I only recently discovered that in the US many people driving in the left lane will not move to the middle lane to allow cars approaching from behind overtake them.
That's incredibly selfish, not least because it's incredibly dangerous for the driver that has to weave into the middle lane and back again.
Seems bizarre. Then again, you Yanks also don't have kettles, so nothing surprises me ;)
We typically don't drink beverages that require boiling water, aside from coffee which is brewed in machines. Everyone that I know that drinks tea or uses a french press has an electric kettle, though.
