A few of mine:
- Prime Ministers who bring their families to National Events and sing not only O Canada, but also the Royal Anthem: God Save the Queen.

- Commentators from certain national non-governmental run Media who interrupt their "commentating" during live broadcasts of National Events when Silver Cross Mothers collapse during said National Events.
- My daughter for using 'trickery' to get me to go to a certain Remembrance Day event where her class was putting on a recital of "In Flanders' Fields", so that she could surprise me (We were going to go to town "x", but she asked if we could go to town "y" because friends of hers from school would be there)
- My Friend who rescued me from my annual "green tie search" that was both frustrating and fruitless
- Warm Beds
