Why would they have to do that? If they're in front of me, I'll move left to pass. If they're behind me, they're already behind me. Have you never driven on a highway before? This is pretty standard stuff.
If you're speeding, you won't be likely to see them in time to move over.
If they merge in front of you and you were going 90 in the right lane because it was "empty", you are personally trying to recreate a train by merging your cars together.
Choosing to go as fast as you want in the most unpredictable lane is bad driving even if you consider it standard bad practice.
So, I suppose I'll have to move left, as I said. Or, if the left lane isn't available I guess I'll have to summon up the energy to lift my right foot a bit, accelerators can be in more than one position.
This is not a difficult concept. Allowing someone to merge is a perfectly normal thing. I don't understand how you don't understand this.
Reading your comments is like watching one of those commercials for some cheap gadget that "solves" a problem I can't believe exists. You know the ones, where some hapless dweeb is struggling and fumbling to complete some simple task then looks at the camera and says "If only there was an easier way!" You can't believe anyone would buy this thing, but then you think if people this stupid didn't exist, neither would these commercials.
I guess what I'm saying is, assuming you're not just being contrary or trying to justify your own shitty driving, if you really think simple highway tasks are this hard, then for your own sake, since you obviously don't give a shit about anyone else, stick with surface streets and stay off the highway.
I'm not gonna live your fantasy, nor legitimize it.
Your insistence that I don't see things your way when at the root level I disagree with it is not changing me. Nor your petty insistence that I am somehow incompetent for being safe and cautious about driving instead of... Self indulgent.
You share the highway with people that aren't you. Get used to it.
Are you hangry? Maybe you could boil an egg. You could go to your drawer(s) filled with single purpose gadgets and dust off that egg slicer you got for three easy payments of $9.99.
While the water boils and the egg cooks you can use that time to convince yourself that the slicer is a totally normal thing to have and not at all indicative of an inability to perform simple tasks that others take for granted.
That's assuming you don't have another gadget that allows you to avoid that Herculean task by cooking the egg in the microwave...yet. If you do have one, I'm sure you can find time think about it on your commute while you're oblivious to the chaos you're causing around you.
What on earth is up with you and this childish notion of comparing me to kitchen gadgets? You clearly have a problem with other people that is not mine to solve, even if it makes you seem cruel towards accessibility.
Its really weird.
Also still disagree with you and will it take driving advice from someone I am stating is clearly following bad driving habits.
I'm not comparing you to a kitchen gadget. I'm saying if you can't figure out how to merge, and allow others to merge, you may be exactly the kind of inept person single-purpose gadgets are made for because you obviously struggle with simple tasks, and apparently also reading comprehension.
No.
You are being rude because people are not moving out of your way to let you do whatever you want and have decided I am a stand in for for them because I am pointing it out, and rightfully so that we do not need to all agree with you.
Single purpose gadgets also have their purpose but you are off topic on that. You are just willfully ignorant of others existence as shown time and time again.
So, no. No to all of what you are saying.
Your reading comprehension is once again lacking. I clearly stated my willingness to move or reduce speed to allow others to merge. I never said anyone needs to move for me.
I fucking knew it.
No. You still recommended dangerous driving of going 90mph in the right lane. You are a danger to others.
And yeah people with disabilities tend to need them and your insistence that they are dumb shows your lack of compassion and comprehension of others existence like your driving.
I recommended no such thing. You really need to work on your reading skills. Maybe use some of the time you save with your totally useful and not at all ridiculous purchases.
No, you did.
You just have an inherent stubbornness that you are right no matter what and a rudeness to ignore your own statements and those of others.
Again I will not legitimize your fantasy.
How does someone with reading comprehension skills past 3rd grade or so construe me saying what I would do as a recommendation to drive 90?
No I do not have a third grade reading comprehension, despite your insistence on seeing me as dumber than you.
Don't recommend reckless behaviour.
3rd, 2nd, 1st, details, details. You could definitely use some grammer school textbooks if you read anything I wrote and thought I recommended driving 90.
Nope, still just disagreement on your false interpretation of the conversation and reality of what you said.
Here you go bud.
"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son."
No, it is clearly not and I dont think you set a great example with whatever you are.
Your joke is not funny.
I disagree. I've got a few coworkers here getting a good laugh out of it. And my wife and a coworker of hers.
Got it. This is the only way you can communicate with others and you don't get a lot of social activity in Your real life outside of your fantasy.
You are not correct, this and your choices are still childish. Hope you don't get in a forseeable car accident and live long enough to be frustrated by the childishness of others when you get older.
That's rich, someone that can't even comprehend three simple sentences talking about a lack of communication.
I'll let you have the last word because you must be eager to get back to what I'm sure is a lot of fulfilling social activity.
If you need any more activities maybe you could start a book club. I've already given you your first selection. I'm sure anyone that interacts with you by choice could benefit from it as well.
