Studies have shown that slow drivers in left hand lanes are a major cause of traffic jams.
When two cars next to each other go the same speed, there is no way to pass. This creates back up.
Yes then when there is opportunity to pass these idiots on the right a line builds up of idiots who refuse to do that so everyone behind them is now fricked. Then when the left lane group finally passes the right, without fail, the second or third car in that line will now get in the right lane thinking they're helping but really blocking the good drivers from being able to pass on the right. It should be a $1000 fine to drive in the left if not passing.

I used to unhealthily angry every time I drove. Like you, I realized that this wasn’t healthy, and I didn’t want to live such a large part if my life being angry.
Problem is, what to do about it?
I decided that I would only get mad at one of two non-perfect drivers. You know the two groups huh? Maniacs... those who drive faster and more aggressive than me. And Idiots... those who drive slower and less aggressive than me.
I reasoned the Idiots were the ones typically slowing the traffic flow, so I would no longer get mad at the Maniacs. And it wasn’t easy, but I did it.
After that, I decided I could just as easily let my anger pass from even the Idiots.
It worked for me. Feel free to try it. Good luck, life is too short to go through it mad.

Wait, so you’re saying somebody engaged in a bet with someone else started talking shite when it started to seem likely he would win the bet.
I refuse to believe this is possible. That has NEVER happened before. You are completely justified in handling this the way you have.

It’s 2019. There are a literal shite ton of ways to exchange $100 that do not require meeting in person. All of these ways are easier, more convenient, and safer than meeting in person.
You are simultaneously being a huge bitch and portraying yourself as a legitimately crazy person. And no, not crazy as in the badass, intimidating way. Crazy as in the shoot up a school way.

You know there's a right lane right? 3 seconds and your problem is over. Hot head.

You should have just called the police. They would have taken her rowdy arse to jail.

I just let my right tires ease over on the shoulder and start spraying gravel , they back off quick.

This is the reason I drive 15+ over the limit and pass people on the right all day. I only get annoyed when I can't pass them on the right

Who are the assholes though that tailgate in the middle and right lane?
From what I see, it's always some veiny dickhead in a pickup truck trying to get to the plant.
It's no coincidence that every time I see a vehicle buried up to it's windshield in the marsh, between slidell and the chalmette exit, it's a pick up truck.
Do those frickers think they're driving nascar or some shite?

Anger? I literally want to shoot them in the face.

Honestly, the thing that bugs me even more is when I’m in the left lane, going behind the flow of traffic with a safe distance between me and the car in front , passing cars steadily In the right lane, when the guy behind has to ride my tail.
There's a reason you leave about a car length of space between you and the car in front of you. That's really not even enough, but at least it's being courteous to other traffic.
There's no possible fricking way you can brake in time if there is standstill traffic and the car in front of you locks his brakes up. You will slam into the back of him and the 3-4 other cars in front of him going about 80. shite is off the charts dangerous to do. Yet these stupid motherfricking hot shot drivers feel like it's the way it should be all the time. And we wonder why there are so many multi car accidents on the interstate.

I had a road rage incident at a lady that stopped to turn right off of Florida boulevard near the library between Denham and Walker this morning. I stopped and yelled at her. I just got hit from behind last week because somebody stopped in front of me so maybe I have an excuse.

I have started to keep a Q beam in my car. Just shine through the back glass and they back off.

I do this all the time when assholes won’t make room for me to change lanes which makes absolutely 0 sense

What really pisses me off is the stretch on 10 westbound between the merge and Acadian where people ride in the Acadian exits all the way to the end and then abruptly stop traffic wanting to get over at the last possible second

Does anybody else get irrationally angry at these idiots? This shite drives me crazy. After an hour drive, I am generally drained from screaming and punching the steering wheel. This shite is not healthy.
You just described me.

Even if I try to stay calm, I can feel the anger boiling as I watch the idiot going a half mph faster than me in the left lane a tenth of a mile back. I try to stay calm, but this selfish shite just drives me crazy.
I need help before I get shot or ran over by an 18-wheeler.
Yeah, the fear of lashing out and getting shot is what has pushed me to tone back my anger.

What makes 0 sense is putting yourself and the car behind you at risk of a serious accident because you think you're teaching somebody a lesson. I get just as mad as the next guy at people driving slow and hanging out in the passing lane. But I'm also not about to double their stupid move with one of my own. Also, there is usually a bunch of misdirected hostility (as the guy I initially responded to was saying) because a lot of times, if I'm in the passing lane and a slow arse car is ahead of me, it's not my fault we're not moving faster. So why tailgate me?
