Non-religious pet peeves

I try to make these idiot overtake me whenever possible.  When I can't, I just go slower and slower anyway.  If a row starts, I just tell them that the safe following distance depends on the speed - if they reduce the distance, I'll reduce the speed.

Ye I do that sometimes to piss them off, my options are limited, I don't own a magnum, not even a replica.
I usually drive as fast as the law allows and bit more that I think I can get away with, you can't get away with much these days.

If a row starts, I just tell them that the safe following distance depends on the speed - if they reduce the distance, I'll reduce the speed.

That sounds reasonable but how do you conduct these rows?
Are you yelling to each other out your car windows as you go along?

No, my slow-down tactics have more than once come to a dead stop and a slanging match.

I've never understood why those people are reluctant to actually pass when the opportunity presents.  When we moved, we were hauling a load of furniture in the truck and some cunt tailgated us for about 5 miles down secondary roads.  There were several double lanes along the long, and every time we would move over and slow down to allow plenty of time to pass.  Followed us every damn time. 

In a similar vein, people who cut you off only to drive UNDER the speed limit.  If you're going to cut me off, you better be in a fucking hurry.

I hate it when that happens too. I like to reach the speed limit and stay there, and when someone prevents me from that it pisses me off. Problem is, any display of impatience such as honking or flashing lights will get them to usually drive even slower, just to annoy. What if there's an emergency for FSM's sake?!

I don't consider myself to be an aggressive person but when driving I think that some people should stay off the fast lane.

When I was a young sprog, I had several motorbikes with such poor headlamps that at night I was all too glad when a car was following fairly close and lighting up the road for me.  Since old bikes also had appalling brakes, I wasn't likely to get shunted.

I'd put sheep much higher up the list - just below liberals and lefties, but above christians.

Just to clarify, we're not talking about left handed people right?
