People on horses.

Is there absolutely no-where else to go with the horse except on roads which have lorries and petrol-tankers and buses and fast cars and motorbikes and scooters? Could always try taking horsie for a mid-day trot down the runway of the nearest airport. Might be safer.

People driving with flat tyres.
Yeh. How can they NOT know? There's the sound first of all, and then when you go round a corner, especially a roundabout, the car will swerve all over the place. I can tell if my car's only lost about 10lb in one tyre - what do they think has happened FFS? (Usually wimmin - talking nonstop to their mate or screaming at their brats, probably don't have time to worry about the weird way their car is handling).

And then there's wobbly wheeltrims. How can you approach a car and get in without seeing this? All you need to do is give it a kick and it'll go back on. Just try and buy ONE at a time from the dealer - no chance. Just don't lose it in the first place.

Many people see their car as an appliance...
