I wasn't there so I can't say who is right or wrong, but it is never a good idea to cruise at or near a truckers blind spots. I adjust my speed faster or slower so that I can see the drive in their mirrors.
Well ya, I'm with you on that. I don't see how else I could have approached, and you seem to think I was just barely coming up on him. I wasn't anywhere near a blind spot(empty trailer)signalled early, pulled out probably 800m back, and it wasn't until I was close to along side him when he moved over. Had he not cut me off, I would have accelerated when I got anywhere near his actual blind spot, and carried on, as I always do when I pass semis. If they have a load, I usually accelerate further back. I don't want to be anywhere near their blind spot for longer than necessary.
People have no sense of who is around them. Yesterday I had my cart following another lady into the cooler at Costco. Right at the entrance she stops, and leaves her cart and walked in. Like, thanks lady. This is becoming a pattern for me, whether cars or carts!
I enjoy shaming them. It’s one reason I like grocery shopping.
Passed a guy who was going 80 in the middle lane on Stoney Trail, and noticed him on the phone. Looked like it must have been on speaker as he had one hand on the wheel and his phone held out in front of him.
Buddy, what you're doing is not hands-free. It's ears-free.
It’s brain-free.
Put the phone on the seat. Still illegal but less obvious.

Nah, I used to drive a big truck and trailer in my summer job for years. You get a feel for the types that will try to fk you over. Geraldsh is right...you have to initiate the lane change before they have a chance to screw you. They don't care if your lane is ending. They don't care if you have a turn coming up and need over...some people just will not let a truck and trailer in.
OK, in that situation with a lane ending and no choice, I get it. On the dual lane TCH(and not busy at the time) there is no excuse to drive unpredictably.
I was getting lab work this morning, and there's only one washroom at the Thorncliff location. I knocked on the door and heard someone say it's occupied.
An older lady gets in line behind me and says "they need more washrooms." Not 90 seconds later she says "oh for god's sake!" and butts ahead and starts jiggling the door handle violently before returning to her place in line. When the occupant came out of the washroom she gave me the absolute dirtiest look, and I'm certain she didn't buy the 'it wasn't me!' expression I was trying to sell.

That’s actually kind of good prank.

You got punked by an old lady.

Had it totally ruined for me on a 8 hour bus ride in Peru. They had, like, 4 episodes on repeat and the volume cranked so loud you couldn't sleep or block it out with headphones(not with the type I had with me, anyway). I think I now have an understanding of what sonic torture was like at Gitmo.
Only bits I don't like are the cop ones. It's unfair. Getting duped by a rando on the street, fair game. When they pretend to be the police, you're going to comply with whatever dumb crap they have you doing (for a while, anyway) regardless of how skeptical you are.

You'll love this one then!
