I grew up in the 70's in California. The left lane was called the "Passing Lane", and you'd get pulled over if you were driving in it and not passing. In fact, it was patrolled so good that if you didn't get your passing over with, you'd get pulled over. It was the "Passing Lane". Soon as I moved to Oregon, that was the first thing I noticed, people driving in any lane they felt like and people passing on the right. After some time I realized it was because here in Oregon they call it the "Fast Lane". So they drive 5 miles over the speed limit and now they think they qualify to drive in the "Fast Lane".
I recall Maine being similar. “Slow Traffic Keep Right”. Apparently there is no slow traffic in Maine.

one thing that aggravates me is people mistaking rights as means to be an ass hole and rights for false entitlements. funny how quickly some of the entitled chants seem coming from other folks for other reasons. check out this guys parking. hes wealthy and has a more expensive car than others so he is entitled to park this way.

Yeah those jackasses are everywhere unfortunately. It's bad enough most I see parking in the handicap spots get out and walk just fine. But this one is a new low! ?

Paul @OrangeStreak, when did you get a new car? :oops:?

when some jack ass over tightens the oil filter on your 5g and you spend 20 minutes trying to removing it. of course no filter wrench fits in the space and filter sockets just slip. and then it hits you...
jack ass is me.

You know what really grinds my gears…

Retailers and shops, without automatic doors, that don’t unlock both of their entrance/exit doors. How friggin lazy is the manager or lead who can’t take the 2 seconds to open both? It’s a clear lack of respect and FU to the customer. Nothing like walking out with a coffee, push on one of the 2 doors and the exit side is locked. Open both of the damn doors already.

OK, feel better, thank you for allowing the rant. ?

while watching a bit of the "news" I noticed how poor all of the suspect video and pics seem to be for media clips.

All of those from media clips looking for suspects recently.
:mad:
meanwhile the cheapest free shipping buy now dash cam that came with all the connections and the memory card as a gift 22 bucks from ebay- hi def night vision and audio recording crystal clear even while bouncing around off road. and the door bell cameras are cheap now and all over the place also great clarity. so why the hell cant we get a decent clip of a suspect for the media to put out.... I feel like they pic the worst frame possible then blur it on purpose.

Like all the blurry pics of the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, UFOs, etc. It does make one wonder.

its a catch 22. if a good pic or clip shows up of one of those i typically assume its fake lol.
Good point.
However, crop circle pics are always high quality, and we know they are really from advanced beings from another planet/galaxy/solar system.

I wonder if those on other planets got COVID-19 and are also having supply issues with manufactured products.
