Default We need to not talk!

As the days roll by and I see an increasing number of drivers and the general population incessantly talking on cell phones, I have come to the conclusion that all this conversation is mindless babble.

What else could it be? 99% of the general population should be able to take care of all business matters say hello to their loved ones and even all their aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, the entire graduating class of their alma mater in 30 minutes or less!

So tell me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What is there to talk about?

Then be SURE to buy that "fake" Bluetooth earpiece, so you can sit at the truckstop counter and pretend to be IMPORTANT!! :lol: :lol:

WHY do so many truckers want to pretend that they are a 'cast member' on Star Trek?? If you want to IMPRESS me, chew your food before talking, and pull your pants up over your Crack! :shock:

Look around the counter in a truckstop, and you can tell the REAL truckers from the 'newbies!' The Oldtimers have long hair, long faces, and NO "earpiece." The Newbies have short hair, a "Star Trek" earpiece just above their earring, and too many tattoos!

They are ALSO the ones telling Tall Tales about their "expoloits" and trying to "recruit" you! :lol:

Oh... and they are USUALLY the ones leaving the smallest TIP.... because they have the smallest ..####'s!!! Oh..... nevermind!

DO your job.... LISTEN and LEARN from those who've done it.... and take that stupid SH!T out of your ear! You look like the FOOL you "probably" ARE! :lol:

Those bluetooth ear pieces drive me crazy. I see people all the time talking on them in the mall or grocery store. They look like they are talking to nobody and that they are 'off balance'-schizo. I think they belong in a mental institution :shock:

All this talking is disturbing!

For instance, if I meet 100 drivers on the road and half of them are on the phone, I have to assume that if these people drive for 10 hours, they are on the phone for 5 hours.

It makes me bonkers. :shock: :evil: :shock: :?

WOW!

Fuel is over $3 a gallon or $100 a barrel, we in are in the beginning of a important election year, our enemies have nuclear weapons, there is a clear attack on the middle class & etc., and we are worried about someone with an earpiece in their ear, at the mall, grocery store or truckstop!

WOW!
