The Pod Drivers

Something I've noticed when I drive on highways is that every 10 miles or so there seems to be these drivers I call Pod People. They drive in the left lane at the speed limit or slightly below it and refuse to move to the right lane and let other people pass them. That's ok unless there is a right-lane Pod Person who is doing the same thing and drives at the same speed as the left lane Pod Person. Nobody can pass either one of them and they create a Pod of cars that creep along at the same speed for miles and miles.
And just when you think you've managed to overtake one of them, you realize you have to exit for gas or something. Then you find that you've re-entered the Interstate and area once again behind them.
I don't really have a problem with the drivers who KNOW they are going to be going slower. The beat-up pickups with a load of crushed cardboard boxes or an empty trailer or something. They stay in the right lane and let you pass them. It's the nit-noids that are in the left lane just tooling along while everyone else has to maneuver around them while giving them the stink-eye that really get me.

So this is it: MOVE OVER! DON'T ACT LIKE YOU'RE ENTITLED TO DRIVE WHATEVER SPEED YOU WANT IN THE LEFT LANE! GET A CLUE! DO YOU EVER LOOK IN YOUR REARVIEW MIRROR AND SEE THAT THERE ARE 10 CARS BEHIND YOU????
