    lol guilty as charged with slow driving (though not the constant braking. I take great pride in making a set of brakes last as absolutely long as possible). back to slow driving though: I'm a Sunday Driver seven days a week. And twice on Sundays lol

      I have zero problem with "slow" drivers. If I'm in such a hurry that I feel l Iike I need to pass everyone, that's on me. Can't be mad at anyone else for my decisions or my situation.

        Funny thing about the new GPS stuff (I hung onto the old school maps for as long as I could) is that it's made me understand how little time you actually save by speeding.

        Obviously, that will vary based on total distance, and what kind of route your on.

        But I quickly found out that the difference between going 15 over the speed limit versus 10 over the speed limit for say a 1 hour interstate drive is like 3 minutes and that's provided you don't hit traffic along the way.

          For sure. I mean, think about all the times somebody has passed you going WAY faster, and they are gone, but then you end up two cars behind them at a stoplight a 1/2 mile down the road. It did them zero good in that situation.

            I have a bit of a lead foot, but yeah, often felt like it helped me get to each red light faster.

                  The only time I can't stand it is when people cruise in the left lane on the Interstate when they're not passing someone. Get out of that lane if you aren't passing someone!

                      People who are just content doing next to no work and seemingly can't function without having friends around.

                      I was actually told today I was working too hard and I should just stop doing stuff since I'm done in 30 minutes. Not by a manager, but other coworkers. They know im clearly making them look bad (not on purpose, I'm literally just doing my job), and seem to be mad that I'm showing them up.

                      Solution to their problem is to complain about it to their other coworker friends who are also just standing around watching me work, occasionally "volunteering" to help me so it looks to managers like they're the ones taking charge and telling me what to do.


                      Actual solution should've been to do their own job and stop acting so lazy and stupid.

                        Yes. But then again there are those drivers who want you to move out of the middle lane of a 3 lane freeway if you aren't going fast enough. That I won't do lol.

                          You must be the guy that drives exactly at the speed limit and doesn’t exceed it, lol.

                            I used to be that guy lol. Now I'm more the 70 in a 65 zone guy.

                                I don’t even mind this because it’s to the rule, I can’t be mad, but when these drivers don’t use their signals it really grinds my gears. Why follow one rule and not the other?!
