Things That Make You Go Hmmm...

"Things That Make You Go Hmmm..." was a running theme on Arsenio (and apparently inspired a song), so I'm wondering if it might inspire some conversation here.
How often during the day does RDA pop into your head for one reason or another? Maybe something happens that sparks a memory of an encounter, or a scene from one of his roles. I'll begin with an example.
Today I was grocery shopping, and an abandoned grocery cart in the middle of the aisle reminded me of RDA:
When we had met in Toronto, he was doing a lot of shopping. At one point he was waiting in line for the cashier, and the person about four people ahead of him in line was taking forever, unprepared with money, or confused, or for whatever reason was holding everyone up. RDA was getting more and more impatient and aggravated, and afterward he explained that he is not good with waiting and one of his pet peeves is people who thoughtlessly make others wait. (Never mind that he himself is most often the one who is late and holds up others, but that is a different topic...)
Anyway, I told him that one of my pet peeves is thoughtless people in grocery stores who leave their carts in the middle of the aisle and then walk away to look at something else. He answered that that annoys him too, so he just takes the person's cart and wheels it to another aisle so they have to go looking for it.
So now, whenever I encounter a thoughtlessly abandoned cart that I have to maneuver around, (no, I don't steal it and move it), instead of getting annoyed, I just picture RDA stealing it and it makes me smile.
So, any other day-to-day things that make you go hmmm, and RDA springs to mind?
