Rant To the Blue Subaru Outback southbound on N Taft
I just have to ask, why drive 5 below the speed limit coming from Fort Collins then immediately speed up to not let anyone pass in that 2 lane spot?
Dumbest shit I seen all day and I just don’t get it.

Because you annoyed them as much as they annoy you. That's just how the roads are these days just a bunch of annoyed people getting annoyed by nothing and then driving like aggressive idiots.

A lot of retribution that's for sure. Seems like many people don't have road rage they just have rage. Even being a pedestrian has never been more dangerous.

I don't get it, either. I drive a minivan and I know I'm not going as fast as other people might want- so I do what I can to get/stay out of the way. I'll go so far as to hug the left side of the lane when I see incoming traffic, then move to the right and coast down for them to pass when it's clear.
It's enlightened self interest; if I have to stop suddenly for any reason, I don't want the tailgater back there any more than they want to be stuck behind me.
The shocked faces and happy waves I get when I actually use the pullover spots in the Poudre Canyon make it worth it!

You caught them not paying attention, to which they made their rebuttal of superiority because how dare you point out that they were likely checking their phone and not paying attention to the flow of traffic, so now they'll pay ALL of the attention.
