Jackoff at 7-11, sitting in truck, engine idling, yammering on cell phone.
It's a diesel truck, which means it's loud as fuck and right next to the window of my apartment. He's been there for twenty minutes. Fucking asshole. Why are so many people in this country so damn inconsiderate? Guarans he's a Bush supporter, he sure as hell supports the oil industry driving his planet killer all over the place and leaving it idling in parking lots for twenty minutes. Vulgar son of biotch, needs to learn some fucking etiquette.

2. Good idea and I've done it in the past
There was a phone number, but it is like trying to hold back a flood. Alas, I am relegated to posting about it in the Lounge in the attempt to try and get a few laughs and keep my sanity. Thanks, Crazy.

17. Actually....
a Diesel engine uses less fuel idilling for an hour than it does to turn it off and re-start it.

19. I knew that somebody was going to try and point that out.
Yes but it doesn't help if you are running a mega-pick up planet killer, now does it? Plus have you ever heard of a little thing called noise pollution? :hi:

20. Not only that...
.... but there is a reason that truckers don't turn off their engines. Turning off a hot engine (so that it cools quickly) risks damaging it. After hours of highway driving, the engine must be idled for a while before you shut it off.

I see that there aren't many long-haul truckers here :)

22. Why?
I've heard this many times.

Personally I think it's a conspiracy by the oil industry to keep diesel trucks on the road.

24. higher compression ratio
also a diesel engine has a longer life span and is more fuel efficiant than the engine in a car.

23. No flames please, but at least he pulled over.
Maybe he was driving and got a call he needed to take. I know lots of people complain about people driving while their talking on the phone, saying it's not safe. In New Jersey you have to pull over, you're not allowed to talk on the phone while you're driving.

And he did pull over into a public place's parking lot, not in a residential area.

And also it takes more gas to start up a diesel engine then to let it idle most of the time.

32. I hate how our society is plagued with noise and air pollution.
I can't deal with it.

Hence, my inability to cope, refusal to accept it, and my unrealistic demands of others as a tool of avoidance.

Damn you.
