Life on the Road – Trucking News Blog

I was bored last night so I thought I would see what was on *normal* TV. I have been watching the series on NBC called “Momma’s Boys” simply because I think it’s funny how protective the mom’s are of their little (cough) boys.

I really was not paying much attention to it as my oldest son and I were discussing what he was wearing for 80’s Workout Day for school today when all of a sudden I heard one of the mom’s expressing to her son how she didn’t like one of the girls he had picked to go on a date with. No problem right? Nope, no problem, that was until she added “She belches really loud to like a truck driver.”  Wow, I didn’t know that truck drivers were the only ones who belched loud!

I am assuming she was trying to get the point across that she thought the girl was rude as a truck driver would be. Of course by the looks of the lady she has probably never met a true truck driver. The one that is courteous and holds the door open for someone at 3:00 am in the morning even though they look like hell warmed over, or the driver that shoots you a smile and nods as he heads to his truck, or how about the driver that says excuse unlike half of the population when they walk by you?

I would also like to assume that she was never around her son when he was growing up and he never burped or farted (oh excuse me passed gas) in her presence. PUH-LEAZE!!

She needs to come to my house on the weekends that there are four or more teenage boys hanging around playing video games. You make coffee and it disappears, you make a cake, it disappears, you hear laughing, you definitely do not want to ask to much about their conversations, and yes there is *gasp* loud belching, followed by an “Excuse me.”

Some people just need to get a life or come down off of their high horse and get past the stereotype of what a truck driver is. But I guess that’s no worse than a guy selling polishing products at our local Pilot walking up to me and speaking Spanish to me because he thought I was Mexican. I have pale skin and freckles. Maybe the guy just needed glasses??

People are idiots.
