You better let me off the elevator before you get on it or I will run you over.

To expound on the elevator courtesy, this applies to subways, buses, trains, etc. Always let passengers leave
before you enter.
(I got tripped getting out of a subway in NYC by oncoming passengers, one leg fell INTO the gap between the subway car and the platform -- up to my thigh -- and NO ONE helped me. I thought I was going to be drug down the entire length of the subway platform.)
Valets -- don't look through my glove compartment or change my radio station, and try to put my seat back in place.
Yes, TonyB -- ALWAYS give the "traffic hand" to acknowledge that someone has been nice to you in traffic.
If you have visiting my next door neighbor (even for a moment), don't park in
my driveway. If you are dropping picking up or dropping off someone off at their residence, don't double-park on a busy street. Park at the curb, even if it's 1 house away. (And, don't pull into or block my driveway to let someone off who isn't going into my house.)
If the on-ramp merge lane is ending, let the merge car get in the lane.
For emergency vehicles, pull over to the side of the road and STOP -- not merely slow down. Oh wait -- this IS a law!
Don't steal shopping carts and leave them in front of my apartment building! (Oh, wait -- also breaking a law. This time, it's a felony.)
It is the urban version of a non-working car on cinder blocks on the front lawn.
And for the penultimate -- you are driving a $100K Mercedes and you have a handicap parking permit.
What's your handicap???
You're RICH??? (Sorry, I live in LA and this is overly-abused.)
