Had a weird one happened to me yesterday. Three lane Highway and I'm in the middle Lane. Going 70 mph in a 70 mph Zone cruise control on listening to a podcast just chilling. Weird lady just right on my bumper the whole way. Passing Lane wide open. She keeps trying to pass me on the right but I'm going faster than them so she keeps getting stuck and then ending up behind me again never once trying to pass on the wide open left passing line. This went on for 15 miles until finally she got off. Still don't understand why.

There’s a chance her vision is better at discerning shapes and colors on the right but not on the left. I remember my mother telling me that she couldn’t drive in the right lane because she couldn’t make out the road markings. And yes, she did always have a huge line of cars behind her.

You have a way more generous Spirit than I do. Of course I could see her face the rear View mirror and from what I can tell she was pissed off and not a pleasant person.

That, unfortunately, also described her. Complete impatience and a complex about control. I almost want to ask whether this woman drove a red sedan, but the chances are so infinitesimal that it’s not even worth considering whether they are one and the same.

Why did you capitolize "Spirit"? Are you saying they have a more generous fledgling budget airline than you do?

Seriously, how is Spirit still around? They're like the radioactive cockroach of the aviation industry.

Spirit is the only honest airline. Yes, it's cheap (in the bad sense off the word), but it's also the cheapest (in the money sense). You know exactly what you're paying for. I never feel taken advantage of with them. I feel my spine, my butt, my elbows, my neighbor's elbows...

Because the speech to text function capitalizes weird words and I'm too lazy to fix it.
