    So you think I am a narcissist because i was concerned about the welfare of any passengers in the car and did not want to hurt them?

    There is no reference to hurting people in a car in that post.

    I did not say you are a narcissist. I said, "This is the kind of thing a narcissist would say." I am not a psychologist. I'm a truck driver.

    You said, "I was so mad. I was very tempted to smash into his car on purpose lol. The only problems were that I might have injured the passengers in the car if I did that, and it would have entailed a lot of red tape that would have delayed me further."

    The way I read that is that your concern about injured passengers was not their well-being but rather that it would have involved a lot of red tape and delay for you. Do you see how that interpretation of your words is reasonable and understandable? I would say something like, "I might have injured the passengers and that would be awful. I would have a hard time living with myself if I intentionally hurt someone."

    As for the list, I have noticed a few things that you have said in this and other threads that seem to fit, but again, I'm not a psychologist. But, for example, you have discussed your above average IQ. No. 5 includes "I am far above average." No. 7 includes "I will remind you with unapologetic frequency that I am the smartest person in the room."

    "10. I will criticize you, and I expect you to accept it, but if you criticize me, especially in public, I will come at you with rage. One more thing: I will never forget or forgive. I will pay you back one way or another—because I am a “wound collector.”" This seems to fit with your response when I made an error between 300 feet and 300 yards. It also fits with your public announcements of adding people to your ignore list.

    "11. I expect you to be interested in what I have achieved and in what I have to say. I, on the other hand, am not at all interested in you or in what you have achieved, so don’t expect much curiosity or interest from me about your life. I just don’t care." This is the pattern all day every day in your responses to people here who have answered your silly questions in earnest, only to have you disregard them, belittle them, contradict them, and then ignore their questions to you.

    Again, I'm not a shrink. I'm not trying to diagnose you. Your response to the potential car crash reminded me of something I had read elsewhere about narcissists.

    Regardless, your generally toxic responses to people trying to help answer your Trucking 101 questions when you allegedly have over 10 years and a million miles of experience is tiresome. My conclusion is that you are either a troll or you are sincere but lack some ability to read social cues.

    That’s enough. I’ve had it up to the Peterbilt emblem on my hat with ALL of this. I’m disgusted with what’s been going on here the last few days, and it WILL STOP immediately if not sooner.

    This is NOT an episode of Deadliest Catch where everybody gets to gang up on one guy with impunity, nor will I allow it to become one.

    Further, I have to say I’m disappointed in quite a few people right now. We’re better than this.

    If people don’t like what @expedite_it or any other member of this community has to say, then do as he did and use the ignore feature.
