Shit that boils your piss

[chillidoggy]

Actually I do, just seeing if anyone noticed!

[dindude]

at least you know where they are and where they are likely to be in the next ten seconds.

Yes but do they? Have you ever looked at the expression of a 50mph middle lane hogger as you drive past? - it's the thousand yard stare, and the alertness of the deceased. I'm not sticking up for the bloke in the Audi acting like a prick, but there is no excuse for the lane hoggerds and it IS very dangerous in my book as they simply don't know what they are doing.

People who you know from work/school pick up etc, who can't be bothered to even acknowledge your existence if you pass them in the street.
Maybe they just don't want to be in any way associated with me but it really pisses me off.

Yes. Hence the thread called 'Shit that boils your piss'. It's not called 'Shit that is rational and has been ratified as a valid complaint by your peers - that boils your piss'. However, your comment 'if you're in the middle lane when you could be in the left lane then you're in the wrong place' marks you out as either deliberately obtuse or a not very experienced driver. As stated in my original rant, people who switch lanes every few seconds in an attempt to maintain this 'leftmost lane at all costs' theory are dangerous. Yes, of course you should, ideally, move to the leftmost lane where appropriate, but to weave in and out, overtaking and pulling back in constantly like some demented kangaroo is far more hazardous than the driver who sits in the middle lane for hours on end - at least you know where they are and where they are likely to be in the next ten seconds.

'Deliberately obtuse or not very experienced', hahaha, OK I get your drift now. Look, constant lane weavers can be annoying, granted, but if somebody is just trying to get to where they're meant to be (as far left as possible) whilst some oblivious driver has set up residence in the middle lane you can't really blame them. What are they meant to do? Sit patiently behind at a respectable distance simply to mollify another driver's ignorance? Lane changing is allowed - that's sort of the point of a three-lane motorway - and if some berk is sitting in the middle at 60 then it seems reasonable to use the lanes to get past.

Yeah - damn those idiots who drive according to the law and the highway code. What a bunch of twits, eh?

Load of bullhonky.

It's health and safety gone mad I tells ya!

You know what gets my goat? People who don't drink toilet cleaner. Just because it says not to on the label and it's enormously dangerous doesn't mean they have the right to not drink it if I want to drink it.

I object to people who pick up my littering. Frankly it's more convenient for me to leave shit everywhere, and when people pick up after me in the street it's just creating more problems for others to get past these loitering idiots picking up everybody else's litter.

Father Jack agrees with you fully!

Perhaps if I had a video of what I meant, it would be easier to understand. I don't - so we'll have to make do with words. I'm talking about people weaving in and out of lanes FREQUENTLY in order to fulfil their obsessive desire to maintain the leftmost lane at every possible moment. People who move from lane 3 to lane 1 in a single manoeuvre (which in itself is dangerous). You never see 'normal' drivers who are just overtaking a middle lane hogger do the full sweep to lane 1 manoeuvre - they overtake in lane 3 and then return to lane 2 - and then, IF there is plenty of room, move to lane 1.

Oh, never mind. It just seems trivial now.

...and Sporky.. stop it... BAD beaver. You are mischieveiously fanning the flames of misunderstanding.
