    I (mostly) hate drivers when I'm a pedestrian and I (mostly) hate pedestrians when I'm driving. Do any of you truck drivers have a similiar reaction when you're driving your truck vs. driving your car?

    I am an equal opportunity hater. I generally think all people are idiots car or truck. If you think that they are stupid you'll never be surprised when they do stupid things. And you'll be much safer overall.

    Every time I get to thinking that there is nothing else that some other driver can do that would surprise me, some idiot proves me wrong.

    You ever notice when you are in a hurry everyone is in your way, and if you are not they all drive like maniacs.

    I hate pedestrians who cross in crosswalks when the sign says NOT to cross. Then they get mad at me when I go through the Intersection blowing my air horn at them.

    They think they always have the right of way, they're wrong.

    Not only that... when you're in a hurry, all the lights will be red, fuel islands full of slow fuelers, trains at every rail cossing, shippers loads will not be ready, recvrs unable to unload right away.

    That reminds me...I work for a railroad and have nothing to do with the trains themselves. Sometimes they get in the way of me doing my work. I hate trains.
     
    Naptown and Big Don Thank this.

    Uh-huh. Just hit and kill or badly injure one of the S.O.B.s and see how much of the right of way the law says YOU had in that situation.

    It never fails to amaze me though how bicyclists, joggers and pedestrians ignore their own safety in the sadly mistaken belief that they "have the right of way." Sure, they may legally "have the right of way," that ain't gonna do them a bit of good when they are laying on the slab in the morgue.

    Of course, we are supposed to always keep our motor vehicles, whether it is a Vespa or an oversize/overweight big truck under such control that we can avoid striking anything. RIGHT. Just see how well that works out for Bambi. . .

    This thread reminds me of the old saying by FDR that he NEVER said. I goes sort of like this:
