Never ever change the radio presets if you are borrowing my car for a few hours. (Seriously? Why does this even have to be a rule?)

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

Always call before dropping by.
(Even I'f you're family...wait, scratch that. ...especially if you're family lol)

If you call or text, I will get back to you when I can (which might be tomorrow, not in 5 minutes). No need to keep leaving messages.

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.)

This is a tough one because there are often so many cars on the road, you can't all pull over to the side.

Handicap stickers are overly-abused in lots of places, but I don't see how having a $100K Mercedes would preclude the possibility of being handicapped.

My legally disabled relative drove a handicap-stickered Mercedes because it was simply the easiest type of car for her to drive with her type of disability.

It doesn't. I can legally apply for a placard (birth defect plus aftereffects of ACL/MCL injuries), but don't.

Abundancy of handicap placard fraud: http://articles.latimes.com/2011/may...rking-20110522
Take a drive in the business section of Beverly Hills, any day. The amount of placards will have your eyebrows looking like Jaden Smith's.

My old boss used his mother's placard ... on his Ferrari. Even when going to the gym.
