Let’s see…person who “couldn’t pass” is the one being tailgated by the car _in front_ of him. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ---

Coulda left out the ethiopian thing, and it lacked a certain, …“fun” factor. But all in all, I give it a 3. ---

> [@](#): > > \*originally posted by \ ***Monty** > > Let’s see…person who “couldn’t pass” is the one being tailgated by the car _in front_ of him. **Monty** , seriously, I think you need fucking help! I have read post after post, in thread after thread, where you make shit up. I think you actually believe it. How did you assertain that **Greathouse** complained that he was being tailgated by anyone, let alone the guy he was complaining about driving in the left lane ahead of him? I seriously hope you’re just sleep deprived; at least that can be remedied. ---

You are a completely full of shit asshole, x-ray. I clearly indicated in my posting on the first page of this thread where I was making an assumption and provided a description of why I felt that assumption was more likely than Greathouse just driving along in a responsible manner. & Jeff: You can go bathe in a septic tank for all I care. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GMRyujin \* > \*\*God, tell me about it. As much as I hate driving here in Atlanta, I hate New Orleans more. \*\* At least in Atlanta everybody goes too fast. That’s a lot easier to deal with in some ways. Except for the Road to Hell, 285. Too damn many trucks. That freeway scares me! (I’ve driven there a bunch of times, since I used to live in Augusta.) Here they go too fast, too slow, all over the fucking road wherever they feel like even if your car is in the way…I’d be willing to swear that every single time I drive anywhere here, I’m in a near-accident, and it’s invariably the other driver’s fault. I understand the OPs frustration all too well. ---

Hey, x-ray! I didn’t assert that Greathouse asserted that he was the one being tailgated. I asserted that it was likely that Greathouse was the problem driver who was causing a problem by tailgaiting the guy in front of him. I am now fully convinced that you are about 1/4 step above complete illiterate and 1/4 step below complete moron. ---

Where the fuck do you gather that **Greathouse** was being tailgated? Go back on your fucking medication and do us all a favor. ---

I just pointed out where you asserted that **Greathouse** _complained_ that he was the one being tailgated. ---

Whe you write, person who “couldn’t pass”, you are writing about **Greathouse** , no? immediately after that, “is the one being tailgated”; where the fuck do you get **Greathouse**"is the one being tailgated? Immediately after that, “by the car _in front_ of him.” Now that I picked it apart for your retarded ass, can you explain what the fuck you’re talking about? ---

Not to someone as obstinately stupid and foolish as you, apparently. You are evidently unequipped with the brains heaven gave a sack of rocks. When I gave my appraisal of the situation in the OP, I did not say–as you are intentionally falsely saying I did, you liar–that Greathouse himself asserted that he was being tailgated. I’m fucking done talking to you, you fucking lying sack of shit. ---

No, **Monty** , you can’t explain it to anyone, and now you’re using your usual tactic of giving up when someone puts the proof in your face and asks for an explanation. I never wrote that **Greathouse** himself asserted that he was being tailgated. Who is the fucking liar? Everything I wrote still exists in this thread. If I said it find it. I’ll admit I’m wrong, something you never do. One more time you blind motherfucker, your own quote: > [@](#): > > Let’s see…person who “couldn’t pass” is the one being tailgated by the car _in front_ of him. Where the fuck do you get that the person who can’t pass ( **Greathouse** ) is the one being tailgated by the car in front of him? You keep defending your position by insisting you are correct and name calling. Why not just explain how you could have written what I quoted you on, yet deny it? ---

On a stretch of I-35 far north of Texas–Des Moines, Iowa, to be exact–there are many closely-spaced exits and signs reading “Through traffic Keep Left”. Drive 5-to-10 mph over the limit while heading straight through town and nearly everyone behind you will flash headlights and point to the right. I, not having the magic native license plate that apparently serves as a talisman against speeding tickets for those travelling 10+ mph past the limit in Iowa, just point to the “Through Traffic” signs and stay my course. Of course, the worst drivers in that part of Iowa aren’t natives at all, but Minnesotans who think that Des Moines is supposed to be, at most, a 15-minute drive from the Twin Cities, and thus pass on the shoulder to get around people travelling the speed limit in the RIGHT lane. Interestingly enough, although these people are in such a hurry, they generally have time to slam on their brakes once they get in front of you and to creep along a couple tenths of a mile at 40 while weaving back and forth to prevent your passing them. They then resume at warp speed until they reach home or their next victim; whichever comes first. ---

The assumption I made about your driving as no worse than the one you made about the OP’s driving. But, wow. Based on your later posts, you are a seriously pathetic person. Just, wow. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-you-arent-passing-then-get-the-fuck-over/196841.md?page=3)
