While driving, the distance from an intersection with a light signal where you decide that regardless of what color the light is, you're not going to stop for that light.
The intersection horizon varies directly with both the speed or size of the vehicle.

The phenomenon where the same comments start being posted by different commenters regarding an article or Facebook item because new posters haven't bothered to read all of the other posts or did not "view all comment."
Tim: That's the third person who has posted that they now have that song in their head regarding that link about Vanilla Ice on my Facebook wall.
Dan: They must not be clicking the "view all comments" link so now you're getting comment rollover.

The shaking, jerking illusion created by chewing on a crunchy food like corn or tortilla chips while watching an analog (NTSC) television.
That scene with the ferrets and the bounce house was really funny, but I had to back it up and watch it again because I wasn't sure if it was the clip or the Dorito effect.

For what ever reason, there's always stray dog crap on the route I take my dogs, so I just poop it forward.

Three or more landscape technicians who ride in a company pick-up truck at or below the legal speed limit in the fast lane and or usually in the carpool lane on the freeway completely oblivious to the fact that they are holding up traffic or that the carpool lane is not even in effect during that time of day.
Hi, I'm running a little late. I'm on 80, but I'm stuck behind some Mexican gardeners, and I can't even see around their pick-up. Hell, I can't even see thru their windshield. There are three of them packed in together all wearing hats. I guess they don't know that it's not a carpool lanes at lunch. Later.

When some unexpected but not unmanageable event occurs making someone forget all protocol or etiquette regarding the original situation often leading to great inconvenience for those not involved with the new event or situation.
Examples include:
When one enters a restaurant with an acquaintance only to find a baseball game on television and the game becomes the primary focus of one or both persons’ attention.
When someone sees a magazine with an interesting cover photo on a rack in a grocery store and rather than pay for it and read it at home, they grab the magazine with no regard to where their shopping cart is and block the aisle while reading the magazine in the store.
When someone is driving but stopped at a light and sees a friend in another vehicle or on a sidewalk and begins a conversation completely disregarding the traffic signals or that there are other drivers behind him who would like to get on with their lives.
