Now I know that not everyone from Massachusetts is a Masshole - in fact, many take exception to the term, perhaps rightly so. But if anecdotal examples were somehow empirical proof of things, then I would come to the conclusion that the concept of multiple lane theory is missing from the Massachusetts drivers' instruction handbooks.
At least twice today I was stuck behind a line of cars in the passing lane, only finally get around (by passing on the right) to see those damned white plates. Each time as I passed, I gave the driver the "What the fuck?" look; and each time they stared back indignantly, as if I were the miscreant for my irritation with them. So for the Massholes out there, and anyone else who doesn't get it, let me exfuckingplain it to you.
The left lane is for passing people on the right only. There is no cruising in the left lane. Period. That's fucking it. You ride in the right or middle lane. When someone in front of you is moving too slowly for you, put on your damn signal, get in the left lane and pass them. Then, after you've passed them, you get the fuck back into your original lane as quickly as possible. If there are three lanes, and you want to go more slowly than the flow of traffic, get your ass into the right lane.
It's all pretty easy. Follow these simple rules, and the traffic will flow and we'll have road harmony. Ignore them, and some asshole like me, with much less patience and far greater anger issues, may just make your their hood ornament.

2 People had something to say...how 'bout you?:
It's called the Fast Lane in Massachusetts, not the Passing Lane. So get over it. xoxo

Well, they weren't going very fast, or I wouldn't have needed to pass 'em on the right now, would I! ;-)
Had a feeling I might hear from you on this!
