I am the exact same way, every thing you listed. If I see a puddle in a parking lot it drive around it of go through it very slow. Someone in my neighborhood was draining their pool and it was running into the main street. So I busted a U-ey in the middle of the road and drove around the whole neighborhood to the other entrance. Then of course there are the people in front of you on the freeway that use the wiper squirters. Oh christ thats annoying. I've only had my car since Feb. I'm still in lub too.

I usually park in the ozone, but thats no gaurantee. Yesterday, Im in a meeting with the VP's of the company. Our meeting room has a panoramic view of the parking lot. Looking out at my car, I spy the lawn keeper with the big roll around dust blower, standing 1 foot from the car checking it out - while the blower was going full throttle into my car!

I was so disturbed by it, that everyone notice and looked out the window to see what was up. Luckily, they all love my car,They said to me "go get him John!" so I tried to run out there but by the time I got to the front door, they had loaded up the truck & gone.

Some people have no common sense or regard for other people belongings. That infuriated me. To stand there admiring something, and at the same time, potentially destroying it because they're stupid.

He just shook his head.
I woulda gone right away, "Hey dude Stop it!"..

OMG! What's wrong with you?! You don't scrape bugs off with your fingernail, you use a microfiber towel and that bottle of Z6 you should have in the car at all times! Jeez, if you're going to be hoplessly ****, at least get it right! LOL

I do all of the above, plus:
-cover my car every day at work (unless it's too windy, and check wind conditions about a half dozen times a day when I do cover it)
-have a 20 min nightly cleaning ritual that includes CA car duster, spot clean w/ Z6, winsheild clean w/ Invisible Glass and wipe the rims/exhaust tips
-Make sure that anyone that rides in my car (a VERY short list) knows exactly how to close the door gently by pushing it closed inside the door handle and to be very mindful of dragging their feet accross the door sill
-Sometimes I go out to the garage in the evening just to steal a glance and check on it
-never drive it when it's going to be sitting for any period of time longer than I'm driving it

oh, I could go on... at least it's comfortimg to know I'm not alone in my illness...

My apartment complex has a slight incline at the entrance, so instead of going up it and having to watch for traffic as I cross (possibly forcing me to speed up and scrape) I bust a U-turn everyday so I can slant it.

At work, I park on the 5th floor of the garage (the last that still has a ceiling). One day I was there early, 7:45ish and passed by the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors even though there were PLENTY of good(curb-side) spaces to go to the 5th where I knew NOONE would be next to me the entire day.

And last week two 6 year olds were admiring my car on their bikes which could have accidentally scratch my car if they lost balance. I saw this, I ran to get my keys, and I hit the panic button. Scared the crap out of them that they took off haha. So evil...

oh man...this really gets me steamed. I make sure I leave PLENTY of distance between my Z and the car in front of me when driving toward the sun...people see how disgustingly dirty their windshield is in the sun and always try to wash it.

Another thing that really pisses me off is f*cking smokers that ash out the window and eventually put their cigarette out on my front bumper at 60mph.

I usually just wipe my boogers in the floormat, but when I am driving the Z, I flick it out the window.
