We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Truck drivers are usually very courteous to others on the road. I remember once when I was passing a semi in the left lane (he was in the center lane), and I noticed his hand sort of waving me down as I started to go past him. So, I looked under his trailer and noticed a marked cop car in the right lane next to him. I backed down my speed a bit to slip in behind him and we all went a comfortable 55 mph until the cop got off at the next exit. As he went right, the trucker and I both picked up our speed and waved at each other as I passed him.

In a car, the only way is to turn your lights all the way off and back on.
Ah. Yeah, not doing that.

I followed a trucker nearly all the way from Tennessee to DC. He slowed down, I slowed down. He sped up, I was right behind him. He knew where all the cops were.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Were you part of a little ol' convoy, rockin' through the night?

Now that I have the commute to and from different circles of hell, I force myself not to get pissed about people who cut in at the last minute and the like because it doesn't make me feel better and it doesn't change anything.
I guess I just wish everyone would obey the rules I OBEY. But since I can't control the world I just try to breathe.
I still get homicidal with rage though.
Yesterday I made a GIANT food faux pas and ate half a pineapple. My mouth regrets it still.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hell, I want them to obey the rules I want them to obey, whether I do or not.

I think somebody linked to an article here some time in the past about the guy who had worked some theory of anti-traffic and how if you drove with a big cushion in front of you and let people into your lane it would help to smooth out snarls and bottlenecks. Something like that. Anyway, since i read that I've been trying to drive in that manner. I don't know if it helps the traffic any, but it's got me less filled with rage, which is nice.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I do drive with a cushion, 'cause that's how my dad taught me.
Oh, and I'm so irritated with my van's supersmart daylight running lights, because there is no way to politely hit your lights to do the trucker signal thing. I used to do it all the time, and it was great. But now there is no such thing as off, so I can only flash my brights, just very slowly, so it's clear it's not out of annoyance.

Well, there is that aspect too!

I remember hearing about him on NPR and I try to drive like that but then I let ever fucker merge in front of me and I get filled with hate and rage.
