When a friend is watching a live, pause-able sporting event in a separate location and says he has to pause said event, you must respect the pause and not spoil what has happened until he has confirmed seeing it.
Brad: Dude, did you see that touchdown, that shit was crazy!
Mike: What the fuck asshole, I'm driving home from the store! Respect the pause, man!!!
Mike: What the fuck asshole, I'm driving home from the store! Respect the pause, man!!!

When you have to decide between sitting multiple cars usually each having 1-2 people already, meaning that you are showing "more" respect to the car that you wish to sit in. Usually solved simply but can be thought about rather seriously.
Mike and Tony were both going to Caribou Coffee in their cars with no passengers, they were leaving from my place, so I would sit with Mike and say see ya there Tony to balance the Passenger Respect, possibly giving disrespect.
