    I always wave to people who flip me off.

    It pisses them off because they then wonder if I thought they were waving to me.

    Exactly! Their goal is to piss you off. Why get mad and let them win?

    They are cowards anyway. They are usually driving a car or pickup truck. What's funny is after they flip you off, they look to see how you react to it. Then they take off real fast.

    What do they think, that you are going to chase them down in your 80,000 lb truck?

    Yep, just smile and wave. Never let them get the best of you.

    There's nothing more satisfying then being #1. A short story. Going up a 2 lane no passing mountain grade with Triples. Got the top pulled over to let autos go by. A car honks and waves the next car honks and flips me off. Go figure. I think the second car was a truck driver.:biggrin_25522:

    Well I guess I look at things different but when I was on the road if I put on my blinker I was already coming over. 4 wheelers either get out of the way or I putting you out of the way.

    I have some great sign language I use instead of the all too common finger.

    That's as far as I can explain on this board but it definitely trumps a finger!

    I gotta ask. Did that pipe pivot on top of that set? I know the truck is a truck and trailer so you would have to have the pipe pivot or rip everything out on the first turn. That's just weird because I see no advantage than just pulling a straight trailer.

    I heard everything I needed when you said "pickup truck." The biggest dumb ##### on the road drive pick ups. Hands down not even a contest.
