I'm a slow eater too. I enjoy my food, and a meal is an event. My wife is usually done eating by the time I'm getting a good start. Are you always in a hurry to be done with other enjoyable activities also?
Aggressive drivers are a big pet peeve of mine. I despise aggressive drivers. Where's a cop when you need one, to haul that jerk off to jail for reckless driving?
I was driving with the family up the gorge about a week ago, somewhere near Multnomah Falls. There was a string of traffic in the slow lane, and a string of traffic in the fast lane slowly passing them. I'm in the fast lane with a car ahead of me and some jerk riding my tail. There was an empty spot on the right so this joker zips over and flies up on the right, then goes to cut in around me, between me and the truck I was passing! There was literally less than a car length; I had to slam on the brakes to avoid being run off the road! At 70 mph, with nowhere to go! I was furious. He didn't accomplish much either, because there was a string of cars in front of him. People like that should lose their license for reckless driving.
So yeah, if you drive that way, you're a bad person. If you want to drive like a maniac, but are still considerate and don't endanger other people, go ahead and have at it, so long as you're risking your own life and not others. Personally I have no problem with driving the speed limit, or with a reasonable flow of traffic. I have little use for people who have to go full throttle everywhere they go; it's just stupid.
