With regards item three, from time to time I have to deal with possible expectation that someone will want me to make coffee. This is a very bad idea as I don't drink the stuff and think it tastes vile. As a consequence, anyone who has ever asked me to make coffee has never asked me to do so again!

As for four, well... I was in this multistorey one day and there was this woman trying to park in the space in front of me one level down. I swear she went in and out of that space seven or eight times before deciding her work was done and getting out of the car to go where ever it was she was going. I had to walk past her car on the way out, and basically it was parked at a very strange angle, had managed to stray across the line into the neigbouring space, and had its back end out across the end line. I wouldn't have been that surprised by all of this if she was driving a socking great Merc or BMW, but it was a fucking Mini (the old sort; this happened back in the 80's). I was just amazed that anyone could fail to get one of those things into a single parking space.
