| Mine is the automated toll taker idiot.  This is the person who
| gets in the exact change lane.  Stops, opens up her purse, gets
| out 25 cents, rolls down the window, leans way out, drops the
| quarter in the basket (optionally missing it), waits for the
| green light, then rolls up her window and proceeds.

Or the male counterpart, who stops, rolls down the window of his
4WD hijacker, unfastens the safety belt (this being the only time
he wears the thing), digs around in his pocket for the change, finds
that he hasn't got it, climbs down and goes back through the line
asking the drivers of the cars which he is holding up for change
of a five, ten, or twenty, then climbs back into his vehicle, tosses
the change at the gate (65% chance of missing), rolls up the window,
and eventually drives off.
