  • I Don't Get People Who Do This....

    Ya know when you're in for a decent drive, at least 10 or more miles, and you pass someone in the beginning parts of your travel, only to see them fly past you just miles later?

    Them. And the people who merge at 35-50 mph, so once you get in, you go to pass them, then they punch the gas and whizz up, sometimes even much faster than the speed limit, so you can't pass them. Not sure how many of these people do it on purpose or if they are just that stupid.

    Last night on the way to work, hopping a right from my street to the main drag to lead to the freeway, a van with Air Force stuff on it took their sweeeeet slooow time making the left turn onto the same road. I was behind them not long before their 30 mph in a 45 got on my nerves and I passed them. They were going that slow in the furthest left lane. Thank goodness it was after 10 pm.

    Anyway, they were going so slow that they stayed pretty far back, and we got on the freeway together and they showed no intention of getting up to speed. I merged in and set the cruise at about 68 and was on my way, them eventually disappearing from my rear view mirror.

    A couple of miles later, I see a van come roaring up in the left lane and go whizzing past me at probably 75 mph at least.

    "Damn, is that really..." I'm thinking to myself, and then I see the Air Force decals and go "Are you serious? That's THEM? The 30 mph in a 45, get on the freeway at 40 mph van people? Really?!!?!?"

    They got way ahead of me, and at the exit before mine, slammed the brakes to take the exit (NOT necessary, the roads were dry and perfect) and took the ramp casually and sloooowly, I watched as I passed.

    Really? What. The. Hell.

    Then this morning on the way home, I was behind some idiot woman in a Saturn who wouldn't go over 25 on the service road to the freeway (limit 40) and she barely merged at 50, so I got into the left lane to pass her once we were merged in, and I was trying to gain speed so I didn't get smucked by people coming up behind us, but no sooner did I get in the other lane, she roared the gas and was up much faster than I would be comfortable going, so I ended up having to go back over into the right lane.

    Dumb. People. Everywhere.

    It wasn't someone in a four-cylinder Vue, was it? Those things seem to have a top speed of about 70mph, run out of steam around 75, and corner like overladen hippos. How do I know this? Well, my mother has one (her second...bought after the first spit out its transmission), and no, I don't like driving it. As for the sudden-speed issues, I do know that the cruise control sometimes acts goofy on that thing. For example, when I'm on the turnpike, I'll set it around 70-72. The system will drop down to about 65, gather some speed, and then stay around 70 or so. Usually. On long, steep hills though, it can (and does) cause the engine to over-rev quite a bit. Meaning, what was a relaxed 70mph gait is now an 80mph typhoon once you've crested the hill...causing me to either flip the cruise off, or hit the brakes. Truly annoying!

      Well, you know, a lot of folks out there feel like it's an insult to have anyone get in front of them. It makes their dicks shrink up.

        That's quite true...or it must make them feel flat chested or like they are aging or something if they are a woman, because they do it to me, too.

        It seems to happen a lot with this car. It's not a sports car. Sure, it looks pretty cool and flashy and has quite some pep to him, but it's not like a Camaro or something like that. I don't get why when I go to pass people, more than half of the time it feels like they start accellerating at the same time so it takes me longer to pass or they get going so fast that I just give up.

            Sorry, but while I can do many things, extracting heads from anuses isn't one of them. (so sayeth the irv)

              No, around here, if someone gets in front of you, they slow down. What's the point of getting in front of someone if you're gonna slow down????

                Well, since their dick is so small and they're used to reach-arounds, they what someone to give it to them up the rear. (You did ask.)
