    I start to cry then take 4 hours to talk myself into thinking it's going to be alright that Jesus and everyone loves me.

    Jesus loves me this I know,
    For the Bible tells me so-

    Yet, everyone else does not.

    It doesn't happen often... And it's usually during a merge situation where I don't slam on my brakes to allow someone on there cell phone to merge at 15 MPH slower than the rest of traffic....
    I see them get behind me, then get in the left lane. I can see the anger on their face in the mirror....they got the finger up already....
    So I open my mouth and stick my middle finger knuckle deep into my nose.... And laugh!!!!
    Or I just ignore them... Depends if I feel like acting like an adult or not....

    A couple weeks ago, I guess I took too long passing another truck, so when I moved over finally, a 4 wheeler passed me and then moved to my lane less than ten feet in front of me and slammed on his brakes. After I recovered from my near-heart attack from almost killing him, he sped up and flipped me off. Usually, jerks don't bother me, but I'm still amazed that this guy almost died just to express his displeasure with me.

    4 wheelers: Ignore. It's just another day.

    Swift/England/Werner: Point and laugh while you blow their doors off going uphill.

    FedEx: Apologize for being in the way as you dive out of the way.

    CRST: Offer to call home.

    TMC: Military salute.

    Melton/System/Maverick: Flash 'em.

    This is a humor list, by the way. Feel free to add your own (Schneider, K&B, KLLM, etc).
