Actually, muscle memory will save your life. Did you even know you have muscle memory?

One of my favorite examples is the seasoned driver, possibly middle age, been driving for decades. I'll assume you join me in that category.
You're driving down a street, cars parked on both sides. Automatically your brain is scanning for pedestrians who will magically appear between the cars. You're distracted by a party going on in the park to the left. You nod approvingly at the convertible...

I agree
It's best to be cordial first and try to ask them/talk it out...
