BG: My new commute to works involves me taking the Mass Pike both ways. While it's certainly faster than, say two smaller routes, it's just a crazy route to begin with.
I'm heading home from work and signal to get off at my exit and start slowing down so I'm not doing 55 mph in what I know is a mess of curves. Almost instantly I see nothing but a grille and headlights behind me, of a truck who justhadtogetthisclosebehindmebecauseIalmostmissedm yexitomg. I'm still trying to slow down but this guy's about ready to kiss my ass.
We round the curve where the lane splits into two and I stay to the left to use the EZ Pass lane. Truck pulls out from behind me and passes me on the right but a good distance ahead of me. K, whatever. Another car behind him, a black Nissan, does not. He pulls to the right to pass me and cute in front thisclose. I stomp on the brakes to avoid hitting him. I give a light honk, and he responds by flashing his emergency lights. He decides "Imma crawl now" and doesn't break 15 mph all the way down the ramp to the tolls and blocks any efforts to pass him (by me or people behind me who have figured out what he was doing) by swerving between the two lanes, flooring the brakes and again the emergency flashers.
I let people pass me and go bother him, keeping about four cars back as I go through the tolls. He continues his little game until he winds up behind somebody just as slow. He can't take it. He has to get out. He slams the gas, pulls out, and nearly creams somebody coming in from the right side of the tolls. Then he floors it to the ramp that feeds him where he wants to go with that person hot on his ass.
Just...guh. Thank God I was far enough back had they decided to kiss.

I've only driven there twice, but if I ever go back, I'll leave that to your brethren - and probably keep my eyes closed.
