Impatient hypocrite

Posted by Bus Driver on June 10, 2006 at 10:41:21 from (66.44.251.177):
Our roads in this area are mostly 18 feet wide, 9 feet for each lane, winding and hilly, in the Foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Garbage pickup is by companies that the homeowner chooses and (hopefully) pays. The trucks stop in a lane of the road, sometimes on the wrong side so that the driver (usually just one-man crew) does not have to walk across lane of traffic to get to the particular house. Other drivers have to watch coming around blind curves and often have to stop while the other lane clears. Not really a problem for me, in my opinion, garbage collection is honorable work and important. But today, I am going down the road on my farm tractor with trailer, going full transport speed, about 15 MPH for my tractor. Guess who was the most impatient driver to get behind me- the garbage truck! My guess is that he has a certain number of stops each day and when those are complete, he is finished for the day. He usually hustles. Should I now be impatient when he blocks the road?
