    Sometimes it's fun to get a good lie going. Consider it entertainment. I will say, though, if I'm making up a good lie, it will be obvious its a lie and that I'm not trying to make people believe it. It's just for fun. I get a little silly sometimes. You have the right to walk away if that bothers you.

    "Highway hero's in their minds", :yes2557: Quite a view due a variation of that called " LEGENDS IN THEIR OWN MINDS "

    Love the ones who where this or that in HISTORY but do not realize they would be 10 - 12 years old at the time.

    Uh-huh! I always wonder about people who feel they have to call somebody on this crap. If they aren't doing any harm, who cares? All the liar is doing, is making himself look like the idiot he is. Does it make people feel superior to point out somebody else's lies? Why?

    Mainly because of people claiming false military service. My time was hard enough, and I didn't go through the endless, grueling training that the elite forces did.... so for someone to claim they did this or that referencing the military makes me mad and sad.

    And even if it is true don't claim someone else's story. And if you do don't tell it to them, lol. Had a strange thing happen one time that was kinda funny. I guess the story got around and next thing you know one of our drivers is telling me how this really bizarre thing happened to him. :biggrin_2559:

    Its Sometimes funny but most of the time the immaturity is shown on the road and on these forums. I read a few days ago about a 21 year old kid who was driving for 3 years and also had a job as a forklift driver and was a tech making over 900 a week and also managed a restaurant making 700+ a week and i couldn't stop laughing .

    I am 32 and a Master Auto Tech i have been for 10 years it took me 3 years to get my master Tech title and this kid at 21 had all them jobs and made all that money no way in hell. when you start in the automotive trade industry you start at the bottom unless you went to a Tech school for 3-4 years and even still they don't let you touch things unless you are ASE certified so i found it really funny.

    The stories are sometimes funny. You shouldn't use the CB radio for training unless you know what they are saying and it's directed to you. You can seek good training elsewhere.
