When I watch someone as they are walking or getting on the subway, holding an inexpensive cup of coffee, I notice they hold the cup with two fingers on the lid. If it is a pricey cup of java, they hold it around the cup itself, no fingers on the lid.

Now that I’m a driver again… it has proven true: if you want to switch lanes in thick traffic check your review mirror until you see an expensive car approaching from behind; then switch. These car drivers are much less likely to want to have a scratch on their paint; they let you in.
