Hell Is Other People

It is so simple.
In the words of Jean-Paul Sartre, "Hell is other people."  

As I drove into work this morning, I was stuck behind an old lady in a new Mercedes sports car, going 55mph in a 65mph zone, right next to a dump truck going the same speed, which was slowly passing some kind of Sanford-and-Son jalopy pickup in the right lane.  I was not alone.  There were dozens of other vehicles right behind me, desperately trying to maneuver around this little clump of stupidity, to no avail.  Words cannot express how enraging that is.


The Slower Traffic Keep Right Campaign




It is a very, very simple idea.  Move right, let the faster traffic pass.  And why would you buy a fancy sports car if you are going to drive it like that, you jackass?  Hey law enforcement, here's an idea.  Start ticketing these assholes.  It is a posted traffic regulation, you know.   


I don't really have anything else this morning.  I just had to vent.  Enjoy your day, Dear Reader.  Just remember to move the fuck over to the right lane.
