It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

That's all.

Today there was construction on the road and a ton of cars were stuck.

Then whenever there is an event at a nearby park I zoom on by them as all the cars get stuck.

Just realized how overly pleased I was when the person stopped all the cars, and I just was like... oh look, nothing is being done in my lane.

EDIT: Oh and I can get to my closet grocery store faster than a car by cutting through a parking lot cars can't get into simply because doing so avoids having to do a left turn onto a super busy road. Joyful, every time. More traffic at that light, the better I feel.

Glad to hear others are as petty as me!

"They're paying a lot more than me in every single way, their one advantage is speed."

"hahaha how does it feel to be paying $800 a month in car expenses to go slower than ME!"
