    I just wear a loincloth; made it myself from an old towel that I requisitioned from a Pilot shower.
    Keeps me nice and cool and absorbs all the sweat from my undercarriage while I drive.
    I’m really comfortable, and thats all that matters.
    Us drivers already have a bad reputation anyway; I figure I may as well live up to it.

    Rail can haulers and trash truck drivers, the worst of the worst.

    I am reminded of one McDonalds near Cleveland on the West end off the interstate of some sort. (There is like 5 that come together in that area I forget which) that had a nice row of no parking signs in giant pristine 10 foot posts, three foot pretty red and reflective etc. All of them 5 feet apart along the road a hundred yards.

    I was in one of those dangerous moods being hungry, I put the 18 wheeler carefully into the ditch noting that it's sort of a drought condition and the soil is hard packed and dry so hold up that leaning rig a while.

    A few days later I come back past and noticed 20 more new signs in the tire tracks I left in that wide ditch. I think it's going to be about one or two more trucks to park there before they fall over trying to do it before they stop adding signs.

    I stop at a couple Kwik Fill’s up on 90 in Ohio & Pennsylvania, both are full service. Pull up, man walks out and takes care of the fuel as well as wash the windshield and headlights. Kinda takes ya back to a different time.

    All of you are being unfair.

    I think if there were a squeegee app for phones, we wouldn't have any of these problems.

    And here I thought based in the title of this post, oh boy great! Good deal Slob drivers are on the decline. It should have said we blame trash and rail cat haulers, for all our problems. Lol
