    I shake my head every time I see a thread that says something like, "I have done all kinds of research and watched all the YouTube videos, and I narrowed it down to two companies, CR England and Werner. Which one should I choose?"

    That leads me to another subject: YouTube videos. I hate those people that think everything they see and hear on YouTube must be the truth, just because some mouth breathing superstar trucker knows how to talk at a camera. Ugh...

    I'm trying to limit myself to strictly the 18 wheelers subforum and the unmoderated forum (not the politics one).

    Edit: Avoiding "Which truck should I buy" threads and threads where someone asks a technical question without providing year/make/model/clear description of the issue. Also posts where people can't be bothered to use proper spelling or punctuation.

    Unless I missed it, another tiresome subject,,,"trouble with downshifting". I've tried to help so many, and you know what? The heck with it, strip 'er clean for all I care.

    I avoid most of the drug threads. I find I can't read them due to some of the replies. Whether factual, funny, or just pulled out of someones ###. Always give me a good laugh, so I must avoid those topics. I got a sense of humor, I use it quite often, fore if not....I'd likely go sane. (not a typo)

    An of course the usual politics an religion. Mainly cause I poke fun at both sides an people really get butt hurt when you mock their party.( I equally make fun of both parties ) an before someone tries to convince me I'm wrong in my thinking allow me to put this reply right here..

    I'd Agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

    An with that said...be safe out there folks.

    I dislike those too. I always picture a woman sitting at a kitchen table chain smoking staring at a computer with an overflowing ashtray next to it. While her husband is sitting in his recliner in the other room in boxers and a wife beater tank top crushing another beer can while yelling "Tammy get on that there interweb and ask those fine red blooded Americans on TTR what I should do about my situation I done got myself in. And where's that sammich??!!"
