But I'll be damned if this doesn't happen. You all know the story--you are behind a car doing 60 in a 65 and you have to follow the car for a long time because there is no passing zones or there is too much traffic. Finally, you get your chance and as you speed up to pass the car you have to floor it because all of a sudden this asshat who has been doing 60mph for the last 10 miles is going more like 65-70 so you have to go like 75 to get around him/her.
It pisses me off.
Then, they kind of follow you for a while as you are doing 70 and they are doing 65 and then they realize they are going faster than before and the finally slow down.
There's so many idiots on the road who do this stuff.

It really is amazing. If somebody passes me, so what? It's not a race. And on the other hand, my passing somebody else isn't some raging expression of dominance. I don't care who you are, or where you're going. Just display a tiny little bit of common courtesy and move to the other lane. Really, it's not that difficult.
