Driving home tonight I saw a "payback". It was great. There was the usual dummy in the left lane with no one to pass, no cars on the right; essentially an open road. Yet this jerk simply forgot the keep-right rule and was oblivious to his/her actions. I was forced to pass this clown on the right. He/she seemed displeased and sped up a bit. Of course this person had no feelings how it made me feel that for awhile I could not pass her/him at all until we broke free of the pack and even after waiting patiently for him/her to pull right, he/she did not, and did not give a damn if I wanted to pass. Then this person got a "payback". As I looked in my rear view mirror, this clown continued on in the left lane until he/she caught up with another "left lane hog" moving slower than him/her, and this person also did not pull over either. Had it been possible, I am sure I would have seen a look of embarrassment on this clown. How does it feel "hog", to be "out-hogged"?
