I'm pretty careful about getting under my car, and I've seen cars slip off and hurt people. We even had a "round tube frame" car slip off a couple years ago (all the more reason to have the rectangular frame cars  ). Seriously though, I don't change my oil with jack stands or a lift. I use two by tens nailed together under the wheels with the back wheels chocked -- it works great. I really think it's the safest way to work solo. Even though you're a PITA, we wouldn't want anything happening to you.
