Example of some obvious mistakes:

1) Answering, "Yes, I was going like hell" when the police officer who pulls you
over asks if you knew what you were doing wrong.

2) Taking only short pants with you for your week in Paris, in November.

3) Asking a question in here, then, after several people did their best to help
you, asking the same question again, this time specifying that only people who
know what they are talking about should answer.
