Anytime I’m on the highway, going a legal five-ish miles over the speed limit in the right lane, some asshole always has to drive five inches behind me. If I’m really lucky, his highbeams are blinding me as well. And when he finally just does what he should have in the first place and passes me, I get shot a dirty look as they speed off into the sunset.

I don’t get it. I’m the proud owner of one speeding ticket, and that was enough for me. I doubt you have anywhere you have to be that requires you to go twenty miles above the speed limit, but that’s not even what bothers me.

If I’m going to slow for you, just pass me. It isn’t that hard, and you eventually end up doing it anyway. Why not just save yourself ten minutes and do it immediately? I just… I don’t understand. It’s one thing to be stuck behind a grandma going ten in a twenty five, but I consider five over the speed limit to be pretty good.

I always secretly hope that I’ll pass them being pulled over a cop farther down the road.
