*Unexpected rain.

*Random construction spots on the highway

*People's back buttons on their shorts/pants get caught on my leather when entering

*Smashing my door

*people parking next to me when I obviously parked a mile away for a reason.

I guess for me, it's when a car doesn't have a good coat of wax, therefore makes it nearly impossible for water to bead properly. At this point, the leaf blower I use struggles to move a huge pool of water off of the car.

How about when you come up behind somebody with your car detailed and spotless, you see them look in their mirror and they lay on their windshield washer with a smile Talk about controlling road rage!!!!

Dump trucks that never have their tarps over their loads and crap pebbles/sand/dirt all over you at highway speeds thus sandblasting your clear coat . . . . I wish I had rocket launchers.

Mine becomes dirty as I move front to back while detailing. Nothing like finishing up the car then having to dust off the front already...

Peckerheads who throw chewing gum out on road surfaces. Stringy crap looks like deep scratches on your wheels and lower body sections when you first notice it. I almost had a stroke the last time that happened. Gravel dust and bird poop are right up there too.
