    As one of those O/Os who nearly went under and only a timely save by a guy willing to give me alternate repairs on my truck....i can confirm. Id bet at least half of all O/Os who fail anymore do so because of that red dot.

    Got a little Corolla with an engine brake gear. Works good. Makes me feel at home. But still goofed first time back in it. Reached for engine brake lever instead of the gear shifter.

    Hearing a low hissing sound in the car and having a brief anxiety attack trying to figure out where you're losing air from, then remembering which vehicle you're in and tracking the noise down to a bad radio station.

    Driving past the gas pumps to the diesel pumps in your personal vehicle. I did that once at the Flying J in Effingham.

    Helping my girlfriend unpack her groceries, notice three large Gatorade drinks. Hmmmm I think to myself, “I wonder if she’ll be done with those before I got back OTR, I need some more relief gear.
