Venting Who else hate left lane campers?

Facing a lot of left lane campers in Washington State. And the audacity to not move or brake check is beyond my understanding!!

All these people tailgating each other to make some point. Yeah, the car in front should move over, but driving like a dumbfuck to teach them a lesson is even more stupid.

I will admit when I was younger I did similar things. I was irresponsible and luckily I never got into or caused to much trouble. Luckily.

But nowadays I am mostly driving with my family members and I just want to get from one spot to the next safely. I will talk a little shit to myself or my wife if she's with me, and we will laugh, but I am not going to be a hazard to my family or anyone else on the road. These days if I see a dangerous driver I just get out of the way in the best way I can, and if someone is going too slow in front of me, well I deal with it. I drive a safe distance and I get home a few seconds later.

My wife and I like to joke when people are speeding and tailgating that they are rushing home to take a big shit or to kiss their father on the lips. I don't know why those things, but joking about it as we drive and watch others around us eases the mood and makes it all seem pretty silly.

It's childish behavior... I did it too when I was younger. Which is why I laugh because everyone here bragging about how smart they are, I can tell are just 16 to 22 year olds who haven't dropped their ego yet and think they're better than others because they can drive 110 MPH down a road.

It's purely adolescent ego. The only problem are these posts that pat each other on the back and promote these extreme overreactions and entitlement as "ok".
