So true.

Before I retired from the USAF I commuted to work every day that I could. My commute was 14 miles each way, mostly flat. The first 12 miles were off base (Langley AFB, Virginia) the last two were on base where I routinely had more problems than off base.


One morning I had taken the lane behind a car, traffic was doing about 20 MPH in a 15 MPH zone. There was a line of vehicles in front of the guy I was following and a line of cars behind me. The jerk behind me (a Major) pulled up beside me (on my left) like he was going to muscle me over, I was in the LEFT part of the lane eight to ten feet behind the car in front of me. I glanced over at him and he was motioning me to move over. I shook my head no and motioned him to return to his position behind me. Surprisingly, he did. I think he realized he was being an idiot.
