Pet peeve...

I don't have many pet peeves and I can't even name a handful of mine for you at this time, but this weekend made me realize one of my biggest! People who drive UNDER the speed limit!!!

I have been known to be a bit of a speeder when it comes to driving, however I would like to state for the record, I have only gotten 1 ticket and I was only going 104 in a 90 (for my American family that's in km, which would be 64 in a 55)...I would also like to state, in recent years since getting my new car I have calmed down on the speeding and try to follow the "standard" over the limit speeding...

On Sunday while driving out to Rob and Sandy's I got stuck behind a little old lady driving 60 (in an 80), I knew she was old cause I couldn't see her head over the headrest, but I could see her gray hair in the mirror! Now as soon as I notice it's a little old lady I slow right down and drop about three car lengths back and settle in cause I know its going to be a long drive...The road is busy and there are tons of hills, so I know I am not passing anytime soon...Well, grandma decides she's going to do the "smart" thing and pull over so I can pass her, but she didn't pull off far enough and half of her car was still on the road, so I still had to wait for the oncoming traffic to pass, so I could pass her...I hope the old lady made it where ever she was going and stayed there cause I don't think she should be out driving around by herself...

I thought my drive home would be better, it was 10pm, so I figured it would be a quick drive as not many people would be on the road...I was wrong! I got stuck behind a car going threw Elmira doing 40!!! 40!!! I couldn't pass them the whole way...I was so mad I completely tail gated them (yes I am admitting to breaking the law)...I even considered flashing my brights because when the speed limit increased to 60, they were still going 40!

I have no issues with people following the speed limit...I do wish everyone drove 10 over, but if you decide to be a good law abiding citizen, more power to you! Just please don't drive under the speed limit...It causes so many people (me) so many frustrations!
