    Lol, I'm a flagger and that's pretty much true, but this job has benefits. Good pay in my union hall, benefits of staying active, and being outdoors. It's honestly not that stressful, but boredom is thee.worst part or if you're tired and cranky.

    This guy is in the wrong job for taking driver habits personally. Lack of eye contact is one thing, but the fact that he's not having to do interaction means he's not being distracted by people, which is precious for a job as dangerous as this.
