Round here you get the finger for going to fast and to slow. Can't win

Very rural here....EVERYBODY just waves, don't know some of them, but we are in a good spot.

I slow down, give room, all good. Swather combine truck cart drill...

They probably figure you were taking their food to Costco and Walmart.

I just smile.....wave and feel sorry for the clown because he has to go to an 8-5 job tomorrow.

Everyone around here seems very polite. We make some big slow moves and havenâ€™t had a problem - yet

I live 2 miles from a pheasant release site so last week all the big city bird hunting guys started showing up. The bridge on the highway is shut to build a new one so I have to detour through pheasant land to get to work.

Absolutely none of them wave. Some drive sooooo slow road hunting. Others drive super fast they don't care who's around. Some hog the road. Some have ginormous campers on a tiny back round. Some are walking down the road with their dogs and don't feel they really need to move over much. Many seem to feel like they need to be in a convoy coming down the road at 6am so they're sitting there ready when the sun comes up.

It's all very annoying. I'm glad I'm not the farmers trying to get their trucks and combines down the road to the fields. Or the ones that have to try and combine the fields full of hunters walking through them. Every year.

I have given the finger to my neighbors going by my house hauling hay at dusk with no lights on on the highway going 8 mph just before a left turn. Stupid is everywhere.

Might be a few fingers today silage crew coming in and one field is 2 miles of hi-way. Corn sticky windows by end of day might make fingers hard to see

Agreed and farmers are not innocent either. Should a 50 ft header be taken down the grid. There is literally no place to go if you meet one of these. christ all the road signs are going to have to be moved out 6 ft. In Europe these things get put on a trailer and pulled out.

I have had farmers race me to the intersection with their sprayers, had one nearly drive my dad off the road. Got a bunch of others that cant wait for 30s at an intersection for your to go by, nope gotta pull on the road and make you take the shoulder. Last year at harvest driving to the yard at a brisk 80kph on back road gravel, nope not fast enough for some retard, literally took the grass in the ditch and passed me.

And the local BTOs thinks its hilarious to move 12 combines 3 carts and 2 semis to the next RM at after sunset.
