So I was going west bound on I-20 heading from Big Spring to Stanton about 7:45 am the other day. Traffic wasn’t too bad and I was running way late. There was about 5 of us doing well over 85 and closer to 90 and playing nice.
Then, a pickup and little white car got into a pizzing match over who was going to get in front of who.
The dam pickup was swerving between left lane and right lane blocking little white car .
There was 18 wheeler in right lane and pickup guy was getting about 8’ from that trailer at times. There was other 18 wheelers in slow lane way to close to avoid pick up guy and little white car if they got together and wrecked.
There was other vehicles in fast lane. I gave up my spot and blinkered my way into slow lane and slowed way way down as did other people. I just flat don’t get it.
What in the world causes people to risk their lives and a bunch of other lives fighting about who is going to get in front of who? SMDH.

I don't get it. I pulled onto the highway today with the nearest approaching vehicle a black pickup at least 1/2 mile away from me. I got onto the accelerator pretty good and I was going 70 shortly. The black pickup guy had to have been going close to 100 because he was on my bumper in no time.
A mile down the road we got to a passing lane. I pulled into the right lane, doing about 72, and he blew by me on the left. Then, about 50 feet past me, he slowed down to about 72 himself.
I guess he just wanted to pass me. Why? What was the point of hammering it to tailgate me, then pass, then slow down? Was it a dominance thing?

People drive terribly and act like children behind the wheel. I don't want any part of it and stay in my lane so to speak.
Everyone is a billy badass these days.

The ones that get me. I can be in the middle or right lane doing 75-78. Someone will come up on my left just flying. Then when they get close they will set off my back bumper in the lane next to me and not pass. No one is in front of them. I have to slow down for slower traffic in my lane. Waiting on that person to my to decide to pass.

I haven’t watched TV in years and did so last night.
When did people start yelling on TV all the time? For no apparent reason, but to emotionally trigger the audience. Back in the day, the only ones that did this were Morton Downey Jr, Robin Leach, that Current Affair dude, and Geraldo. Now they all do it. It’s insane.
I did not enjoy this and was happy again when the TV channel was changed to a movie channel.
