I guess I can think of something, but it's not relevant at all.

Speaker 2

Right now, school bus, go ahead, snowplow, that's on the list. That's a great one. That's a great one. And that is that's an inconvenience.

Speaker 3

Oh yeah yeah, but no plow appreciative just like a school bus, Diane, Right of what service they're providing, right.

Speaker 2

They didn't differentiate between snowplow and the the plow train. But it's the same thing. Yeah, you get stuck behind that. It is Jesus h come on, that's a good one.

Speaker 1

Very good. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. That's very specific.

Speaker 3

I say I could name ten classes of vehicles before I'm getting to make and model.

Speaker 2

Right. No, I agree, I agree. My two were not like specific brands of cars.

Speaker 1

They are types of vehicles.

Speaker 3

And you said it was out of inconvenience. I can't.

Speaker 2

I gotta be honest, I can't think of any out of fear. I'm not I'm not really fearful. Driving behind any vehicle.

Speaker 3

That, come on, can I give you another one out of what? It's just a setup that some cars are really haulers and have that makes me nervous, and I don't like driving behind.

Speaker 1

Them open flatbed with a tarp yep and don't if you're lucky.

Speaker 4

Yeah, I hate that. Sometimes I'm behind somebody with ladders. I'm like, this could be it.

Speaker 1

Now, I thought you meant.

Speaker 2

I thought you were going to say, like where you see like an eighteen wheeler that's pulling like like a big piece of equipment and it's not like in in closed like it.

Speaker 4

Or it has like the HVAC machine that's going to like, uh fuel a whole hospital.

Speaker 1

I'm a strap away from death.

Speaker 2

So but you're just talking about it's covered with the tarp and it's anything could come flying out of there.

Speaker 1

But yours too.

Speaker 3

I just don't like driving you know what else I see?

Speaker 1

Okay, now you're stealing from everybody?

Speaker 4

Go ahead, go ahead, And only because I only hear about like so many fatalities associated with that.

Speaker 1

Oh Dodge chargers, No.

Speaker 4

No, those are reckless drive cement trucks.

Speaker 1

Oh zero fear of a cement truck.

Speaker 4

Do you really because they're so heavy. And I just remember in my traffic reporting days hearing so many fatalities involving those.

Speaker 2

Oh, just if they hit you the I don't have a problem with a cement a cement truck.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I don't have a problem with that. That doesn't bother me. I feel like they move.

Speaker 4

We give them a wide berth.

Speaker 1

You give everything a wide bird.

Speaker 3

I would move to for one of those days. You haven't found one thing. I'm staying behind yet. Hi Elliott the morning school bus because you have to right, Thank you.

Speaker 1

Hi Elliott the morning.

Speaker 2

Yeah, worse vehicle to get stuck behind.

Speaker 1

Thank you.

Speaker 2

That's on the list. That's a great one. That is a great one. They actually lumped that together, septic truck or liquid manure spreader.

Speaker 1

They lumped those two together.

Speaker 2

But yeah, like when I had the and I know, I know that the septic companies will tell you septic trucks don't smell.

Speaker 1

It's all in case.

Speaker 2

When I lived in False Church, we were on septic and when they would pull in to drain it, it would be them and an arrow of flies telling them where to go.

Speaker 1

It was bad. That's a great one. That is a great one.

Speaker 5

Tah Hi, Elliot, the morning, Elliott, Good morning, what you got? All right? So, I don't know if this is regional or not, but have you ever been stuck behind one of those metro access vans the people they pick up people and take them to the metro. I swear to god those things can't go faster than forty five miles an hour.

Speaker 1

All about what. I will tell you this. They do tend to.

Speaker 2

Lean slow, have a slower mph to them.

Speaker 1

That is true. Oh god, they do absolutely infuriate us.

Speaker 5

And they're alway on the road in rush hour another time of day.

Speaker 3

I know.

Speaker 2

They do serve a purpose, but yes, I'm with you. They're kind of school bus related. All right, very good, very.

Speaker 1

Good purpose off purpose.

Speaker 3

I think we have to get beyond the the service that's being provided.

Speaker 2

Oh yeah, oh you could still be pissed.

Speaker 3

So adult daycare put it down. They it's not because they're slow, it's because I feel like they're reckless.

Speaker 1

The what the adult daycare? Yes, now, I will say this.

Speaker 2

I don't mind them so much on the road, you know where I do mind them when you pull into the parking lot and they got to stop at doctor's office.

Speaker 1

No, grocery store. O, holy crap.

Speaker 2

And I gotta wait for Bertha, and I gotta wait for Saul to get off, and they are slow and they got bags and walkers.

Speaker 1

Oh that is forever.

Speaker 2

Speaker 1

Worst vehicle to be stuck behind.

Speaker 2

For me?

Speaker 5

It's any law enforcement vehicle.

