When I drove a truck a few years back, I had #14 written on the inside of my locker door. You can't believe how people would speed up to try and block my lane change or prevent my turn if it meant they might end up behind me.
If you're the asshole doing 55.1mph between Nashville and Chattanooga, then I'm the guy in the bright red mustang gt who tailgated you, at about 6ft, for 35 miles waiting for you to pass the truck that was doing 55mph.
I understand the hassles of driving a truck because I did it myself for quite a while BUT how about the asshole who pulled out to pass in front of me on I-40 west of Little Rock last week and dang near put me into the center median doing it, then proceeded to take 5 miles to pass the truck he was attempting to pass? Hmmm? The sumbitch would have hit me if I wasn't paying attention. Smooth move, probably saved him all of 5 seconds, so spare me the whining about how hard it is. Like a safety director once told me, for guys that can't handle the job, there's always a slot open down at the truck wash.
Now, just to show I'm a look both ways kinda guy, if you've ever seen what can happen when a trailer tire blows out, you'd know that following 6 feet behind a big truck isn't the smartest of moves either. That bright red Mustang won't look so kewl upside down in the ditch with you underneath it because a big hunk of trailer tire took out your windshield and it got away from you.
Anon, I think I know the trucker you are referring to. I managed to get around him when the road widened and then gave him the bird. Turns out his truck can get up over 100mph. I took an exit from the left lane after thirty miles of his grill filling my rear view. When I got to the top of the ramp he'd just discovered what spike strips do to tires. Been quite a few years, but that was one fun drive. NOT.
#20 Put a bowl of milk down for you cat, dog, goat, steer, chickens, etc, etc.. and they will all drink. WE as humans have opposable thumbs and can get that milk at any time, we also have refrigeration so....
Wirecutter, this may be your best collection yet. I almost want to share them to FaceBook, but I have only been on there about 2 times in the last 2 weeks. I tell you, I don't miss it in the least. I have to bet that the assholes who used to argue with everything that I posted might miss me. I even had people writing to me asking if I was OK. I am better than OK, I am fantastic, and realize just what a timewaster it is, reading all of the people bitching about everything while not doing anything to change their situation. Now if I could just for once, see 9mm fmj ammo for sale at less than 80 cents a round. I understand supply and demand, and am glad I have enough, but the 8 million new shooters are seeing things at a bad time. I hope it changes soon enough that they can get some proper training, without having to rob a bank to pay for the ammo.
#20 There is the vegan thing Where you born with a brussel sprout waiting at the tit? Milk is actually the least nature offending food product. No animals had to die to make it. Double bonus that you do get to eat them when they are done. Waste not. Jerry
However, almost all mammals lose the ability to digest lactose about the time they are weaned. The exception being SOME humans. Namely the descendants of populations that raised livestock where retaining the ability to do so provided a selective advantage. Those mammals which can't digest lactose wind up giving their gut flora, some of which can, a party. The result being bloating, gas, the runs, occasionally constipation.
