The Freaks Come Out At Night


Is it just me, or has the recent full moon left an astounding mark on society. People get a little weird during this phase of the moon, and I have experienced enough in the past few weeks to make me want to fling myself off the next bridge I come to.


Just when I had thought I have seen enough to tide me over for the rest of the month, I stumble upon an activity that left me utterly speechless. As I was approaching the last toll booth on I-95, I noticed the masses ahead of me were scrambling to the left. I slowed to gain coherency of what was taking place, when the traffic parted..... That is when I saw this dumbass truck driver making a U-Turn in front of the Toll Booths and proceed to head north into South Bound traffic..... WTF???!!?!?!?!??!??!?!???!?


He then drives about 500 yds and makes another U-turn and heads back towards the booths. All the while, motorists are flashing their lights and sounding their horns, Truckers are screaming over the CB and pandemonium ensues as the oncoming traffic sees a Big Rig heading straight for them.


I just had this horrible feeling that he was about to make tomorrow morning's headlines....


I would almost guarantee you that all of the motorists who witnessed this take place will not remember another Trucker's courtesy or professionalism. Yet this simple act of stupidity will live on in their memories ....


And you wonder why sometimes I am embarrassed to tell you that I am a Trucker....


shhheeeeesshhhhhhhh!!
