This post is about a peeve of mine: slowpokes! But not just any slowpokes!
I dunno what it is, but I have seen a huge increase in left-lane toodlers. These people travel in the left lane on highways, going very slowly, and never move over to allow passing. Sometimes they will passive-aggressively ride along parallel with the right-lane car to keep everyone behind them. ARRRG, move OVER already! Right lane travel, left lane PASSING.
Also, I really don't mind being cut off, in general. You're in a hurry, okay, whatevs. But what I can't stand is if you cut me off and proceed to go like 10 miles per hour. If you're going to cut me off, at least move your ass!
The other night, I was riding on the main road when I approach a ramp that's funneling cars onto my road. They have a yield, but this guy just decides to go without looking and cut me off. Then he, of course, goes super slow forcing me to slow way down. It was the end of my night and my patience was in the negative numbers so maybe this was immature, but I decide to pass him and get in front of him. I wasn't a jerk; I used my signal and was far enough ahead of him. But supposedly this damaged his pride or something because only then did he speed WAY up and get right on my bumper angrily. Oh, excuse me, I guess lowly old me was supposed to be stuck behind you going 15 and LIKE it.
We ended up parting ways soon after so at least he didn't follow me like a psycho.
