cattle

Sam O'Nella 3 February 2005 20:53:36
 I have to chuckle at the cattle I encounter on the highways. I'm not
referring to farm creatures, rather the ones behind the wheel.

What is it about some people that makes them "hang" with others?

Last night I'm driving down the highway. I pass a car, gain some space then
pull in front. They proceed to speed up, get in the left lane beside me and
LLB. WTF? They hung like that for 30 miles, back and forth right beside
me, until I got off at my exit. I was on cruise control and they obviously
weren't; they were just mindlessly servoing to my position.

It made me wonder why they felt like they "needed" to be so close to me.

I think you're making stuff up again. Things like that never happen to
me.

They do happen to you; you simply don't notice it because you don't
notice anything that isn't 10 feet in front of your bumper. You're one
of his aptly-described highway cattle.

 You're too stupid to notice it if it did. I mean, you can't tell the
difference between "6" & "60"? What a moron you are.

 I forgot about that one.

By the way, thanks for the link to that "classic" post; I've been
looking for it for a while. :-D­

Who the hell wants to go at 30 MPH next to a jalopy that's belching
smoke? (And I don't mean the car...)

A - we were pretty much the only ones on the road,

Except for that squirrel that suddenly decided to dart out into the
road, causing your duckling buddy to swerve to the right... right into
YOU.
B - I'm not going to cancel my cruise control unless I really need to

Would you consider "avoiding a collision" to be enough of a need to
alter your speed?
C - I was really curious just how long this goofball was going to do this.

You may have had no accidents for 25 years, but that must be because
you're 25 years old. There's no way you have been DRIVING for 25 years
and never seen a duckling before.

As for curiosity, you'll recall that's what killed the cat.
Believe me, I wasn't going to permit a dangerous situation to exist.

You contradict yourself. You allowed another vehicle to violate your
space cushion for 30 miles - on the danger meter, that's at least a 5.

Heh - well, I'm 45, and I've seen *plenty*.

But I do appreciate your input, and it does make sense. But I wasn't going
to speed up as I was already at the upper limit of my speed "window", and
slowing down would have put me behind the goofball, and I'm quite sure he
would have simply done the same and hung with me anyway. Maybe someday
you'll experience one of these road leeches yourself.

Salmonella, such misfortunes couldn't happen to me. And you know why? I
DRIVE IN THE LEFT LANE! Ducklings usually can't keep up because of the RLBs
they encounter.

So you waited for someone to "get it", and you don't want to be a Salmonella
any more? You want to be "John Harlow"?

While I am always prepared to resort to this if necessary, I have yet
to encounter a duckling persistent enough to require it.

Looks like "Brent's Curse" has joined "Murphy's Law" in the cultural
lexicon. :)­
