    The first few years I drove, goofy drivers would get under my skin pretty bad, as time went on, they no longer bother me, hell I pretty much expect it anymore. I am glad I do not have to run down there in all that traffic and deal with the masses you guys do anymore . lol

    Over a longer time period I get to where people do stupid stuff. Myself included.

    All I can do is laugh hysterically and inappropriately, scaring those who have not had the oppertunity to escape helicopter parents growing up. //snark

    The old wyle E coyotes vs the Road Runner involving more or less some thought in physics are useful for getting that out of my system so I can deal with idiots inside a Corporate tower.

    The sooner thats over with the faster I escape back out onto the big road.

    I remember one meeting where I could not sit. So I started pacing the room examining my rig quietly warming up outside. Big suit says are you in a hurry today?
    \
    Asked my dispatcher, thats usually the case when I am not in here wasting time waiting on another suit. Am I in a hurry with that load in that rig over there?

    That really puts him or her on the spot. They hate me for that. I told Big Suit that if little suit wont get here we go to him or her and resolve this right now. Times a wasting on that load. You want it late or not?
    \
    We found little suit in 4 minutes I was rolling in 7.

    I would like to point out the fact that if it was a multi-lane road that you were turning onto and you used more than 1 lane to turn onto THEN you were not as right as you think you are.
    Not picking on the OP but in general.
     
    Day Cab Daddy Thanks this.

    I have to use both lanes otherwise i wouldnt be able to clear it..my 53 ft would be all over the curb and grass, and i couldnt swing out into the lane next to me since there were cars in that lane...

    The road i was turning on to was just 2 lanes one way-westbound and than 2 lanes eastbound..it was not a 3 lane road..i have to use the two lanes...i can’t make a right turn from the right turning lane into a right lane..i have to swing out into the left lane otherwise my trailer will be all over that curb and grass..i wouldn’t block all three lanes if it was a three lane road im not that much of a dick, give me some credit at least before you think im that retarded..

    I used to get very angry about stuff like this, but in recent years I have had a shift in perception. I view people in cars as my children. They do stupid things, they don't know any better, and they rebel against Daddy. Lol

    I get all that however you still made an illegal turn and trying to blame someone else cause you in a hurry. You didn't have the right of way.
