   >   I've been watching YouTube vidoes of emergency vehicles (police, fire,   
   ambulance) responding to emergency calls. It's shocking how many drivers will   
   just SIT THERE, and NOT move to the right to get out of the way.   
      
      I see that all the time.   
      The worst are drivers at red lights who can move out of the way (no   
   cross traffic) but wait for the light to turn green before they move.   
     I always think what would they think if if were a loved one of theirs was   
   in the ambulance, their house burning down, etc and some idiot just sat   
   there blocking them.   
      
   >   Another case had a guy get a blow up doll in the passenger seat, so it   
   would look like he had a passenger in the car   
      
     When I was in parking I was walking by a fire lane.  Now if someone were   
   in the car, of age, who could move it.    
      (This was at the student centre and people liked to park there to run   
   inside "for a minute").   
      I noticed the passenger never moved and thought that strange and walking   
   past the car saw it was a blow up doll, with a wig and hat on it.   
      I started laughing so hard I could hardly write the ticket.  :)   
      I only wish I had a camera phone at the time.   
      One time I was inside the student centre talking with some people and a   
   woman parked there and walked away.   
      As she was going into the building I was walking out another door   
   writing the ticket.     
      I was back inside a minute later and talking again when the fire marshal   
   drove by, stopped and wrote her another ticket and put it on the window.   
      It was several minutes before she came out and looked at the two tickets   
   with a puzzled look on her face.  :)   
      Meanwhile we inside were laughing ourselves silly.
