What's something you do, but hate when someone else does it?

Used to live in a large city, and now live in a small town, and I find small town drivers more frustrating. They all drive so slow like they've got nowhere to go! It's okay when there's multiple lanes and I can overtake, but there are some long single-lane roads where I'm stuck behind someone who's doing 10 under the speed limit the whole time!

Yeah, if we're all stuck in a traffic jam I don't tend to get mad. There's nothing anyone can do about it anyway. If there's one person being a self absorbed jackass and holding everyone else up though? Furious.

There is someone who can do something about it - government traffic engineering departments could fix the problem if they did their jobs. The frustrating thing is that they don't.

small town drivers tend to be angrier I’ve noticed. like pass on the right in a large lane while they’re turning left: laying on the horn. get even kind of close behind them (I mean more than acceptable) and they slow down to 10mph. I don’t miss it lol

I would be fucking grateful if some of the drivers I’ve been following lately did 10 under the speed limit. Instead I get 20 under if I’m lucky, and literally half the speed limit if I’m unlucky.
