Yup! You know what is an epi-fucking-demic? People just cruising in the left lane. VA actually has a whole campaign about it now. That causes such a giant clusterfuck.

Let me know where you can do more than cruise and get away with it. Any of the semi well traveled areas where I drive (between Richmond and DC) have cops with speeds guns lying in wait, thick as flies at the dump. There are stretches of I-95 and I-295 where there are constantly one of them every half mile hiding in the wooden median. I go 4-5 over the limit and that is it.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

All I'm saying is this (I mostly drive I81), drive 90, drive 60, I don't care, but when you pass someone, get over. Don't just sit in the left lane assuming you'll eventually pass someone else, because what ends up happening is eventually someone catches up to you, passes on the right (MAYBE) and maybe gets caught behind someone going slower in the right lane causing the aforementioned clusterfuck. If everyone passed at a decent clip whatever speed they're going and just got over, congestion would go down significantly. TMC science says so.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Now a days i feel like the middle lane is the slow lane. The slow drivers seem to camp out in the middle lane now a days.

This this this...Middle lane(s) always feels the most unsafe because of this. I feel the far right lane is just another passing lane

Yup. I don't often drive up there, but I notice most people chill in the middle lane so they don't have to react to anyone getting on the beltway from the right.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Christmas Cold...man I was sick as fuck from Monday thru this morning. Missed all the Christmas family events.

I got my flu shot...so at least not that, but the older you get the slower the bounce back.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Boss doesnt drink coffee.

Boss decides we have too many coffee cups in kitchen so he throws away half the coffee cups. I asked him why he threw away all the good coffee cups (the newer larger 16 oz ones) and left the old dirty 10-12 oz ones.

He said bc those were the ones at the front of the cabinet.
Co-worker tells him that bc those are the ones we use.

Now I am walking around the office with the coffee right at the brim of my mug spilling on my hand and floor. And these mugs are old as hell. All dusty and perma-stained.

I think he was pissed bc very few people showed up to work on Christmas Eve.
