boingboing:
7) People who use their carhorn as though it were a doorbell. Perhaps they pick up their fellow carpooler everyday in the early morning and don't care if they wake up the neighbors by tooting the horn rather than getting out and knocking on the door. Anyone ramped up a campaign or sustained tactic for one of these people?

update: the article also has a few polish jokes:
Work slowdowns are methods commonly used by labor unions to apply pressure
without actually striking. During the Solidarity movement in Poland,
people expressed their disapproval of the government-run news media by
taking a walk with their hats on backward at exactly 6 p.m. when the state
news program started. When the government noticed the trend, it issued
curfews, but people then put their televisions in their windows facing
outward so that only the police walking the streets would see the broadcasts.
''You have to remember, in Poland during those years showing up drunk at
work was seen as a patriotic act because people hated the bosses so
much,'' Professor Scott said.
