Fitting into tiny cars. All my friends are large, and when we try to go somewhere together in the 'fuel efficient' car, it's like an event trying to get everybody to fit. Everyone ends up all squashed against the windows, which causes fits of giggling and lots of sweating.

And seatbelts, gah! No one in the back seat gets one because they are so short they can't even go halfway around one of us. We end up packed in like sardines.
