ANOTHER pet peeve

Hello all, it's time to vent again. Is it only me or do other people find the following a pet peeve like I do... Did everyone get the question about WHAT DOES YIELD MEAN WRONG on their written test? How come it's cool now to enter a highway without slowing down or looking to see if it is SAFE to do so. By the way, for those of you who got that question wrong on your tests, that last part was the answer to the question... As you all know from following my blogs, I am a truck driver.. A TRACTOR TRAILER driver. Why is it that I get cursed at, given the finger or honked when I am doing 55 or 60 mph and I DON'T slow down for a car entering the highway? Especially since I can't move over?? People look at me like I was the one in the wrong... It can't be everyone is looking to DIE is it?? Yesterday I was on 95 North when this car in front of me jammed on it's brakes, with me behind them mind you, while doing 55 mph and they slowed down and let someone in who is supposed to slow down to get on the highway... Thank GOD I saw it was an elderly couple and I was a safe enough distance back to slow down in time. PEOPLE PLEASE PLEASE know the rules of the road because the next time it may be YOU in front of me and I won't be able to stop.........

DOT A-HOLES


Well today I called the NYC Police on the NYC DOT.. As all of you know, I drive a Tractor Trailer. I was driving down Cooper Ave in Queens today like I always do. To my surprise 3 blocks after 80Th ST there was a ROAD CLOSED sign they were repaving Cooper Ave . Well I figured OK I'll just make a right, go down 88 TH ST to Union Tkpe and go around this. Well I did just that and guess what I saw 3 blocks down? NYC DOT had 88TH ST closed down for, you guessed it, ROAD CLOSED sign and for what? YUP REPAVING... So now here I am blocking up 88TH ST because all of the side streets are to small for my truck to get down. This asshole DOT guy comes up to me and says. "you have to move that truck your blocking up the road". So here I am FUMING because some DOT GENIUS thought it was a good idea to close 2 of the biggest Streets in this part of Queens. I turned to this moron and asked him, " have you ever driven one of these? His answer was NO, so I told him in a clear LOUD BROOKLYN voice, "where the fuck do you expect me to go with you closing down the streets what damn genius thought this shit up? With that here comes ANOTHER tractor trailer BACKING out of a side street. I said ok dumbass, now where do you want the 2 of us to go?? He looked around and he had that look on his face like, oh shit now what... He immediately called over 4 other dumbass DOT workers and together they stopped all traffic in all directions so the other driver and myself could back out of the street. If anyone who works for the city happens to read this or knows Mayor Bloomberg personally could you ask him to call me? I need to apply for head of NYC DOT because the jerkoffs they have working there now are really really assholes.... And The Police Thanked me for calling and said they would take care of it ASAP... YEA RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Little League World Series


Well it's that time of year again. My favorite sport to watch. The Little League World Series. Today the first 2 games were played. Staten Island against Mercer Island Washington and Chinese Taipei against Ramstein Air Force Base... Staten Island put a hurting on Mercer Island winning by the score of 10-2. They looked almost unstoppable. This team if they play the way they did today, watch out U.S. Division. The second game was the fastest game I have ever seen in the Little League World Series. A 12-0 2 inning trouncing of Ramstien. Now this in itself wouldn't be a big deal for me BUT in case anyone didn't know, Ramstien Air Force Base is made up of solely Americans even though they represented Germany. They are the offspring of the American Soldiers stationed there. After seeing that embarrassment, I sure wish they were German born players.
I was wondering if anyone else shared my enthusiasm for this Tournament? I rarely watch the Major League crybabies for the last 2 weeks in August so I can concentrate on the little guys. Sometimes there are some really good and well played games. But those are usually in the Championship Playoff round. So if anyone else enjoys watching, I would like to hear about it and your views on this subject...
