I was so surprised by this event that I didn’t even think to get the truck number, if there even was one. By the time I thought of it, the truck was long gone. I’m thinking it had to be an OO.
What if this driver pulled that prank on 20 other drivers yesterday? That would be 20 potential serious accidents.
When he has the window down, throw a pee bottle into his truck. Or a rattlesnake.

Talk about a stupid and bizarre thing to do. Today I’m driving along on I55, doing 68 in a 70 zone, perfectly content and happy to be driving on such a beautiful day. I see in my mirror that another truck is gaining on me in the passing lane. No big deal, right? Traffic is light and plenty of room for everyone. This truck gets right beside me and matches my speed. Then the driver honks, so I look over and the driver has the passenger side window down. The driver is grinning like a possum eating manure and looking at me instead of watching the road. I’m totally taken by surprise as I see the window go up and there is a printed sign that says “ MODERN DAY SLAVERY”. WTF? WTF? I was really p***ed off and slowed down to get this idiot away from me. Now if this moron wants to pull this garbage at a truck stop or rest area where no one is moving, that is one thing, but on the highway? This kind of nonsense makes me nervous and I don’t like to be nervous. My thought is to hope that the fleas of a thousand camels infest that driver’s armpits and other areas.
