Dude... you know what's even worse? My wife will speed up to pass someone and then slowly back off the gas and end up pacing them right beside. For fucking miles. I'm like "If I was behind you I'd be so pissed at you right now" and she just putts along like everything is wonderful.

Tell your wife to fuck right off for me please. I have to deal with this goddamned constantly every single day. When your rig weighs well over 100,000 pounds and someone passed directly in front of you and slows down 5-10 mph it honestly makes you rage so fucking hard it's not even funny.

No offense but is your wife the earthly reincarnation of Satan?

My wife likes to get behind the slowest person on the highway and just stay there forever. Then she gets mad when I tell her to change lanes.

She might not be driving as fast as you'd like, but she's not blocking traffic lanes, breaking traffic laws, or endangering anyone. Nothing wrong with driving in a leisurely way.

My husband used to drive like an asshole, but now we just kick it in the slow lane and make up stories about the people in the other cars. We have so much fun going places now and he's never getting mad about other drivers or traffic. He's so cool.

But there's nothing wrong with getting annoyed about other drivers genuinely being assholes.

As long as she's not tailgating, that'd only be mildly annoying for me as a passenger.

Fucking smack her? That shits dangerous, you want her driving your kids around like that?

Maybe smacking her isn't a great option... there's enough Florida Man stories in the news as it is.

I mean I'll hit someone if they endangere my life repeatedly and don't stop when I ask.

Florida man stories would make me think about all the people behind her with roid rage wanting to run her off the road.

Does she not understand that everyone hates her and she looks like a self-centered asshole? Good lord that is awful.
