These are the sorts of idiots amongst whom I have the pleasure of driving to work every Tuesday thru Friday:
1. A rotund bitch driving a miniature hatchback, caught up to me while I'm going 5 over the posted speed limit (40 MPH). Shortly after that, the speed limit went up to 50MPH so I stayed at 45 so she could pass me using the 0.25 mile passing zone right there. There was an oncoming vehicle 0.75 miles down the road so she did not pass. I sped up to 52 MPH while she yo-yoed back and forth for 12 miles - through two back to back 0.3 mile long pass zones (both without oncoming traffic). After the last passing zone, I slowed down to 42 MPH (I hate cocksuckers who tailgate but don't pass).
Finally, the cunt passed me on a bridge 2 miles after the last passing zone, crossing a double yellow line to do so.
2. I and thirty other drivers are sitting at a red light (it's one of those lights, so common in Maryland, that is always red when you come to it - no matter which direction you approach from) when it turns green. I've been shortshifting lately in the Rabbit to conserve fuel (and have realized about an 8 MPG gain using this strategy), but even on the best of days the Rabbit is not speedy at accelerating and the "0-60 in 3 to 4 minutes" sticker advertises that fact. Either way, there was traffic in front of me that it would be physically impossible for me to accelerate faster than. The Subaru behind me was tailgating so closely I could not see the headlights, so I got up to 4th gear/30MPH and just cruised at that speed as traffic in the right-most lane pulled away from me at 3-5 MPH faster than that. The Subara whipped on their turn signal and got into the overcrowded center lane, at which point traffic in that lane jammed to a halt because the next traffic light 0.75 mile down the road was still red. Of course, I kept on cruising in the right hand lane at 30 MPH, arrived at the intersection just after the light had turned green and the stopped cars had cleared out, and left all the traffic in the center lane behind.
If Mr I'm In a Hurry had taken a moment to pull his head out of his ass and followed the poky old diesel VW, he would have not only made it past all the stopped traffic in the center lane but would not have been stopped by the traffic light 0.5 mile down the road at Shady Grove Rd when it turned red shortly after I went through it.
