I was driving into work this morning when I realized a little quirk about me. I mean its one a million quirks I have, but this one made me feel like a good person. While driving in horrific traffic that takes me an entire hour to drive all of 15 miles (all freeway miles, mind you), I notice that when large box trucks or semis are constantly at a disadvantage to change lanes in the endless maze that is my morning commute. I always slow down and flash my lights and let these poor guys overs. They get stuck with people unwilling to give up those precious few seconds they would lose by allowing these drivers over. These guys are stuck driving 55 mph even when it isn't slow out.
Yes, I know they are paid, but when you job pretty much bums out people stuck behind you (or next to you), then I think that me letting them over gives them a little "hey that rocked" moment in their days full of "ugh".
Is that silly? Probably. I really don't care, it makes me feel good. I hope it makes them feel good. I don't have any pictures of semis that I have taken myself, so here are some Google searched ones!
