My wife went out for a colleagues leaving do last week and it seems she gave into peer pressure and came home absolutely hammered.
She knows she's light wait whne it comes to drink and can only handle a couple of drinks, but she had some more through pestering from the other attendees.
Was funny though.

I bet Tracey Temple felt a great deal of peer pressure under Lord Prescott of Pies

I empty my tray at McDonalds, but not because of peer pressure, but because I am happy with the meal and it is an easy thing to do. But if the service is poor or the table dirty, I don't bother.
I do react to 'peer pressure' on the road sometimes, which I have to be on the alert for. Say on a 30 mph stretch and someone tailgates. Unless the tailgater is very close, in which case I allow plenty of room in front and watch the tailgater in the rear view mirror and my speed avidly. It's a shame you can't legally thump those people, as they are endangering life as well as being annoying and provocative.
I, too often it seems, need to scold myself for following the crowd and not thinking or doing for myself, as the herd is all too often wrong. Can't think of an example at present. Oh hang on, there is McD again. You can be eyeing up the queues and some McD person directs you to one and you go as directed, instead of choosing your own. Their choice is not in your interest. Not quite peer pressure or following the crowd, but not acting for oneself is a related phenomenon.
