I don't know what's more frustrating, actually being held up by some slowpoke on the road, or reading all the sanctimonious pricks on the internet claiming it's not the law to be courteous. Why is it any different than walking down an aisle in a store? If there's someone behind you that knows where he's going, but you're browsing the rack, do you force him to wait for you while you meander? I know, it's not THE LAW to move over, it's just the courteous thing to do.

Absolutely incredible what some of you people are saying. Don't get so angry. Slow down. I can go 90 in the left lane if I so please. Sure. You're all correct. I just doubt that most of you people would do that kind of stuff face to face with a person, so why do it in a car? Suddenly everyone gets where they're going and holds open doors, and moves out of the way when someone is walking briskly or pushing a stroller. But no. Not in a car. HOW DARE YOU EXPECT ME TO MOVE OVER FOR YOU. THERE's NO LAW THAT SAYS THAT.

Bunch of pr*cks that don't even realize that it's you that create the road rage, then you tell everyone that bothers to make mention of it to simmer down, like we're on the verge of exploding. Yet you crotchety old cranks are the first ones to complain about all the other little courtesys that are being forgotton by the young people. I think it's ridiculous that we're supposed to somehow accept sh*tty driving from people, yet in the rest of our lives, we're allowed to expect reasonable levels of aptitude. Right. Calm down. Don't get so riled up that some jerkface is texting on his stupid phone and going 40 in a 50. Just accept it. But if the same jerk is operating the till at the convenience store, and he makes you wait 7 seconds for you to pay for your polident, you're gonna be up in arms.
