It gained used due to allowing truckers to stay up and make more deliveries or make up time. I remember reading about Meth in GQ or Esquire magazine in 1999 or 2000 and how this was now being used by white collar workers to help them get more work done.
It's a sick world we're living in. I can't imagine how I could be so brainwashed that I'd do meth to be able to work because I'm falling out from my seat without it.
I made the argument several times many years ago that it is nuts that people are risking their health and freedom and spend loads of money to do drugs for work and not even for themselves or recreation and was downvoted as fuck.
I'm glad to see that this attitude seems to have changed.
My controversial take on that is coffee and splurge eating.
People will spend so much money to dope up on coffee and then party to cool-down from work that the extra money they make is basically thrown away in the process.
They would live healthier, and more enjoyable lives if they just worked less and also spent less. They're not saving any extra money by burning it all on coping mechanisms.
Well Iād love to work less but I work this amount to have health insurance. So I could work less not have to spend money on decompressing myself after work just to spend that extra on my own personal health insurance. So no matter what I lose
It all depends on what you really want. If you want to have kids and/or retire you may need to work full time for your entire life to achieve these things. Should it be this way? It should certainly feel easier and more secure TO work your entire life. People have always worked full time their entire lives, it's how we stay alive together.
The big issue is working conditions are just dramatically deteriorating across every industry. We no longer own a business or farm that we work at, we sell labor. And the people we sell that labor to now have improved technology to monitor metrics and deliverables. They use that new technology to scrape every single ATP of energy out of your body during your shift, whereas before (pre industrial revolution) breaks and leisure were a more regular part of the working day (and you just took them if you wanted to).
I feel for every worker that takes drugs to hit absurd computer metrics, it's not their fault.
My personal take on this is slightly nuanced. Coffee and sugary stuff in the morning is a great way to start your day occasionally, especially when youāre running late.
I prefer a banana nowadays when Iām running late though!
āGive me Weed, WHITES, and wine, show me a sign and Ill be willināš¶ written in the early 70s about trucking. Whites being speed, uppers, methamphetamine.
Way longer than that. My grandfathers neighbor was a trucker and in the 60ās he was heading out and I was just a kid. He showed me some pills and asked if I knew what they were. I said no and he said they were LA turnarounds. We were 1,500 miles from Los Angeles.
My X used to sniff Adderall in high school and that's how she became valedictorian. Of course she would need to sex it out after a studying grind. That should have been a red flag but the sex was amazing.
Absolutely. They're called trucker pills, benny's, or on-stars where I'm from. Don't know where they come from, but I've tried a couple and they are intense.
Yes. I used to unload trucks and driver would talk about it all the time, a few of them even admitted to me using meth from time to time.
Almost all of them were cross country drivers. One guy told me a lot of them do it to stay away because theyāre driving for hours on end on a boring road and they canāt stop and pull over because of deadlines.
Donāt they have to take mandatory drug test for commercial license? I guess itās not yearly or random if itās that common. It would be easy to test if that is true. I always see a lot of truckers throwing out piss bottles at truck stops and freeway entrance/exits. Just test them to see what percentage would fail. I would bet itās higher than the national average.
It's not easy to test. There's fake urine, shampoo to mask hair follicle tests and mouthwash to mask mouth swabs. The only way that's foolproof is blood tests which are cost prohibitive for a big company that tests lots of people.
What's also crazy is how the other drivers are staying close to him and trying to pass him repeatedly, AFTER he demonstrates he's a suicidal maniac endangering anyone who approaches.
Whenever someone drives aggressively or erratically near me, I immediately give them space and stay the fuck away.
I would rather be IN FRONT of the person driving like a lunatic than behind them. I would have passed in the freaking grass to get away from that, straight up. One explosion away from everyone being forced to suffer the fool.
Youād attempt to pass the trucker trying to murder everyone who attempts to pass him? Why not pull off at the next exit and have a cup of coffee and then drive normally without risking your life?
Yeah, after he tried to run that first car off the road he really deserves nothing less than a permanent reminder of how close he came to potentially spending life in prison for murder.
He can only drive a truck like that because a company allows him to and good luck finding a trucking company that will hire a driver whose license was suspended because of this.
I know this sounds toxic and not helpful ti this situation but I have a shit box with 300 hp and 4wd and an absolute death wish. This would have pushed into a game of vertical frogger for me.
I love how the van tricked him into tipping. Straight poetry.
Surprised nobody called the cops. I travel way to much and if I had to deal with this bullshit you better believe in getting the state troopers involved.
Itās hard to catch up to a moving vehicle. Probably a little easier on the highway. But very often when someone calls in with a road complaint, it might take an officer 5-10 minutes to get to the reported area and by then the problem vehicle is long gone.
I absolutely would have pulled over, rolled down my window to laugh loudly and point and scream something like "That's what you get for driving like a cunt!" Then peel out when/if he emerges. This dude needs to be openly mocked.
Now for someone to climb up, open the driver door, then spit on that foolās face. Take your bad day and get off the road! This is seriously dangerous.
My dad told me about a truck doing this before, they basically go slow and try to run people off the road when they pass. Is this like a thing lunatic truckers do?
If I remember right, I think j saw this before saying that the driver was drunk and doing this shit. He got in loads more trouble for being under something anyway, donāt fully remember what.
What was his purpose for preventing anyone else from getting in front of him? My first thought was that there was possibly something going on up ahead, like a chase or gang dispute and he was trying to hold people back to keep them safe and out of a possible gun fight or something. But I guess the truck driver was just crazy, huh? Inquiring minds and all that.
Turns out trucks are not very good at sharp turns.
Wish I could see the dude trying to explain to their ex-boss
Can't drift a truck š
Sounds like a challenge! I'll let you know if i lose my CDL in the near future!
Weāll probably end up seeing it on Reddit anyway.
Apparently i need a very icey road
You obviously never played Big Mother Truckers
But can it grind?
not with that attitude
You can in the snow
Uhh, have you seen Polar Express where Tom Hanks ghost whips a drifting train?
I did think he looked really hyphy in that film.
Dude is 100% in jail if the police saw this. Multiple attempted vehicular homicide charges in broad daylight
Actually, they are good at sharp turns, but only once
That drug test about to sing
That SUV baited that rig good.

