I just don't get people these days, they lose it over the most mundane $%$*. A few days ago, some tool in an older Cavalier wagon was just crawling in the left lane, so I moved to the middle lane and passed him. Didn't look at the guy, didn't flip him off, nothing, I just passed him. A minute or two later, the tool that was going 50 in the left lane was now right on my bumper (I was going around 70) and flipping me off. Too bad for him my brakes are much better than his and so is my acceleration. Nailed the brakes, then as he tried to change lanes and go around me, I punched it and kept him behind. I guess at that point he realized there were two of us in the car and he took the next exit. Still can't figure out what that a$$hole's problem was. If you don't want people to pass you, don't go 50 in the left lane of a 3 lane freeway. :rolleyes.

Warning, general rant...

I always drive in a way that no one has to slow down for me or has to make a quick lane change to avoid me. I always signal, I don't dart in and out of traffic, etc. Yet it seems like practically everyone else out on the road is completely unaware they share the road with other drivers. I don't get it. No more defensive driving, no more common courtesy, etc. Everyone is out for themselves. :

...and don't get me started on all the illegals on the road. Y'all up north have no idea what we put up with out here. Nothing like getting stuck behind some illegal afraid to go faster than 20 under the limit because they don't have current (or have forged) registration and no insurance. Plus a lot of them have their beer in a paper bag and are drinking them on the way to the job site. Not to mention their 6 kids, half of them in diapers standing up in the rear seat.
