Yes, I am in the left (fast) lane. I am driving a relatively safe speed of 5 mph over the speed limit, as is common. You do not need to go faster than that. You are so close you're practically in my trunk you impatient gently caress.

Are you actively passing someone? Continue on and gently caress tailgaters.

Are you camped out in the fast lane and not passing? Or staying there to pass the next car in the middle lane a hundred or more yards away? I hate you with all that I have.

No, I don't camp out in the fast lane. I made a point of saying that I go at least a little above the speed limit because the impatient fucks will always show up whenever someone in the right lane decides to match speeds with me. Now I've got the impatient gently caress on my rear end, and my options are 1) Go way over the speed limit in order to completely pass, then let the impatient gently caress through, or 2) Slow down and get behind the right lane. Both of these will likely cause an accident, because some impatient gently caress just HAS to go faster.

Depending on where you live it may actually be illegal for you to do this if you're not actively passing somebody :)

If you mean illegal to be IN the fast lane unless passing, rather than being a general "avoid using the fast lane unless passing", I was not aware of that. I try to be as accommodating as possible, but still.

I don't mean to be rude but if you refuse to go at least 10 miles over the speedlimit on the highway you are an old lady who shouldn't be driving on a highway

Highways are no problem. I know I'm a 35 yo male old lady so I stay in the right two lanes then. I was talking more about, y'know, curvy local two-lane roads where the posted limit is 45, I'll stay between 50-55. Sorry to be so vague and/or pedantic. Shoulda just said "I hate tailgaters".

Trolls who still use the tired trope of "you are bad for liking <popular thing>".
