A New Category of Sloth
We have already identified several categories of Sloth, including
* Sloth Mergers, the doddering ninnies who take the on-ramp at 45 MPH * Sloth Coasters, the guys who take their foot off the gas whenever they see a red light (or even a "stale green") somewhere before the horizon * Sloth Passers, the pricks who get into the passing lane and procees to "pass" the other vehicle with a 0.001 MPH speed differential, causing the pass to last forever * Sloth Speeders, the Sloths who accelerate like molasses in January but keep right on accelerating; eventually, if they have enough running room, they will get up to 80 MPH And now there are Sloth Spoilers, the assholes who sit right next to you and match the speed of the Sloth in front of you, preventing you from changing into the wide open lane in front of the SS and escaping the trap. To escape their clutches, you have to slow down to a speed even lower than the SS, change lanes behind him twice, and then punch it - that's assuming you have at least 3 traffic lanes with which to work. If there are only 2 lanes, you're screwed. Of all the different kinds of Sloth, I think I hate the Sloth Spoilers the most. |

In article >, newsgroup says:
>And now there are Sloth Spoilers, the assholes who sit right next to >you and match the speed of the Sloth in front of you, preventing you >from changing into the wide open lane in front of the SS and escaping >the trap. Don't you HATE these people?! I think its yet another case of "never attribute to malice what's best charged to stupidity"; I think they're so ingrained to follow along with the herd they don't realize what they're doing. -Kenny -- Kenneth R.

From context it seems "anyone driving slower than you and/or > anyone in front of you". Would that be correct? Here's mine: Someone who makes a certain driving move or drives slower than I would on a bicycle (including rate of acceleration) or someone who is blocking the natural flow of traffic with their slower than normal speed of driving in an inappropiate lane for that speed. Another catagory of sloth is someone who drives a compartitively powerful automobile but gets less performance out of it than I got out of the torqueless wonder car or my 1973 maverick. For instance, someone who merges on to an interstate with a 200+hp car at 35mph is sloth. |

One of the great things about being a slow driver is i'm never bothered by all this little stuff that is driving you to an early grave. HAHAHAHAHAHA |

According to you, your blood boils so much you carry around bags of marbles to toss out your window. If anyone here is a candidate for hypertension-related sudden death, it's got to be you. |

How about adding Sloth Turners? Those are the ones who may travel at
or above the speed limit in a straight line, but come to a near stop when turning onto a side road, lot entrance, etc. I see this a lot from SUVs and trucks, but it's certainly not limited to any specific category of vehicle. |
