I think every cat owner does.
Stuff like:
"I can't work when you're on my keyboard!"
"Stop walking in front of my feet!"
"No, you can't come in here so shut up already!"
And every cat owner's favorite: "Get your ass out of my face!  "

And every cat neighbour...
GET THE ELEPHANT OUT OF MY BACKYARD,
GO SH1T ANYWHERE ELSE
SHUT UPPPPP

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

My neighbor's cat was in my backyard yesterday.
I had to throw something out in the garbage bin and I didn't see it.
It saw me though.
In complete panic it first jumped against the fence, ran to the other side and repeated the process.
It went from left to right, jumping against the fence every time, for about six or seven times.
I went back inside to give it some space, but then it just jumped against my bin, twice, and did not land on its feet.
After it relaxed a bit, it was able to jump on my bin and over the fence.
Poor thing must've had a headache after that
Stupid cat has been living here for over a year and I've even petted it before

Hah, I've got six cats (no I am not a crazy cat man, it couldn't be helped) and they've lived here for five years. A couple of them still leap in the air if I touch them when they're not expecting it, even though they must have been able to detect that I was right behind them.
Strange creatures.

For me, there is a frequent, "now, we've discussed this. Stay off of there."
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

No - I knew you were crazy - that you talk to your cat proves it

Talking to cats brings bad luck[^].
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

One of my absolute favourite films so no offence taken
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

I think I've seen that one, I think it was it titled "How To Break Out Of While Loop? URGENT!"
It went unanswered except for some comments saying they wouldn't do his homework and links to Google.

My recently-purchased, nearly-new Skoda includes "lane assist", which gives steering guidance above 40mph, designed to stop you inadvertently wandering across lanes on the motorway. It's clever and it works fine under normal motorway conditions, and certainly encourages better use of indicators (there's no feedback if you've indicated you're changing lanes).
Today was the first time I've driven on the motorway after heavy rain. As the clouds parted and the sun dried out the carriageway, the dry parts were noticeably paler than the damp patches. Several times, landscape (hedges, fences etc) meant the "dry" line wasn't parallel with the lanes; the lane assist camera interpreted the colour change as a lane marking, and delivered a steering input that actively drifted me out of my lane into the next. Of course I noticed what was happening and overrode the input (you just exert more pressure in the opposite direction). But it really concerned me that my car would "choose" to effectively make an unannounced lane change simply because of a damp road.
This is in a mass-production vehicle and I guess other makes / models with lane assist would behave similarly. If it had been "self driving" rather than just the gentle "nudge" of lane assist, there'd have been an accident. I worry that it's rather too soon to contemplate fully autonomous vehicles on public roads.

It definitely is, and that is why you, as a driver still, have to "assist the lane assist".
It will get at least another 10 years until AD is usable in full mode, and it will be complicated as long as manual and AD are coexisting on the road since humans are much more unpredictable than software.
For the moment - and I am working in the industry - we are on level 2,5 on the AD scale[^] - 2,5 has even settled in our jargon - and will be stuck there for a consequent amount of time.

Well that's because REAL race cars only turn left.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Yes, even in the Netherlands gangs of children are demanding their share of sweets now.
In my sleepy home town a suspicious looking guy rang the doorbell and handed over a bag of sweets.
Gives this to the children when they come at 7:30 PM he whispered and then vanished in the dark.
After a long wait finally a gang of little monsters appeared half an hour too late, didn't want to sing a song, grabbed the sweets from my hands and left me standing baffled in the doorway.

One of the benefits of having a solid front fence with electric gates 
OTOH we were walking the dogs when said band of monsters wandered our street, they refused the dog treats I offered.
