I hate the "squirrel in the middle of the road" game.

They see a car coming, so they run into the road and stop in the middle. You know that they are going to make a mad dash for safety as the car gets closer, but so unpredictable as to which way they will go. I gave up trying to outguess them, since I was almost always wrong. It was like playing Russian Roulette! Now I just slow down as much as possible and give him as much space possible for a dash to safety, and hope he doesn't encounter a car coming in the opposite direction.
