You've seen them get back behind the truck they were trying to pass?! shocked


Yep.

I get the governor thing.

It just gets me when they try and try for miles, then realize they can’t do it and get back in line

Happens about every other trip up to Flagstaff from Phoenix. That section of I-17 has two 6-7 percent grades that go for luke 4-6 miles each

Not sure if I was clear, I'm in agreement. My point was that I always get behind ones that are bound and determined to hang on to the bitter end rather than realize that they can't do it and pull back in.

People entering a highway that ignore the yield sign for them to yield to on coming traffic, they expect you to slow down so they can enter the highway.

It’s much easier for me to let the little things go as I get older I don’t need the stress of being annoyed and I find that laughing at the stupidity is a better stress release than getting annoyed. I think the more tragedy and suffering you’ve witnessed and the loss of loved ones.....some far too young, offers a different perspective on what merits our lamentations and what’s better off being relegated to laughter and a smart ass remark.

Life’s too short to worry about the little things.


Sounds like WA drivers, alright. Stupid MF'ers cannot pull their heads out long enough to DRIVE.

7) People who carbon your boss on every email they send you, or the ones that send a receipt request.
8) People who eat over their keyboards and then complain when they fill up with crumbs.
9) People who blame you because they found out coffee and laptops don't mix well.

I figure it's a good day if I have 3 or less of these things happen to me.


I fixed all that annoying sh*t by teleworking 100%

Trucks on I 5 with California, Washington or British Columbia plates on them....

They do the same things described on passing each other at the same speed for miles...

out here on I 5, the ones doing that crap, usually have license plates from CA, WA or BC, and are usually foreigners..
Mexicans, Indians, Pakistanis, ..

then when they get to the top of the hill, they are running 80 mph going down the other side...

last two weeks I've seen three semis laying on their sides out in the middle of the road on I 5, each time it was after midnight, but blocked one of the two lanes for 6 to 8 hours...

Locally we have curves on I 5, that are marked safe speed is 40 to 45 mph... and you see trucks from those places listed above, come flying into them down hill doing 75 and 80 entering the turn...

you can be in the right lane and doing 50 or so, because you know the curve is sharp ahead, and they come up within a few feet on your rear bumper...

passing them on down the road and you can see the driver is Mexican, Paki or Indian....

Oregon's economy is slow enough and low paying enough, they can find American folks to drive trucks here fairly easily...

as my brother said once.. Oregon is the west coast version of Appalachia...

Writers that say someone switched the safety off their Glock. People who can't tell the difference in ownership and more than one. Those who don't know the difference in to, too, and two - then and than - loose, lose - can't spell but don't make any effort to correct it. Novel writers that say the smell of Cordite was heavy in the room...or the sniper was shooting a 50MM?…............….........Be .Well, Rustyzipper

Drivers not using their turn signals or not stopping at the stop signs in town, driving a $150,000 car. Too impotent I guess. And yes I spelled the way I intended to. Be Well, Rustyzipper.
