    I don’t think mine is either, but I don’t keep tabs on her. She may have a wild secret life.

    Nevermind. I forgot my sister doesn’t let my mom piss without somehow being involved.
    Carry on.

    Well, I mean, like you said, you don't keep track. Maybe they enjoy "together" time with some guys as that wild secret life..

    What if the driver was trying to pass you while yelling out the window at you that your mother was a blank and something about kicking your puppy?

    You need a fourth category.
    #4 Catching you like a Bat out of Hell and slowing down Immediately after coming over in front of you causing you to hit your brakes. This often requires a lesson in manners of what not to do. Sometimes passing them and demonstrating exactly what they did is an acceptable form of instruction. Hypothetically of course, I always forgive and forget, but others may not.

    How about, on a 3 lane highway, when I move to the center lane to pass a slower truck.
    The truck several hundred yards behind me moves to the right lane to pass me - when there is already a slower truck in that lane?
    He comes up next to me and behind the slower truck in front of him, but does not slow down.
    He just moves over into me, forcing me out of my lane.
    If there had been a vehicle in the left lane... there would have been some mangled trucks and people.
    And there was no one in the left lane when he moved to the right lane in the first place.

    That is slightly more insulting than a marginally faster truck trying to pass you.

    If I ever see that, I have a new dog, and the wife needs to meet me at the oasis. End of story.

    I don't know what is about me trying to pass someone that enrages them so badly.

    Dude. I'm going 62 by choice, because it's a safe speed. If you really wanna find out how fast this truck COULD go, it'd hurt your feelings. But then I just remember that I'm hourly, their mother raised them wrong, and slow down to 59.

    That crap irks me to no end on wide open highway. And then, you’ll have that same schmuck all of a sudden decide to floor it when you go around him because he’s crawling for whatever stupid reason.

    I’m guessing this was the subject of the last question of the OP’s poll.

    People who rush to get in front of your for one lane construction zones, then decide to do like 15 below the speed limit thru it.
