Just like you how end up in the longest wait line or in a traffic jam: because you don't notice it otherwise.

That one actually has a simple math reason: the slow lane is slow generally because it has more cars, so more people are actually in it than are in a faster lane. (Ignoring traffic waves and taking the average speeds)
