If you call out "On Your Left!" they usually speed up.

Alternatively, scream "PARKOUR!!" & do a somersault past them. This usually stops people in their tracks.

This is the worst on the highway. I have my cruise control set to 65 in the right lane. I come up to someone going 60. No worries, I'll pass them on the left. We can each go our own speed, that's why why have two lanes. No need to make a big deal about it.

Except some people, especially men with tiny dicks in giant trucks, get unreasonably offended about a woman in a small sedan daring to pass them. So when I try and pass them going 65, they also speed up to 65. If I say, "fine, I'm happy to ride behind you if you're going 65," they go 65 for a bit and then slow back down to 60. Just passive aggressive bullshit.

In this situation, I resolve it by moving to the left lane, gunning it to 80, and leaving the tiny-dicked man with the giant truck firnly behind me in the rear view mirror.

People driving in the passing lane triggers deep rage in me...

My friend and I have made use of "On your left!" many times. Not one person has ever appreciated it. This makes me think that they also would not appreciate the "I understood that reference!" reference,

I vote we carry around "on your left" scene papers and hand them to them as we pass by. Lol

the only reference I have is from Hal in Malcolm in the middle

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

this is the only correct answer

The Hal and Lois are what make that show great! Well, that and having a TMBG show for their theme song.

Okay, I’ll bite. What the reference to?

In Captain America: The Winter Soldier the movie start out with Captain America running and passing Sam Wilson (the Falcon/future Captain America) several times. Each time when he passes him, he says, "On your left." and he gets sort of annoyed/playfully competitive about it.

Winter Soldier is a favorite.

Yes, and you know another less popular Marvel movie that's one of their best IMO? Thor: Ragnarok. I didn't like it much the first watch. I don't really care for the Grandmaster. I didn't like Asgard being destroyed. A few other things, but I've come to really like the characters, connections between characters and connections between plots, and many other things. It's also where Thor starts to evolve. My favorite character from the MCU is Tony Starke/Iron Man because of the evolution across movies.
