Yeah, I just love driving the Pike near Exit 9 (where 84 merges)--such friendly people. Or, better yet, Rte 1 before or after a Patriots game.

I like either one
"Hurt". Johnny Cash so outdid Nine Inch Nails, it was personal for him.
And the video, with all those pictures from his younger years, and his wife.
Awesome.

Dirt/garbage being dumped or thrown on a belt.......Some people at UPS musta been raised in a damn barn 
Oh yes..this really burns me up. How about those people who question every item thats not covered by a coupon and the checker saying "this is not a coupon item, do you still want it?" and they end up taking most things out of the bag to double check. Crap!

Yuck! I keep a clean truck, but I will NOT pick up another mans garbage!
Truthfully, IMO, Feeder drivers keep their vehicles 100 times cleaner than Package drivers, NO OFFENSE!!! I, too, drive a different tractor every day. There's cleaner and a small broom in nearly every one.
I used to think it was ridiculous to sweep it out everyday, but after sharing a tractor with some of the senior guys, and seeing them do it before they turned it over to me, it just seems like a courtesy now.

I've seen our feeder drivers sweeping out the cabs and know they all seem to be very critical of those who don't.
I agree that PC drivers are basically slobs, but to be fair, most of trucks are so loose that sand/dust silts into every crack in the structure. Many PCs a driven on dirt roads, boxes bust open spilling packing peanuts, preloaders leave add/cut forms and soft drink cans/bottles scattered. With all the "help" drivers get in trying to keep the PC clean it's not wonder to me that some of us just get tired of cleaning up for others.
We have one driver that can start out with a spotless PC on Monday, by Friday there are 5-6-7 food bags wadded up in the floor plus a weeks worth of peanuts and a couple of pounds of dirt, I HATE having to drive his PC.
Another driver eats bananas and apples everyday, he peals the little stickers off them and sticks them to the sun visor...
I just don't add to the mess, I can usually find a trash can somewhere to throw my crap.
Since we are on messy trucks and pet peeves. What is so hard about cleaning up spilled soft drink or coffee? Nearly every truck in our fleet has a sticky mess on the dash, the motor cover and the floor.
I tell ya, we work with a bunch-o-pigs.

Not a pig, here. I love a clean PC. I sweep mine out regularly. I don't have any dirt roads on my area and always have the same cars, as I've bid this route the past 6 years. I will grunt and groan, when someone leaves "my" car dirty after I've taken a day or come off of vacation, but I'll clean it, just the same.
