My wife had no idea about the whole left lane thing, but after enough of my ranting 1 she doesn't do it, and 2 she gripes about it too.

Most of the time, I just consider those folks chicanes and go around them.

I know many folks will say "but you can't pass on the right". I've checked, and in Texas at least, assuming you have another lane (not the shoulder), I think it's completely legal (although not ideal) to pass on the right. Obviously, passing on the right on the shoulder is bad, and ideally, you'd pass on the left.
