Sometimes you have to just do it.

I stopped walking up to strangers and giving them unsolicited advice and encouragement a long time ago. I’ve learned my lesson.

 

That was you, wasn't it? You're that guy!

Just kidding.

 

Spend one hour every 10-hr break practicing backing up, if possible. In a week, you’ll be a pro.

I posted two comments about tips on backing up here:

Backing getting worse

 

I find it hilarious when the spotter is yelling angrily at the newbie backing up. I’m thinking to myself, this knucklehead probably sucked at backing when he was a newbie too!

 

I think it's amusing watching rookies spotting for each other while backing.

But then again, I provided that very same entertainment myself.

 

Im with you. A few weeks ago I stopped at a popular truck stop and there was a struggling driver trying to back up, my daughter was with me and she asked if I was going to help the guy, so after telling her he would more likely not want help, she prompted me to do something. So I got out of my pickup, stood there next to his truck and got his attention, he rolled down the window, and I asked him if he could use some help.

Omg I thought I was back on a navy ship arguing with those old salts with the language this guy used so I just walked away.

Got back to the pickup, told my girl that people are just too ignorant to welcome help and sat there watching this guy for 20 more minutes until he hit the truck pulling out in front of him.

I won't help anyone any more because of this and a few other times where the people were not so cordial.

 

“Isn’t it pretty to think so”.
Extra credit if you can name the book where that came from.
