"But I want to go fasterrrr! Why doesn't he goooooooo?!?!?" One time, a man and a lady in a Harley Davidson edition F150 got so mad at my for doing this that they were both screaming at me through my open sunroof, threatening to get out and physically assault me etc. They kept yelling at me to "learn how to drive". It as grid-lock traffic and we'd have minutes at a time of complete stoppage. That was a pretty awkward hour of my life. |

The other time was after cruising during a lot of short stop and go intervals (so it was easy to judge crawling speed, that is to say). I eventually switched to the lane I needed and the guy who was rubberbanding behind me the entire way (pretty much going 1-10-1mph constantly instead of just sitting at 3 like me) pulled next to me and shook his head. I had a good feeling why, so I rolled down my window as we came to a stop next to each other at a light and asked if there was a problem. He said, "You drive like a dumb ass". "Oh, I do? Please tell me what I was doing wrong so I can improve". "You just drive like a dumbass". "No really, you seem like you know a lot about driving, please enlighten me". And he rolled up his window, the light turned green but he accelerated before the car in front of him had a chance to go (perhaps to get away from me, I'm 6'2" and 250lbs.), and then slammed on his brakes again...
Dunning-Kruger, if you ask me.
