You're talking nonsense.

If there is a guy on the TransCanada doing 105 in the left lane, I'm not a reckless ####### to pass him on the right. He's the oblivious moron driving in the wrong lane.

By your logic, the right lane would have to slow to 104.9 to never pass him and the new pace of the transcontinental highway would slow to 105 as dictated by one dope.

You're being ridiculous.

The age old argument: is the left lane for crime or is it for halfway crooks who are only willing to do some crime?

If people are coming up on you and passing you on the right you’re the dink. Get into the next lane over, nerd. You’re making the road less safe with your foolhardy driving

This is why I think cars should have rockets on them, but noooooo, life is precious or something.

Having just driven on 7 hours on the highway today, I believe the following people need to be killed asap.

Speed matchers - those who speed up to match speed when being passed. Not only should they be killed but we should laugh at them for their small penises. That’s what it is. Small penis syndrome.

Passing lane speeders - no, not the people who drive fast to pass. The guys, usually with campers/trailers, who drive 95 in a 100 zone holding us all up then do 140 in the passing zone. Once again, small penis syndrome attacks. I actually saw a guy weaving between lanes to avoid letting another guy by him today. It was crazy dangerous. Thankfully it was in my rear view mirror.

Anyone who doesn’t use cruise control - why the #### are you passing me 2 minutes after I passed you and then slowing down again? Your failed genetics need to be removed from the gene pool. Immediately.


This is not on the road but when discussing a trip. The “I make it there faster than you” guy. No matter how long of a drive you say a drive is, this ######bag WILL claim that it’s 30 mins to 1 hour less. The worst is when you get two of these #######s together and they continually one up each other about how long a drive it is until eventually you’re travelling back in time on your drive.

I got a weird one

Anyone that scrapes their debit or credit card across the face of a machine. It's contactless you Neanderthal. Don't have to scratch it up, just hover.

Add on the double divided highway idiots who pull left to pass way way too early when you’re clearly coming up behind them at a faster speed. 103.1 km/h guy way behind 103.0km/h guy, doesn’t check that he could just wait one millisecond for me @ 124.9 km to go first and then he could pull out. Nope 103.1 guy is gonna cut in front of me and make me slow down to turtle speed and take 7 minutes to pass with him.

These people can’t find a G-Spot either.

Or people who must think that the tapping motion is important to the process. Put your card next to the reader and let it do its thing. Waving it up and down does not do anything.

"Damn thing doesn't work!"

Yeah, it's the reader and not the operator. Mmhm

I am annoyed by the debit machines that have the tap on the top, at an angle.

Also if you have an older debit card the "tap" region is quite a bit smaller than newer cards.

I'm sometimes that person with my Amex card. It is a metal card and on some terminals it just won't trigger the payment.

I suspect most of this fuss with debit machine tap is down to the cards simply getting old and losing the ability to tap consistently.

If you keep your wallet in your pocket and your debit card has any flex while it's sitting in there, after a while the payWave antenna will sever, meaning your tap will either work intermittently (when the antenna wire is in the right position to bridge itself closed) or fail to operate at all. The wire is very thin. Next time you get a new credit card and cut the old one, cut it in half first and look near the perimeter of the card.

Or people who think the chip is the 'tap' region and are basically waving the thing around backwards.
