They aren't listening to the radio or if they are, they aren't going to appologize to someone who just cursed at them or called them a name.
If someone asked me nicely to slow down, move over, etc., I would respond and do so.* If someone called me a "stupid f**k", I would ignore him.
And if someone broadcasts "Thanks for the wake, moron.", there isn't really an appropriate response that won't make matters worse.
I thought there was a law!* No?* Maybe I was just projecting a little common sense.rwidman wrote:
There should be a law against anchoring in a narrow channel and it should be enforced by ticketing the offenders.
