    You'll smell hot oil or brakes over crap, usually anyway.

    Bovine maybe but those swine get ripe in a hurry. I think I’m going to call this a successful thread derailment.

    That's true, may have to be nearly on fire for you to smell it over hogs.

    All I ever hear on my CB is a bunch of foul mouthed old drivers that could've retired 50 years ago complaining about how everyone else drives. No joke I had an old man yell at me on the radio because I merged for a yielding car coming off of an on ramp. He said "hey tanker **** those 4 wheelers just stay in your own ******* lane and make em ******* stop you dumb ***"

    I keep mine on for entertainment purposes only
     
    Coffey Thanks this.

    If you cut him off to move over, then he had a right to be irate.

    People need to learn how to merge.

    That is a very lame comparison.

    However if you want to not deal with spam callers here is a pro tip. When I was visiting a distant city, I went to the Metro PCS store and activated my phone there. I got a local XXX area code number that way.

    You know how many people I know in the XXX area code? This many - 0.

    Modern spam callers always use the same area code as your number in order “trick” you into picking up the phone.

    All the spam callers over the past 3 years that have attempted to call me have used the XXX area code, and I instantly decline or block the number.

    No more problems from spam callers.

    Only I didn't. He was behind me on I80 at 3:30 am in the right lane

    If that’s the case, then ignore it. Some people do need to feel important by listening to themselves talk.
