Just messing with you youngblood.
I have been hit with droplets while passing or following 18 wheelers. I tell myself that it's condensation off of a refrigeration system or their AC. Of course when you can see it draining from the back doors and dripping off, it sort of makes you wonder what's thawing in there. And wonder if you are getting sprayed with drippings of rotting food.
I think the worst was two weeks ago when I was passing a truck in the outside lane. Right as I got to the rear of the cab, I got hit with a little shower. It smelled like 3 week old piss.
The first thing that popped into my mind was that the driver had rigged himself up a make shift relief station in his cab so he didn't have to stop. I went straight home and showered and I have no opinion on how it taste.
I love my windshield!
As for the garbage truck, I went for a few months when the garbage truck driver would compress his load right between my driveway and my mailbox on the other side of the road. Naturally several gallons of very aeromatic liquids ran out onto the road. This would smell for several days before he returned to refresh the site. Finally I was lucky enough to be at home when they came by. I explained the purpose and theory of garbage removal to the driver and how compressing his load in a residential area was sort of counter productive. Well, he wasn't impressed and told me he was just doing his job.
I realised that he and his coworkers are exposed to the stinch all day everyday and he thought I was just some puss that wanted to whine. So, I ask him what would happen if someone was to hide a 25lb. bottle of propane in their garbage and it got compressed in his truck? He got this real funny look on his face, I turned and walked away. I haven't had garbage squeezings in my drive since.
Ride safe and your lips sealed.
