Found out the sneezing one about a month ago as I was coming down with the flu. Took forever to get the inside of the visor streak free. Here's some more.
-You're at a stop light and the guy in the car in front of you is hanging his cigarette out the window and you're down wind. - One word: SKUNKS - Stuck behind a big simi on a great twisty road and you're getting pelted by debris from the truck. (Had the usual rocks etc... but the worst was stuck behind a chicken truck. Feathers and the smell. Ugh!) -When you're on one of the best twisty roads riding pretty much as fast as you dare and see there's a faster bike behind you. Let him by and see he's riding 2 up! (Slightly disheartening.  )

Smell. This happened twice last year: Deer hit and left to decay on side of road with no other way to get to work. The first time it happened, I had no idea how bad the stench would suddenly appear and exponentially increase over the next 9 days. Provided, the temps were in the 100's, but when one has no air conditioner and the only defense is to not breathe, it was all I could do to not to barf inside my helmet. This was an evil, gag-inducing, eye-watering, odor-festival of helmet-staining proportions.
The second time, a deer was dead on the side of the same road about 50 feet from the previous stenchathon. Mercifully, winter set in, the temps got cold, and it didn't stink after 2 days. In comparision to the previous, I could actually almost enjoy the process of decay as I rode by every day. If you have ever encountered this, you know what I mean. If not, I graphically apologize.

- Stuck behind a Garbage Truck because you're in a giant turnpike.
- Rain X didn't work so you're helmet fogs up in the cold. - Bugs splatter on your visor - You didn't look at your footing and went down, with plenty of people watching. - Harley's are being as loud as possible behind you when you are going slow because you don't know the road. Then over take you thinking their fast. - It starts to rain

But I must admit when I read your post bmw4422 I was having a sip out of a beer and almost sprayed my monitor.
