I call it the RPS (Rocket-Propelled Shovel).
Itās a dual purpose product, capable of making holes at high speed, also capable of making bodies to fill said holes.

Inspired by this morningās commute:
Drivers that donāt use their cruise control 
I like to drive in tempo to the song on the radio. So for example, if Iām driving in a 55 mph and Meghan Trainorās Like Iām Gonna Lose You comes on, I slow to 40. If itās followed by Eminemās Lose Yourself I accelerate up to 60 (āyou wanna never let it go, go!ā). Obviously Charles Gnarlyās Crazy drives best at 55 on the dot. And so on.
Iām sorry this irritates you.

If youāre not in the passing lane, then thereās nothing to worry about 
It does beg the question thoughā¦ What speed do you drive when Sammy Hagarās I canāt drive 55 comes on?

Obviously thatās where we all get in trouble, isnāt it? Move Bitch can cause issues with law enforcement as well.
Also, Taylor Swiftās Shake It Off.

I have never used cruise control. Why would i use cruise control?
If youāre driving on the highway for any significant period of time, it allows you to not have to hold your foot on the pedal. This is trivial if youāre only driving like 10-15 minutes, but if you have an hour drive or so - you probably want that cruise control.
It also boosts fuel mileage a bit (not really why I use it).

I honestly find it more uncomfortable to not have my foot on the accelerator. Probably just a psychological thing after a decade or so of driving without the option of cruise control.

And thereās nothing wrong with that. But if Iām driving behind you for 20+ miles and your speed is fluctuating +/- 5mph, just know Iāve been contemplating ramming you for the last 15 miles lol
My problem isnāt people that donāt use their cruise control. Itās people that cant keep their fucking speed steady.

Someone driving behind me for 20+ miles would make me feel really uncomfortable for some undefined reason. I think driving over here is a bit different from over there.

This is why it upsets you that others donāt use it?!
I use it in order to keep my speed to a reasonable 5-6 above speed limit, or to match flow of traffic if itās faster than that. Without it I have a tendency to lay a little too heavily on the pedal and sort of pass everyone.
I only donāt pass people like this if Iām not paying attention. Otherwise I speed up long enough to leave them behind.
(I was joking about song tempo. Though I was late to a doctorās appointment today and very satisfyingly sped there to Tom Cochraneās Life is a Highway. No cruise control because I had to watch for police.

I drive about an hour to and from work everyday, so if people canāt keep their speed steady - it drives me crazy (no pun intended). I donāt really care if people donāt use theirs, its just about their shit driving habits impeding MY ability to use my cruise control.
I do my best to pass people like this, but it doesnāt always work out that way. Sometimes you just canāt pass them (because their in the passing lane of course) so youāre just stuck there.
In a lot of places, youād never even have to drive 20 miles. But my commute is about 50 miles and 45 of it are on one highway so it happens

The American medical system. Iāve been billed 800 dollars for attempting to get mental health care. 1 of the bills is for someone iāve never heard of the others are from a doctor who iāve met once with no explanation, billed on a holiday. Doctor hasnāt responded since Monday, billing department told me to write them an email. Still havenāt had a psych consult, still have no medication.

Dude that sucks and I feel your pain. Ask for an itemized receipt for each of those bills. Also, many GPs can prescribe anxiety/antidepressant meds. If yours wonāt do it I would find a different one.

An ice dam on the roof that leaked all the way from the second floor to the basement, destroying my recording PC, 12 year old amp modeler, DI box, audio interface and ruined the finish on a guitar Iāve had since I was 16.
Iām not upset as much about the gear, but I had probably 20+ hrs of unfinished songs on that computer all the way back from 2014. The guitar finish can be fixed and the electronics can be replaced, but the hours of work put into the songs and getting back into the mindset of writing that way againā¦ itās just not going to happen.
