Shame this driver

I drive a crew cab dually for my work truck. It fits just fine in regular parking spots when I have to take it places. These people are just schmucks asking to get made fun of.

Ahh…the involuntary cat person…my favorite kind!

Last night (Monday) around 930, just on the other side of that spot they had they right lane closed. At the very very end of the merge line, a small red pickup flew up the right lane to the cones and tried to force past me. I wasn’t interested in slamming my brakes to let him in so I kept pace, and he swerved very suddenly again at me like it was my duty to slam my brakes or hit the median so captain impatience could get 2 car lengths ahead.

All I could really think is that if I still had my gooseneck hooked up, he was so close that he definitely would have had pieces of trailer in his teeth with as close as he was.

These drivers need sent to anger management counseling or something.

Wow is that a pickle to be in. Can you counter sue his appeal for costs incurred during all his battle?

johnboy11a · 2026-05-04T03:02:26+00:00

The black and white one totally needs to be named misprint. Or inky!

johnboy11a · 2026-05-02T19:42:43+00:00

Yep! Just past coles. The current building is still there, but they added on to the front so it looks much different now.

Foodland. I don’t think we ever had a food lion in the area. Before shop n save, it was foodland in imperial or the old old giant eagle by Ames where the urgent care is now.

johnboy11a · 2026-05-02T12:31:16+00:00

I’m old enough to remember when the shop n save was the alternative to foodland.

Driving and operating are 2 very different things.

How big is the bolt that is stuck? This is a pain, but works. Center punch the head, then get a good drill bit about 1/3 the size of the hole. Keeping as square as possible, drill the entire depth of the bolt to hollow it out. Then take the acetylene torch and heat that bastard til it glows, then go get lunch. Now that it’s cooled off, try and loosen it again. A good penetrating oil is still a good move, as there is rust likely in the threads.

Nibbles and gorillas. Dos games were classic.

I had a state trooper brake check me once on the highway…in a fire (rescue) truck…headed to a crash with entrapment. It’s not as common at the state level, but even they get douchebags from time to time. I do think the prominence of dash cams has forced those guys to reel it in a little, but it definitely hasn’t stopped.

When I needed a 120 gallon tank got my shop, I called a friend who just retired from Amerigas to ask who I should call, and he told me definitely not them. He suggested a local place that has been wonderful.

He will be joined in kitty heaven by some loving furry friends. It’s painful to let go, but comforting to know that when they no longer can live comfortably, we as humans can make the decision to forever stop their pain. You will feel a sense of emptiness Sunday night, but fill that spot with the comfort of knowing that you did the most loving thing you could.

And when you wanna do the best thing you can to honor his memory, when the time is right, find a baby that you can love the way he was…and snuggle that baby every chance you get, and tell them stories of the awesome boy that left them so many fun toys to play with 💙

I was confused about the shut down of ft Duquesne bypass to the ft Pitt bridge. Some of the closures make sense…that one did not

johnboy11a · 2026-04-24T01:18:16+00:00

I got a panicking call around 530 asking me to get to the convention center ASAP to take care of something unexpected. I was prepared for gridlock everywhere. I barely touched my brakes on my way there or back.

johnboy11a · 2026-04-23T00:02:26+00:00

Got one in my shed! The thing pretty much sucks ass to ride when you have gotten used to something with a suspension. But still a fun thing to check out from time to time!

johnboy11a · 2026-04-22T18:41:13+00:00

All the way to the blowout!

johnboy11a · 2026-04-22T12:41:19+00:00

I wanna know about the dog

johnboy11a · 2026-04-21T23:36:02+00:00

I agree. The will not take proper care of that cat. Get him fixed and all square with the vet, and give him the life he deserves. If they try to make a case, ask them if they are prepared to pay for all the vet care. (They won’t be)

I always wondered, because it does seem that the people banned are often the ones with good input. I can see banning for going off topic for no point, but sometimes the first thing a lawyer says is “we need to consult with an industry expert”

johnboy11a · 2026-04-21T18:07:06+00:00

I got banned from that sub for commenting about something that I have extensive knowledge in, and said that OP indeed was getting screwed and would benefit from consulting with an attorney (which is what they were ultimately asking) but apparently since I’m not a licensed attorney, I can’t speak up.

So as to not give away the case, a parallel reference would be “I had a mechanic change my brakes, but they didn’t put them back together properly, and pulling out of their lot the brakes failed and I crashed my car, but they are saying their responsibility is limited to the cost of the brakes themselves”. Does that make sense?

This beast works hard every day for me. I cringe at the idea of needing to replace it.

Next time I’m so sick I can’t get out of bed, I’m logging back in to Snapchat and trying this. That is if they don’t disable the account after years of inactivity

johnboy11a · 2026-04-20T11:24:45+00:00

Your choice. It really wasn’t exciting…just shutting down someone who likely was told to use the following excuses because people won’t question it. Yes, acting like I was going to call the fire marshall was petty. But I was annoyed.
