I'm in the middle lane of the interstate slowly reeling in the car in front because my cruise control is set a mile an hour or two faster than his. When I reach a reasonable distance behind, and the left lane is clear, I signal, mover over to pass...and he speeds up.

You probably scared him because you are texting and driving... :whistling:

You have to pass them at such a high speed that they lose interest in being annoying.

Yeah.  So you are just hanging there, no longer gaining on him.   So you pull back into the right lane.   Then he slows down again.

Another thing I don't get is people's refusal to use a cruise control. I know they have one because they're driving a newer model vehicle in which about every one is equipped as standard. Yet they insist on yo-yoing their speed and causing an accordion effect on the line of traffic behind them. I don't mind slow drivers as long as they're consistent. It's the idiots who constantly vary their speed that aggravate me.

Are you kidding?  I love those idiots.  I match their speed, staying alongside until we catch up to the next car (hopefully slow-moving), neatly placing him in a box.  By this time a few more cars have caught up to me.  When they're bunched together like NASCAR, I hit the gas.  They follow and he's stuck there watching the whole parade go by.

When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

I use cruise control a lot too because I drive way too fast when I don't.  I feel the same way homebiscuit.  The funny thing is when you're passing these people and "dropping back", they probably think YOU'RE the one whose speed is yo-yoing.

Not gonna lie, I'm a repeat offender. I've done that on many occasions. I have even in the past started to wander into their lane. But I grew up a little and don't do that any more





...than once a week.

Since we're on traffic.  I can't stand it when people take 5 miles to accelerate to their speed.  They end up going 80, but it takes them 5 minutes to get there.  Then there's people who like to constantly move at stop lights.  They park 5 car lengths behind the next car, just so they can drift ahead every few seconds and stop again.  Then this causes a chain reaction of unnecessary constant movement at the stop light that makes no sense.

Jesus this thread took a turn I wasn't expecting, and right around dinner time too.

 

Nothing round or brown for me tonight.

I use cruise control for the opposite reason: when I'm driving on some out of town trip, I tend to gradually slow down.   So I use cruise control to maintain a minimum speed.

Movies are that way too. I can barely hear the dialog but the music or explosions knock the photos off the wall.

Websites that take their sweet time to insert a graphic or a video into the article you're reading.  

 

I'm reading along, and bam! everything shifts, I lose my place, I get a headache.   The worst one is NFL.COM.    Whenever I click on that website or a link within that website, I have to make myself look out the window and count to 20.
