cattle
 

I have to chuckle at the cattle I encounter on the highways. I'm not
referring to farm creatures, rather the ones behind the wheel.

What is it about some people that makes them "hang" with others?

Last night I'm driving down the highway. I pass a car, gain some space then
pull in front. They proceed to speed up, get in the left lane beside me and
LLB. WTF? They hung like that for 30 miles, back and forth right beside
me, until I got off at my exit. I was on cruise control and they obviously
weren't; they were just mindlessly servoing to my position.

It made me wonder why they felt like they "needed" to be so close to me.

I think you're making stuff up again. Things like that never happen to
me.

They do happen to you; you simply don't notice it because you don't
notice anything that isn't 10 feet in front of your bumper. You're one
of his aptly-described highway cattle.

You're too stupid to notice it if it did. I mean, you can't tell the
difference between "6" & "60"? What a moron you are.

Or "41," and "25..."

Yes, but never deliberately. In fact i got a speeding ticket about 5
years ago for doing 41 in a 25. I just about kicked the cops teeth in
cause i was sure he was lying. No way the SL on this wide open
stretch could be 25, i thought."

I forgot about that one.

By the way, thanks for the link to that "classic" post; I've been
looking for it for a while. :-D

Who the hell wants to go at 30 MPH next to a jalopy that's belching
smoke? (And I don't mean the car...)

Nope; no accidents in 25+ years.

Why did I allow this happen you ask?

A - we were pretty much the only ones on the road,
B - I'm not going to cancel my cruise control unless I really need to, and
C - I was really curious just how long this goofball was going to do this.

Believe me, I wasn't going to permit a dangerous situation to exist. It was
more entertaining than anything.

It's all fun and games until the duckling is suprised by a tire
"carcass" in his lane.
