    Driving in the big city I almost always hear drivers whining about traffic. Like they need to express their displeasure about crappy drivers over the airwaves, on the CB.

    I'm like sheese people, how is this helping the situation? This is when I lose faith in humanity (lol), and reach for the off button on my CB.

    I will turn it back on if there is an issue up ahead. I will not listen to these teed off drivers. Life is too short to join in on the piss & moan sessions.

    Yeah bud one of my pet peeves was drivers with nothing better to do going on and on and on and on and on and on the CB radio seriously take it to your own private channel guys, and leave the main channel open for real emergencies.
