Since you have so skilfully tried your best to shoot me down, you have failed (as I knew you would), I will leave you with a word that describes you to a tee . . . NEBBISH. A better descriptive cannot be applied. Have a sparkling weekend.
neb·bish/ˈnebiSH/
Noun: A person, esp. a man, who is pitifully ineffectual, timid, or submissive.
Is that the best you could do? How long did you have to search to find that woefully inadequate word. I'll be honest, I had to look it up to see what the hell you were talking about.
I know, just by reading your previous posts, you don't use that word on a regular basis. What am I saying, you have never used that word before. You are just searching for a way to try to get under my skin. It won't work. I take a trucking message board about as serious as the CB radio and the stories told around the truck stop horseshoe table, not at all. This is a hobby to me. Every once in a while I find someone like you that intrigues me enough to toy with. I have a short attention span, so don't worry, I'll lose interest after a little while.
I didn't start this crap as you state. I stated my opinion and you decided that you didn't like my opinion. Let's recap, 4 weeks ago I posted this in response to you calling anyone washing a company truck a moron.
Taking pride in your job makes you a moron? Color me a moron then. I wash my FedEx truck several times a week. My truck is a reflection of me and my job performance. To each his own. If you don't want to, don't wash yours. Don't hate on someone else because they like to look good.
It took you 2 weeks to bite, but you did so here...
I still say that if you are out there washing on your truck for free, you are a moron. This, of course, is after we have sat babysitting the worn out equipment on the side of the road for 2 hours for free then a mighty $14 per hour (after they can find lunch breaks to deduct and the like) or waiting at the terminal before leaving out to get a tire fixed that was at the dock off the rim (just how in the hell does that happen anyway) for next to nothing.
Scrub away clean freaks. I'll keep my windows clean and the inside of my cab clean because that's where I live. As far as the outside....screw it. If it gets extra scrutiny at a scale house...so be it. The chances of that happening are extremely minor.
And it went from there. As I pointed out before, I disagreed with your opinion and gave my opinion. At no time did I ever attack or call you names. The same can't be said for you. I didn't start any crap. You took my post and ran with it. You made it crap by taking it personal. This is a message board. It is here for discussion between members of the board. If your opinion is the only thing allowed on a message board, it would be a very dead one.
Instead of concentrating all your energy on me, why not tell some friends about the board? Get some other discussions going about the company you work for, good or bad? Get this board hoping with discussion. The last post below the most current post,
iphone app, was last post to one week ago. Get involved with the board like you did trying to rattle my cage.
Tell your fellow drivers about this site. I know for a fact the management at FedEx reads truckingboards. Why is that? Because it's active and has a lot of drivers involved. They can get a good feel for the way drivers are leaning.
