This comic is an excellent depiction of the fundamental attribution error.
Actually me lol. Damn overheating.
My experience: as soon as I start overtaking them they suddenly find the gas pedal.
And then slow down when you go behind them again.
Everyone is dealing with something that you don’t know about. Be nice.
People on the road especially. Why do they always honk and yell at others who are clearly having some issue with their vehicle? Like they chose to do that…

Maybe too personal but shortly after a breakup in 2017 someone flipped me off on the road cause i was a pretty new driver and didn’t notice them signaling to merge in front of me and i cried in a parking lot after.
I didn’t know some tiny thing like that could tip me over on the wrong day and i think about it whenever i feel like blaring my horn at someone or whatever
I was helping someone push their vehicle to the gas station once. People were honking at us like it’d make us move faster. So dumb.
If you’re having an issue, put your flashers on and pull to the side.
Just like how you don’t stop to tie your shoe in the middle of the sidewalk or hallway.
Also: Yield does not mean stop.
Most of the time the issue is that they need to text and drive or watch a tiktok while driving.
The joy of rolling down the windows with the heater at full blast on a hot summer day. 😫
puts on hazards “Jesus, why is everyone cutting me off and getting close. MY CAR ISNT ACTING NORMAL, PLEASE LET ME GET HOME IN PEACE!”
What’s wrong with your car to cause that?
for me it was ice in the turbo. Chevy in their infinite wisdom for the 2015-20 malibus decided to have a sensor in them, and if ice gets in it and it blocks the air flow, it will trip the engine and throw it into a 20% power style mode that won’t clear until you plug a OBD tool into it and clear the errors.
It’s meant as a safety system for the engine and usually resolves itself once you let the ice melt but, it won’t go back to full power or make the light go away until the error is cleared.
When it happens I just flick the hazerds on and run it at whatever speed it lets me actually run it at which is around 20-25 mph
Ok that’s reasonable. I think a lot of people, me included, see more NPCs driving with hazards on for seemingly no reason than driving with them on.
I’ve never once seen a car like this driving less than many miles and decibels above the legal limit.
I would love to see more of these, but I can’t find them anywhere where I don’t have to sign up for a fucking account.
Needs an account.
Not all of them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
