Saw some crazy ****ing shit at 95th and State Line yesterday in rush hour.

Not sure what the start was, I suspect someone cut someone else off, but the first thing I saw was a fast food cup flying through the air. It came from the car (Car A) in front of me, hitting the car in the lane directly opposite (Car B).

It's a red light so everyone is stopped. Whoever threw the cup GETS OUT OF Car A and starts screaming at Car B, beating on the window. This goes on for about 30 seconds.

Then the passenger side door opens on a van in front of them. Someone yells back for the idiot who got out of Car A to put a sock in it and get back in your car so traffic can proceed.

Then the passenger side door on Car A opens, and someone else starts yelling at the van. They both walk up to the passenger in the van and start screaming at HIM.

Now the light has changed, so the van drives off. Car A's occupants walk back to Car B, one of them SPITS in the half-open window. They get back in Car A. Then the driver of Car A retrieves an item from her car, gets out again, and throws it through the window of Car B. They drive off.

I assume it was a lit cigarette or joint. Whatever it was, it was so foul it made the driver of Car B exit her car and go to the side of the road, passing in front of me. At this point I drive off, happy this happened at State Line and not Troost, where I would have been caught in a hailfire of bullets and died heroically.

Fun times in Waldo.

If there is somebody behind you move over

Eh....naaaah. There's a limit.

The flip side of people going too slow in the passing lane are the dickheads that think the passing lane is the Autobhan.

If i look down and im doing 80-90MPH in the fast lane and you're running up on me fast and tailgating me, you can get ****ed. Fast lane doesn't mean "excessive speed" lane.

Must be nice. In Johnson County they'll arrest you for eating an After Eight at 7:45.

Correct. If I'm going close to 10 MPH over I'm not budging.

If I see someone driving way too fast or generally stupidly I try to let them by so they can get as far the **** away from me as possible.

Anything over the stated speed limit is acceptable. One should not expect someone to break the law by speeding to pass u

Same in OK, but they don't enforce it, sadly.

I had a job where I drove 3-4 days a week all over the state, eventually I realized that when I was driving from one location to the next that I was mostly free from the job. Unless someone called me, I wasn't expected to respond to email until it was convenient. I could listen to books on tape, youtube, basketball games, whatever... and so I learned to be much more patient in traffic bc I realized I was getting paid to spend like 80% of my work time sitting around in it.

Wrong. You need to move.
I don't care is somebody wants to speed. Its their risk.
In addition when I'm on my motorcycle I just want free from vehicle space, so often I look for it by going faster then the cluster of vehicles, which means even if you are going 10 over in the left lane I want you to move so I have pole position.

Just as easy to pass someone in the right lane

If I'm in the left lane going ~10 mph over, and some DB comes flying up on me, I'll only get over if the next lane over is clear or going the same speed as me. If that lane is considerably slower, I'm staying put until I'm sure I'm not going to get caught in slower traffic.
