Corollary: if I am in the left lane and I am in the process of PASSING slower traffic, I am allowed to be there and I will move out of your way when I am DONE passing. There is no need to ride my ass while I am doing 80 mph just because you want to do 82. My frustration comes if a driver is on cruise control doing 80 mph and passing a car that's going 79.5 mph, so they are essentially driving side by side for miles, with traffic backing up behind them. So my PSA would be, in that scenario, please step on your gas and get around the slightly slower vehicle so you don't cause a hazard. (Not saying you do this LM, but I see it all the time, and it really is a simple fix.) SaveSaveI don't, but I do see it all the time.

If your pea friends tell you not to get Windows 10 -- DON'T!!!. I was in the middle of typing something important and my computer screen went black and then told me that Windows 10 was downloading (because I had clicked Not Now for several weeks). It then told me that all my files and programs would still be there. Of course, when it finished, and I finally found my document and finished typing it, I suddenly had no printer. It told me to reinstall it, which I tried to do, but then it would tell me it was already there. After much frustration, I finally found a way to get rid of Windows 10, and all is well. My PSA: Listen to the peas!!

OMG. Can I just tell you that my son and I just had a full on, screaming meemee fight over this?? The kid with whom I never, ever fight with? He and I get along so amazingly well that we both were shocked at how heated the discussion got? We drove up to his soon to be college for his orientation. I was along for the ride to help him with the navigation as he was a little apprehensive about doing the new route on his own. I noticed he was cruising along in the left hand lane, and mentioned that it was a bad habit to get into. He claimed that it was fine, he would get out of the way if someone came up behind him. It went down hill from there, me claiming that it was unsafe, annoying and possibly even not legal (I may have made that one up.) He claimed it was no big deal if no one was behind him, he would move if he needed to, and that I was crazy making up road rules. He said he had JUST taken the drivers test while I took it back when the Fords were still in charge of the plant, and it wasn't just not illegal, but he was fine because he was paying attention. Blah blah blah. So if you come up behind him on the road, feel free to flash your lights, yell and shake your mommy finger at him. I wanted to spank him for his impertinence. In some states it is illegal. Tell him to quit being a dick hole. lol Oh yeah, there were a few choice (and decidedly UNmommylike) words thrown about. There was a highway patrol officer who pulled into a truck stop as we were driving by and I suggested that we stop and ask him about the potential repercussions of assholian behavior.
