You know that guy, the one that just passed you in the right lane during rush hour, then swerved back in front of you, as if to say, “hey idiot! Can’t you go any faster?” You then end up tailing him for the next 20 miles. Sometimes, if he’s especially clever, he’ll try to get around a few more cars before finally dive-bombing an exit ramp from three lanes over. W00t! Good job, dude! You just shaved 15.2 seconds off your commute!
