  1. And the stupid starts........

    I had some crazy Ivan doing 6mph pulling a skateboard last night take a wack at my mirror in slow motion. He dragged 4 straps and cardboard across my driver mirror. I couldn't change lanes stop or speed up.

    Once I was able to accelerate, I get parallel to his cab and yell at him to stay In his lane. Jackwad looks at me and tells me to f"*** Off. So I sped up and my 16yr old self kicked in and I forced him into the jersey barrier, as I pull past him.

    Yes I realize I shouldn't be childish.

    Got my mirror cover taken off in san Antonio by a curtain side the other day. Call me petty but I filed a police report in hopes of pursuing criminally for hit and run. 20181114_174653.jpg

    Nothing petty about it. Way too many idiots out here that think little things don't matter.

    "Oh, it's just a little bump." "Just a little scratch, no real harm." "Aw that'll buff on out real easy." I'm sure we've all heard these kinds of moronic statements.

    But what this shows is a careless attitude. The response should be... No doofus, it's not just a scratch, or a bump, or something I'm going to "buff out". You're going to make me whole from the damage you've caused by your carelessness and you're going to have an accident on your record.

    That doofus' next act of carelessness may cost somebody their life. So let's all work together to get the doofuses off the road.

    I think maybe a new safety organization is an order... TAD, Truckers Against Doofuses.

    That's JD if it didn't, if it did it's actually a 660 masquerading as an 800 and that's Kevin.

    I have a theory, but I need to observe two more certified doofi. I had the opportunity to observe a doofus. We will call him “chewy”.

    Chewy was a CREngland driver (that’s bad) that didn’t make the grade (that’s worse) because he rolled the truck (it is almost impossible to out-doof a doofus that chose to go to England and not be up to snuff because of a rollover. If a male could accidentally get pregnant, that would be the person.

    I first took notice of chewy when in the Man Cave, he wanted to have a pity party. Sorry hoss, no pity in this crowd...get your arse up and carry yourself as a Man. Well, the interesting thing was chewy actually changed. He toughened up, began to conduct himself differently, to carry himself as a Man and speak as a Man. Turned into a good solid driver.

    Mission accomplished.

    See, here’s the issue with the experiment: chewy found us. So obviously chewy, while in doofus mentality, wanted to be better. He had to recognize. Do doofi know that they are doofi? Doofi are self aware? I had no idea. So, in order to figure out the best course of action, I would like to have that question answered.

    EDIT: Do idiots know that they are idiots? If they are self aware, they can be helped. If not, get rid of them.
