When squirrels do this:

...for an extended period of time.

As I was getting out of the shower today I opened the bathroom window to let out all of the steam (we do not have a fan), and directly in view was a squirrel, on its hind-legs, frozen in time in the middle of the parking lot.

Of all places, a parking lot where reckless undergrads commonly screech by is probably the worst place for a squirrel to be standing.

I think that the squeaking of my bathmat in the shower may have provoked this encounter, but this is not the first time, nor the last, that I have seen a squirrel standing for extended periods of time, frozen in place, in an unfortunate location.
