And, for that matter, “Merc” is a Mercury, specifically a 1949-1950-1951 model. It is not a Mercedes. Repeat: A Mercedes is not a “Merc”. Friggin’ meatheads.
Yeah, I had an inkling that might be the reason why. But it begs the question: Shouldn’t a supposedly built-for-heavy-service truck not make you bump your head when going over modest bumps? It seems like a possible safety issue. I certainly don’t expect a truck to ride like a car, but shouldn’t it be able to withstand moderately bumpy terrain without the driver bumping their head?
I’d also venture that speed bumps on public roads are an abomination and those who either support them or order their construction should be forced to ride over them in your truck. 
Hey dumbass co-worker: You’re only working a five hour shift so do you really need to call you wife two or three times an hour? None of the conversations I’ve heard you engage in with her were of any consequence so I’m really getting the impression that you’re just using your fucking cellphone for the sake of using it. Makes your dirtbag ass feel important, huh? Fuck you.
OK I think I can guess the answer to that one…ability to go over speed bumps without bumping head = worthless for heavy loads, and vice-versa…
Yeah, and a pickup truck should have a big enough cab to ride in it with a cowboy hat on, too. The latest designs of Dodge and Chevy 3/4-ton pickups both have roofs too low for me to even put on my hat! I had to buy a Ford. Even without a hat, I’d hit my head on the ceiling of my old Dodge truck going over a minor bump, and I can’t sit up straight in a Chevy truck cab at all. Grrrr.
Racist? Gimme a break. How is it racist to say if you come into the country legally you’re okay, and if you come in illegally you’re not? If you break the law, you’re a criminal. How on Earth is that racist?
If any large group of people don’t get to do whatever they want, it is blatant bigotry and xenophobic racism to imply that they shouldn’t. Didn’t you know? :rolleyes:
Which brings me to Gil Cedillo. G’wan and take your anti-American need to suppress free speech to the FCC. Grow a goddamned skin. Just because you don’t like some radio people’s remarks against your ridiculous whining, does not mean that you get to use the feds to shut them up. I hope the FCC laughs your stupid ass out to Zimbabwe.
Hey you fucking douchebag, the speed limit on the Mass Pike is 65MPH not fucking 85MPH. I got a ticket for an unsafe lane change because you were going 20MPH over the speed limit. If you hadn’t been travelling so fast, I would have plenty of time and space to make my lane change. You were so far back when I made the change that I could just see your headlights. But, because you feel it is your right to break the law, I got a ticket. Even better, I got a warning for speeding because I had to go 75 to keep you from hitting me.
Until I ran into you, my driving record was clear. I had a 99+ rating (formerly known as step 9). If I lose in court, I will be reduced to a fucking ZERO you goddamn fuckwit! I will have to pay the $100 ticket and my insurance will go up by $75/year. I will be stuck at a ZERO for 5 damn years!
I rarely drive over 70MPH on the pike and when I do, it’s only to pass. I always signal. I always wear my belt. My hands are always at 10 and 2. I always yield right of way. I am a good driver. I have never caused an accident.
But, because you fucking dumbshit Mass State Troopers feel you are above the fucking law, I got a ticket and my flawless driving record is totally fucked.
Yes, the cop was the one speeding. No, he did not have emergency lights on. No he did not signal that he was in an emergency situation. He was just speeding, driving at least 85 mph on a dark and stormy (seriously) night. He was under the impression that someone way ahead of him would be able to judge how far above the limit he was and he got pissed at me for not having a radar gun stuck in my ass. He tailgated me so badly (without any type of signal that he was a cop), that I couldn’t even see his fucking headlights in my rearview. And before you ask, no I couldn’t get in the other lane. That’s why I was in the left lane in the first fucking place.
That explanes a few things. Being not knowledgeable about trucks, I’d expect them to go over speed bumps like they aren’t there (after all they are ment to be able to go off road aren’t they). So I got overly annoyed by big trucks going really slow over speed bumps. I’ll not be quite as annoyed at them any more.
PS UK calls speed bumps “sleeping policemen” perhapse that could catch on in USA?
I know its probably gonna take a little time…but monday I let the hiring manager for the job I want know that I want it and gave her my resume and a transfer request that she asked for. She said at that time she would send me an email invite for an interview and I still haven’t gotten it! (I know I know, it’s only been 3 days but I really want that job!)
Dear (not my) Management Bitch:
How dare you take such a condescending tone during our conversation today. Your people dropped the ball. I DID MY GODDAMN JOB! I left numerous messages for your facility and received ONE returned phone call - and it wasn’t you, you stupid cunt. The person who promised to call me back THAT DAY never called. You act like I’m a fucking psychic - of course I would know what time and date she wants for the appointment. Of course I know your facility’s hours of operation. THAT’S WHY SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BACK! And now you’re going to use my name to bill us for that appointment. Please, take a photograph of your face when you realize I don’t have authorization to spend my employer’s money. I’d love to see it. I thought we hashed this out last time, anyway. WTF?
Dear Pansy-Ass Management of another company:
It’s not your place to call and whine to certain people that you aren’t getting what you want when you want it. I laid out for you the reason I was waiting for that call. Don’t call her manager to bitch about it. I offered an alternative, and I told you to sit tight if that wouldn’t work. Thanks for not responding to me at all. Thanks for taking it upon yourself to try to fix things yourself. I really fucking appreciate it.
Dear Ass-Munching Monkey:
If you say you will do something, DO IT! Your manager is not supposed to be a middle-man. I’m that person; we don’t need another. You did good calling me the first time. Show some consistency. Bitch.
Dear Self:
Take this lesson to heart: harrassing people is an OK thing to do. Follow up every single goddamn motherfucking day lest someone accuse you of dropping the ball. Remember: if something goes wrong, it’s your fault no matter what. Take that lesson to heart. Love it & live it.
GAH! :mad:
Fancy that.
