HOW COME you have to be so close to me?

[Kern Dog]

We all have something that annoys us when we are out driving around.
Tailgaters piss off a lot of people, myself included. I'll tell you what REALLY annoys me is the losers that want to drive right next to me when there is almost nobody else on the road. It reminds me of the guys that park next to me in an otherwise EMPTY lot or straddle up to the urinal right next to you when other piss pots are open.
Come on, man...WHY ?
It is a two lane road and I'm motoring along when someone wants to drive right alongside me. I speed up, they do too. I slow down, so do they. What the hell, man?
Then there's the situation where you're on a 4 lane road, two lanes in each direction and a big rig is in the right lane. In the left, some fleeb is driving alongside the truck and won't speed up to pass. Cars are piling up behind both but the dork in the left lane is afraid to pass the truck.
People like this inspire me to commit several traffic infractions.

How about:

1. People who hold up traffic and then speed up when there is an opening to pass them. Of course after you pass them (sometimes up to 80 mph as happened to me on Monday), they soon slow down to their normal slow speed.
2. Those who proceed to drive the same speed as you as you pass them on a 3 or 4 lane highway.
3. Clueless people who are in the left lane and suddenly decide to jam the brakes on and stop traffic to get off at their exit, crossing 3 lanes. That also happened to me on Monday

I use cruise control whenever possible on the highway & it's amazing to me how many people cannot drive a steady speed. I've passed people multiple times because of this.

Being on a back country road and the person behind you is basically tailgating even if you increase your speed.

Driving next to me is frustrating... driving in my blind spot infuriates me. I think it's from previously riding a motorcycle, where you learn to get through someone's blind spot as fast as you can. I have idiots stay in my blind spot for miles upon miles, even when the road has zero traffic. I try to slow down or speed up to get them out of there, but sometimes it seems like they're intent on sticking right there. I've beat in into both of my teenager's heads that there is ZERO reason to just stick in a blind spot. I try to have good situational awareness of traffic around me at all times, but it's just an idiotic place to drive.

Connecticut is talking a camping law about people that drive in the left lane and not passing anyone.

just like me, they long to be, CLOSE TO YOU

Culture involved in a lot of this ****. Airport: Morons stop in doorways and don’t pass on the right.

I suppose spooning KD at the tent is off the table?

There's a new one for the blue forum.

 

[Davefinan]

Some of these I thought were my imagination. Like the one where they actually speed up when you pass. I see now it’s real

There's an unfulfilled racer deep inside us all. Or, people are just stupid.

No Turn Signals!!! Left Lane Lu Lus, and those who refuse to adhere to the speed limits. Failure of many to give way by moving left from the right lane, to merging traffic from an entrance ramp on a 4-lane road or highway. There is not a Yield sign anywhere for that either!!! A lot of that here in NV. cr8crshr/Bill

Mary thinks that the dorks that glue themselves to others are co-dependent Beta types that have to be around others to feel comfort.

My pet pieve when I was commuting to work, was the countless cars that jumped into the freeway "EXIT ONLY" lane, drive to the end to pass as many cars as possible then try to get back on the freeway.(illegally!)... and then EXPECT to be let in. I never did let anyone in, if I could help it.

Taking traffic rules into the stores...walk in the right hand side of the aisle. It's where you drive. No reason for both halves of the aisle to be people going the same direction, especially when people (me) are trying to go the other way.

And if you're gonna stop and look...get the **** out of the way! You don't have to block the whole aisle with your fat *** AND your cart, while you decide which type of Oreos you need....

 

[Kern Dog]

Yes. The wife gets PISSED at people that daydream or block access in the aisles in stores.
