Sour dispositioned 'Salty Dawgs'

If you're willing to run "illegally", then you run the risk of being caught at the scales, or speeding when you come up on a bear shootin ya in the face. Sorry, I have no sympathy for you then. Do I do these things? Sure. However, am I whining if I don't get a coop report, or a bear report? Nope. So be it. I decided to run that way, and if caught, I get to pay the fine.

 

Yes, but what if you have a 70 mph truck and want to run in a 65? That's not a felny, and only slightly bending the law..however if Johnny Law is having a bad day, and he spots you for 70, he might decide to inspect you. A heads up is always nice, no matter what speed you're running.

Your bluetooh might have died, and you're talking to your grandson for the first time in a month... (been there)... and you have the phone to your ear - a heads up would be nice.

For those of you who keep your hands and ten and two and never even PUSH the law, there's no need for mutual courtesy - for the rest of us, a heads up is nice.

 

Don't make this about the kind of truck he drives... he'd be a prick in a POS Volvo.

 

With respect,who are you to be making that judgment about anybody?
Just because someone is in a bad mood or unfriendly you conclude that they don't deserve life?
So the world is supposed to conform to your standards?
Being unfriendly or in a bad mood is,as far as some of us are concerned, neither a crime nor a sin.Certainly it shouldn't be grounds to conclude that some one does not "deserve the life God blessed them with".
And I guess your cheerily pronouncing someone unworthy of the life they have been "blessed" with, makes you a better person than these so called "salty dawgs".

I wouldn't consider my self unfriendly. I wave to drivers from my company,and whenever someone greets me,I return the greeting,but I have a problem with "happy" people trying to impose their "happiness" on others,with some sort of disregard for other people's right to be in a foul mood.Similar to the mood you find yourself in when you can decide that some people don't deserve life.

You realize that this 'salty dawg' in his Kenworth was minding his own business.Is there a particular reason why you were compelled to not allow him to do just that,mind his own business? Do you think you were doing him a favor by calling to him? If you had just left him alone,you would not have the problem you seem to be having.And then you make it seem as if he did something to you.

Reminds me of a thread I read on either this,or some other trucker message board. This "full of sunshine","happy with the world" trucker had a co-worker who was a bit of an antisocial,who basically came to work,got the job done,and went home,and did all this without interacting more than he had to with his co-workers. Mr. happywiththeworldsunshineman apparently felt that Mr unfriendly needed an attitude adjustment and actually posted the thread seeking advice about what sort of pranks he could play on his co-worker,to get him to lighten up. I think one suggestion was to smear grease on his door handle and grab handles. The sad thing about it is this person felt he was doing the right thing and was going to get his coworker to open up and become one of the guys.

I sense that you too have this feeling that you are doing these 'salty dawgs' a favor, by greeting them and being nice to them. You seem to be so anxious to give them what you think they need and lose sight of what THEY need,which is for people to mind their own business and leave them alone.
Just like something happened to you which led you to conclude that some people don't deserve to be living,is it possible for you to think that maybe these persons had something happen to them to put them in their bad mood?

People talk about the right to do this or to do that being eroded. If one does not have the right to be in a bad mood,then what does one have the right to do? And remember,even in their bad moods,these salty dawgs as you call them are almost always not interfering with anyone.On the contrary,it is usually the happy ones who go interfering with the 'salty dawgs' and then complain as if it is the 'salty dawgs' who bothered them.

Have some respect for those among you who want to be left alone.
And who deserve the life that "god has blessed them with" is not your decision to make.

 

+1 you nailed it.

 

It's all about YOU - right, driver? If you ain't happy - hell's bells -nobody's gonna be happy, ######!!!...

Maybe - if you and the rest of the sour-azzes that seem to infest this industry pulled those corn-cobs out of your keesters, ya'll just might make this a better place for us all...

 

No its not all about me. I did not say if I'm not happy then the world ain't happy.Where in my post did I say that?
But why is it that you and people like the OP feel that if YOU are happy,then the whole world should be happy? You do realize that if the OP was minding bhis own business he wouldn't have a problem?
It amazes me how you full of sunshiners are always going out of your way to interfere with people,under the guise of spreading happiness and when it is not reciprocated,you turn around and say it is the sour azzes ,as you call them , who are making your life miserable.
Imagine,you and the OP are supposedly the cheerful ones,who are trying to "make this a better place for us all" yet you are the ones who are virtually pronouncing that people don't deserve to live, and are being insulting,refering to people who don't share the same outlook on life as 'dawgs', 'prick' , 'jerks' and "sour azzes" with 'corn-cobs up their keesters'. And it is people like me,who you don't know by the way who are a"infesting" the industry? Well congrats,you sure showed me that you are the better person.
Do you think you,or the OP are displaying any better behaviour than the 'sour ###'(your term) in the Kenworth who did not wave back to the OP?
Is that the extent of YOUR contribution to making the industry ,that the sour azzes have infested, a better place?

 

You and those like you who insist on bothering people who want to be left alone,and then who resort to insults when it is made known that those people WANT to be left alone, are really accusing people like me of being "all about me"?
I guess you find nothing selfish about you and the other happy types,whose purpose on earth is to spread joy, forcing your emotions on others.
The Kenworth driver as described was not trying to make anybody else unhappy. He was minding his own business.Can you understand that?Can you appreciate that?
It wasn't the sour azzes,to use your own happy and friendly term,who was imposing their mood on the world,it was the joyous and full of happiness ones who were/are doing that. And you are accusing people like me of wanting the world to be angry because we are angry?
In my experience,the sour azzes,as you call us usually keep to ourselves.It is you the glad ones who are normally approaching people with all your sunshine.