Now?

Speaker 2

Is that due to outstanding warrants? Or is that due to damn it?

Speaker 1

Now? I sit there, I do it. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you.

Speaker 2

I stare at the speedometer like my life depends on it.

Speaker 1

Absolutely No, I'm with you. If you got a heavy foot, that's bad. Yes, tyler Um.

Speaker 3

This subm mission comes with a photo attached. It's from Hoby and it's Virginia Conservation Police Wild Crime at DWR dot Virginia dot com. That seems personal a little bit. Kristen submitted one that also seems very very personal.

Speaker 1

What did you submit?

Speaker 3

Speaker 3

Of course, that's the one I was referring.

Speaker 2

That's a good one. That's a good one. Yes, they do take up the road and.

Speaker 1

Time fields, prayers.

Speaker 3

They take up to both the Oh.

Speaker 2

You know what, that's a good one. That's a good one. I will say that that's a rural one, but that is a good one.

Speaker 3

They go pretty quick for what you would think.

Speaker 2

Right, but they also poison your lungs while you're driving behind them.

Speaker 1

No, that's a good one.

Speaker 3

And combine like the harvestars.

Speaker 1

Okay, Kristen, have you ever been stuck behind one?

Speaker 5

No?

Speaker 1

Actually I haven't.

Speaker 2

I've never been stuck behind There's not a lot of combines driving through the district.

Speaker 1

You would hate it the Yes, it sounds.

Speaker 2

Like it would be an inconvenience, But no, I've never been behind one amish buggy out of all of those.

Speaker 1

I'll write that down. That is that? That is an annoyance.

Speaker 3

Did that make your list?

Speaker 4

No?

Speaker 1

It didn't.

Speaker 2

You know what, there's a great one on here that I'm fearful nobody is gonna get.

Speaker 3

I thought of another one, go ahead, oversized load. Okay, okay?

Speaker 2

That that that was mine in the little car with a yellow mics it behind it.

Speaker 1

That was mine. It didn't make it. No. No, the one carrying the house that's split in half, I move it over night.

Speaker 2

Oh that was that's my number one. That was my number one. When you see I don't I don't care if it's wide low like like they've got some the flags, no yellow sign half a house, because you know what's coming right behind is the other half. Oh and they take up three lanes.

Speaker 1

And Diane's right.

Speaker 2

They gotta have the lead truck and the behind car. There are famous people funeral processions that aren't that long.

Speaker 1

Jesus, that is the worst. Oh is that another one again?

Speaker 3

Remember what I said about this service provided right.

Speaker 2

No, now I will say this that no, no, But now that you mentioned that, that should be when I think of funeral procession though, the biggest inconvenience.

Speaker 1

I'm just trying to make a left.

Speaker 2

I'm just trying to make a left. Oh and they don't stop, they just roll right through.

Speaker 1

That's a great one.

Speaker 4

That's why they have a police that has scored.

Speaker 1

I know, but leave a gap.

Speaker 4

Let me just.

Speaker 3

Through once with you saying famous, the say again, you don't have to be famous. You have a procession A long one.

Speaker 1

No, but it's a long one. No, I was saying the house one, the half house is.

Speaker 2

It's that's worse than a long funeral procession, although at least you're moving.

Speaker 3

Oh what's your other one?

Speaker 1

The just any bicycle?

Speaker 2

Now, I will say they have one that that bicycle kind of gets lumped in with a pedal pub?

Speaker 4

How often are you behind a pedal pub unless you're in Nashville.

Speaker 1

Now, I've never.

Speaker 2

Been stuck behind one, but I know I don't like one bike. I can't imagine twenty of them all trying to move, essentially an Amish buggy down there.

Speaker 4

Everybody's buzzed.

Speaker 2

Pedal pub. Pedal pub would suck. But yeah, and I don't mind a bike if you if you've got room, But when you're in the middle of the lane and don't, don't I'm stopping.

Speaker 1

Oh god, No, that sucks.

Speaker 2

That sucks. But thank you for wide load, wide load. There's another great one on here. I'm just fearful nobody's gonna get it. There's a bunch that are still on here. Hi yea yeah, the morning.

Speaker 1

Speaker 4

I would say, grandma in the left lane hogging up.

Speaker 1

Now that's a good one.

Speaker 2

And now that that is very specific. That didn't make the list, But that's good. And that one I lump in with ghost driver.

Speaker 4

What do you mean ghost driver? Where you can't see them?

Speaker 2

They are so old and small that you can't see them over the seat And it looks like it may as well be way mo that's doing twenty and swerving.

Speaker 1

Speaker 3

From ivan, trash truck in the summertime.

Speaker 1

Oh, that's that's bad. Yeah, but that they but that by the way, they're doing a service, okay.

Speaker 4

The trash trucks oftentimes will wave you around.

Speaker 1
