People who loiter in the left lane.

You know what really grinds my gears?  People who loiter in the left lanes while driving.

I always thought that it was called the passing/fast lane for a reason, yet for some reason I always find my self being forced to slow down 20-30 mph for someone who is chillin’ in the left lane.    This really annoys me, not so much because it slows me down or because I am too lazy to downshift again - ok actually I am both of those things, but it also robs me of what little fuel economy I do get by having to accelerate back up to speed again after I pass you.

The simple rule of thumb is that if the traffic to the right is moving the same speed or faster, get the hell over!    If there are cars piling up behind you, get the hell over!    I have no issue getting over when someone behind me is going faster than I am, so why can’t you?

By far my favorite part of this whole ordeal, is the brake check.    First, let me explain something to you, I’m driving a bad ass little sports car with  13″ rotors and Z06 calipers, so unless you are in a Ferrari I am going to out stop you.   Yet it never fails, I courteously give someone the ole flash to pass and they get offended and decide to slow down and then try to lock em up.   :slaphead:

IDIOTS!
