So I am driving home today, cruising along in the leftmost lane at 80 mph, along with the rest of traffic, until I reach some asshole driving at the speed limit (65 mph). I am forced to slow down, and with the rest of traffic going so fast I have a hard time switching and then passing. The left lane is the passing lane, drivers should always be passing traffic to their right (as I have learned from the wise people of ATOT). Why is there always some douchebag afraid of going over the speed limit that insists on driving slower than everyone else in the passing lane? This guy should have been written up for a ticket. I tailgated the asshole and it seemed have pissed him off, because when I passed him was yelling something at me. I go in front of him and slow down until I am just about rolling. He slams his horn and continues yelling, until he stops his car, gets out, and comes walking towards my card. I was thinking "wtf" and stupidly thought I would confront him and did not speed off. Well, actually, after I saw that he was a big, ethnic guy I decided I should probably leave. But by then he had opened my door and I hear him say "You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.” I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, “Nah, forget it. Yo, holmes to Bel-Air!” I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, “Yo holmes smell ya later!” Looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.

Thumbs up for effort. I wonder if people like spaceman work to attain inanity in their postings, or whether they are "gifted."

Also yeah, I hate it when the left lane slows down and I end up passing on the right. It feels weird.

I give slow drivers about 15 seconds to move over before I pass them on the right and cut them off HARD.

If they flash their lights or flip me off, I know I did it right.

Your story has absolutely nothing to do with the "punch line" sorry, but this just fell so flat.

What I hate is when this happens and I'm driving the company truck with the company name and logo on the side. I can't do nothing.

Even when these slow drivers are lawfully driving at the speed limit?
Especially if they're driving the speed limit.

If they want to do the speed limit, there are two lanes on a 3-lane interstate that they can do that.

If they are in the left lane, pass or get off the pot.

Pretty sure in 47 states it us legal to shoot fuckers who go the speed limit in the passing lane of a multilane freeway.

Besides the bottom of the OP I have to agree.

I fucking hate when im doing 80 and there are cars going 65 in the left lane.

I also hate when im driving in the right lane on the streets and up ahead an an intersection, some guy decides to make a right turn onto my direction of traffic (perpendicular before, then on my lane) and KNOWS im coming at speed limit, but litterally crawls to the speed limit (usually 45) , making me have to slam on my brakes because they dont want to press the gas

But wouldn't driving over the speed limit be considered speeding? Is the left lane only there for drivers who want to speed and get tickets?
