Get the turning off the faucetsmug. When you are on a two lane two way road and realize that you missed a left turn so you make a U turn and go diagonally to it. But then you realize its the wrong one and it’s actually ahead so you make another U turn. Then you move left to get on the correct side again.
Person 1: I had to make a 8 turn today and now I feel stupid.
Person 2: You feel stupid? I made a Z turn because I didn’t notice the side I was on was under construction. I didn’t even finish the turn after the diagonal… I had to get my car towed AND fixed!

Get the turn that place into a doom gamemug. Being in a harsh rear-end collision while driving a VW Beetle (or any other rear-engine car with no airbags) and having the steering column skewer the driver. The air-cooled engine catches fire, essentially turning the driver into a grilling rod on top of a campfire.
Do you think I should buy an old Beetle?
Definitely not! One crash with a F-150 and you'll be turned into a grilling rod.
