The things that 'grind your gears' thread...

Because they do get bogged in the outback, who is gunna sink a rig in mud for a stupid camera?
Steve Graham is da man, like the stickers says,'dont like trucks, dont buy stuff'.

I doubt the average trucker gets bogged every trip though.

They'd be getting a decent chunk of change to allow these film crews to follow them around. And even though breakdowns and misadventures happen they're typically not an every trip occurrence. A friend from school that drives trucks swears they've either got the worst luck or they manufacture issues to make the show more interesting.

If all you saw was the commentator saying that the driver is 8, 16 and 32 hours into a 2 day trip and he's ahead of schedule. Looks like it's going to be another smooth drive. People wouldn't watch. The drama sells the show for most people.

Couldn't tell you what their names are. And I've never driven a semi trailer. But I've got a mate from school that's a truck driver. And he's been one for 20+ years and he swears that these guys are either
1. Terrible drivers
2. The most unlucky drivers
3. Getting their trucks into situations because they're earning money to add Deana to the show.

So take offence with me saying this if you want to. But I'll take the word of someone that's been driving semi trailers for two decades on this. A lot of the situations are put on for the sake of television drama.

On another note, when you drive on a route that trucks drive on, do you see 25 trucks on the side of the road with major issues every time you drive. Because the 3 or 4 trucks in this show are pulled over with major issues on every episode. Do let's say there's 10,000 trucks on the road at any time and they each average 1 breakdown or get bogged every 24 hours. Logic tells me you'd be seeing 5 or 6 trucks with issues every time you drove for half an hour.

Sadly this is common enough to have a name. Munchausen by proxy.

There's a special place in hell for people who harm children intentionally. My Mum decided to start being a foster carer when I was a teenager. Legally I'm not allowed to talk about what some of the kids she's taken in went through. But it's a cruel world.

Are you legally allowed to share fables about made-up characters?

What about the parents who scammed people with a "go fund me" for their son who had cancer, they even convinced him he had it.

I was on a prepaid mobile plan with them for years. The plan offered a shitty amount of data for the price and had for years. So I finally got around to shopping around for a better deal. I settled on boost mobile. They were offering 28x the amount of data with the exact same perks for about $8/month less price. I get coverage with boost in more remote places too.
 
Who is this Google fella?
Nothing opened on my computer to that.
Fuck the vilification attempt, gee the shit out of the microscope, theyre falling over each other to power trip.
We gotta wind this one up before the footy starts, I challenge them to a stat declaration.

Nothing worse than being interrogated by people you can't see who try to make rules, kind of makes you defensive, sorry to the innocent affected but fighting two or three fronts blindfolded is a mission.

As usual Bob - your concepts are too high level for my understanding. But I did get the Samantha Rone reference. Not my flavour but can appreciate well played. 8-)

Being a diverse complex intellectual means I get people trying to undermine my efforts, even if I have a shocker the groundwork precedent was there first and I wasnt having these problems until they upped the ante
