Sleeping lightly during the riots.
People running into your car, and getting irritated when you expect them to fix it. (It happened twice, one time the gal said I should't have been in the turn lane where she could hit me.) I think there's a line from a Golden Earing song that says:"This is a madhouse, feels like being cloned..."
I do miss the all night auto parts stores ( Chief Auto), guess ther's not enough speed freaks out here. LOTS of those in CA, I know, I used to be one.

We have speed freaks here too, but they're old, and in bed by 8.
