Daily Gripe

Hello, my name is Stu. Today my gripe is about people who drive on the road. And that could be quite a few people. My biggest complaint is drivers who are driving in the left hand lane on any interstate or a highway where the speed limit is more than 45. Actually it’s on any highway that I travel on. Yes, that would be you. If I remember correctly the left lane is used for passing. This means if you are in the right hand lane behind Mr. Pokey, talking on his phone, having breakfast, reading a roadmap or just plain oblivious to the world: this is the criteria.

Make sure no one is in the left lane.
Turn on blinker and proceed to left lane.
Step on the gas and move forward at a high rate of speed.
Give Mr. Pokey the finger.
Swerve over into the right hand lane directly in front of Mr. Pokey.
Slowing down is acceptable.
If Mr. Pokey tries to pass speed up.
Once he has given up slow down again.
Continue this process till you feel warm all over.
If that warmth is from the coffee, hire a lawyer.

That is what the left hand lane was made for – NOT – driving slowly, looking around or not, trying to smell the roses through closed windows. You can be oblivious at home in your driveway. Oh, and don’t even try to make that right hand turn from the left hand lane! Road rage is not beneath me.

Regards,

Mr. Pid
