRRrrr" sound...
The guy is panicking a bit now, he's screaming and beeping his horn. I try several more times to get the wing-mirror off, bending and twisting it, but every time I let go, it just springs back to its normal position. Very frustrating. In the end, the sillyness of the whole situation gets to me, and I start laughing, and go back to my bike and ride off. Well built cars those Mercs.
