    If you’re throwing the word “liberals” around, you’re an authoritarian, which is no better than being a fascist.

    This is why I can’t stand Tankies and establishment Democrats. You can’t claim to be a champion of human rights, while simultaneously supporting the governments that egregiously violate peoples’ human rights. Complete and utter hypocrites.

    Edit: See what I mean? All of you suck.




  • I didn’t say that I “never slow down”. I was just pointing out that it’s irritating having to slow down and speed up all the time. I rather just change lanes so I can maintain my speed.

    The point I’m making is that I don’t understand why people like OP would rather take the wrong exit than simply change lanes to get to where they need to be. If you’re afraid to change lanes, then your mirrors are probably set incorrectly. It also couldn’t hurt to buy blind spot mirrors if your car doesn’t have them (or at least blind spot monitors). They’re only about $3.

    And if you’re still afraid, then you shouldn’t be driving at all. Scared drivers are dangerous drivers.




  • Maybe I’m not explaining myself well enough:

    I drive 15 MPH over the speed limit in the right lane, so that people don’t tailgate me (but as I’ve pointed out, they still do anyway). I pass on the left, unless they’re illegally blocking the passing lane, doing the speed limit. In which case I have no choice but to pass on the right. I give people a chance to switch lanes but they rarely do. People like to just pick a random lane and drive one speed in it the entire time, completely unaware of their surroundings. Except when they don’t.

    Maybe you live in an area where drivers are consistent and courteous, but I don’t. Drivers are all over the place, which is why I have to be adaptable. Everything is made up and the rules don’t matter where I live.

    I don’t care what the manual says; it is wrong.

    I’ve been using dishwashers all of my adolescent and adult life. I know what a proper load looks like.

    But don’t take my word for it, watch the dishwasher saga on Technology Connections, and then try to tell me that the manual is still correct. Alec literally installed a window in a dishwasher to test what I’m saying. Are you going to tell me that you’re not going to believe what you can see with your own eyes?


  • Huh? How does changing lanes to pass someone make me an asshole? That’s what passing lanes are for! Please explain. I don’t understand these downvotes.

    And no I don’t drive a BMW. I think they’re ugly, especially in a boring color like white (except for the Z series, and even those still have the ugly BMW grille).

    No. I prefer Asian vehicles. I drive a 350Z Roadster Touring 6MT w/the DE engine in Daytona Blue.


  • I never cruise in the passing lane, ever. It’s a major pet peeve of mine. If I’m not passing anyone, I’m as far right as possible.

    Unfortunately literally nobody else does this in my town. They drive side-by-side and then get upset when I try to go around. Going the speed limit does not give you the right to block traffic, assholes. Drives me insane.


  • I see this all the time on the road and I just don’t get it. People would rather tailgate me for miles than change lanes and go around. Someone please explain why people are like this.

    Meanwhile I’m changing lanes the the very moment I see a car going slower in front of me. One thing I absolutely hate is having to turn off the cruise control once it’s on, and I use it everywhere, even on city streets (I drive a sports car so it’s easy to accidentally speed if I don’t).

    Edit: I don’t understand these downvotes. What’s wrong with using the passing lane to pass? Why am I the asshole because someone is afraid to change lanes? I already drive 15 MPH over the speed limit, and always stick to the right when I’m not passing (even though no one else in my city does this). So if you’re tailgating when I’m already doing my best to be more courteous than the average person in the road, that makes me the dick?

    Someone please explain why this comment is triggering so many people. I really don’t get it.
