The thing that came to mind was a coworker who approached me one day and said they were flaming mad at me for accelerating so slowly on a freeway onramp. I knew the traffic pattern on this road and knew that everyone slams on their brakes when the lanes merged, so I simply didn't race to the pinch point.
Another thing that comes to mind is the time I experimented with Portland gridlock and drove the average speed of traffic rather than bumper to bumper. In 1 hour of allowing a gap to form when traffic moved faster, and closing the gap as it slowed down, a total of 14 cars occupied the gap I left open. That may have extended my 1 hour drive by 20 seconds, but at least everyone behind me was getting excellent fuel economy.
If someone accused me of being high, I'd reply that at least I wasn't retarded. I don't care the opinion of dumb people.