I donāt know why but the first half of your comment made me irrationally annoyed, I was far happier when I read the last half
I would have stopped to make sure he was ok, and then made sure he wasn't.
Master baiter for sure
Must be Mose. If Dwight is to be believed anyways.
Yeah Dwights a decent baiter
Well, we know what he did to that scarecrow!
The end was like a fucking orgasm
Plus, how it stopped quickly enough so that it wasn't crushed underneath the trailer.
That was pleasure to watch. Couldn't have finished better.
Okay, why?
Meth probably.

Meth that common among truckers?

If you were a caveman you would have to work every day of your life or else literally starve to death.

āI do coke so I can work longer, so I can earn more, so I can do more cokeā
Must be why truckers are only allowed to drive a certain number of hours these days
That and those who don't drug up fall asleep behind the wheel which isn't much better.

The Germans gave their troops meth in WWII.
The clue might be in the rest of the name: meth - Amphetamine
This is why you need regulations lol. If you dont let truckers drive as long as physically possible you would hope this type of shit wouldnt happen.
My X used to sniff Adderall in high school and that's how she became valedictorian. Of course she would need to sex it out after a studying grind. That should have been a red flag but the sex was amazing.

That's from 1961.
Fred Eaglesmith taught me that they're also called West Coast Turnarounds.

COM'AAT ME BABY!!!WHhhhOoooopOOOP'p'p!!!
Itās usually theyāre either:
For a bonus, it could also potentially be:
It's drugs - I'd even bet on it. Have spent a lot of time around truckies. Or a stolen truck, and they're trying to fuck with the traffic.
So just the average cattle jockie lmao
So drugs.
All 4 seem likely
A shocking amount of truckers are alcohol/drug addicts and basically driving under the influence at all times.
Donāt they have to take mandatory drug test for commercial license? I guess itās not yearly or random if itās that common. It would be easy to test if that is true. I always see a lot of truckers throwing out piss bottles at truck stops and freeway entrance/exits. Just test them to see what percentage would fail.

I had no idea you could mess with a hair follicle test.
If I recall correctly, this guy was having a nervous breakdown/psychotic break and was sent for psychiatric treatment.
This is just based on my faint memories of the discussion the last time I saw this posted which was like years ago.
Love it when a problem resolves itself.
Especially without any of the innocent drivers getting injured
Imagine being so bitter and consumed by road rage over nothing
I donāt know why he thought real life was GTA V plus heās a truck driver so he shouldāve known that shits top heavy
He should sue Rockstar for lying about the whole "respawn in Trevor's trailer" thing...
Fucking radical behaviour,hope he lost his job and his license
And goes to prison
What a worthless parasite.
People that do stuff like this should not be allowed in society ever again. Luckily no one was hurt but it couldve easily been very bad.
Hopefully he was hurt other than his feelings.
Iāve had someone do this to me on the road. Insane behavior.
Same. Also had someone get so mad that I passed them on the highway once that they decided to then cut me off and brake check me over and over again
Some people are nuts

Thatās when you call the police to report an erratic and possibly inebriated driver.
[removed]
Or maybe his license got cancelled and he no longer can drive
[removed]
Fucking hope so. A nice catching click in the shoulder every time he puts on a T-shirt.
Yeah, after he tried to run that first car off the road he really deserves nothing less than a permanent reminder of how close he came to potentially spending life in prison for murder.
I gasped at how close he came to landing on that SUV. I thought I was going to watch somebody die. They had good reflexes.
[removed]
Mmmmawp...do you hear that?
Cancelled, okay.
Should be in prison for attempted murder...
You think he cares about licenses while drive like that?
He can only drive a truck like that because a company allows him to and good luck finding a trucking company that will hire a driver whose license was suspended because of this.
Even if you had a bad day, it doesn't justify it. He's just a dickhead.
Im not entirely convinced he isnt under the influence of something too
Yeah. My money is on Meth.
The former is a subset of the latter anyway.
With respect, please don't normalize or infantilize this.
Dude attempted multiple counts of aggravated assault and homicide - he is not just a dickhead.
The last three seconds... Toot toot mother fucker.
It hurt itself in its confusion.
Had to rewatch with sound on because of your comment. Toot toot mother fucker indeed!
So satisfying
Duel (1971)
Good movie, a must see.
Gotta get out and tell him he canāt park there.
After that first but of attempted murder, I'm surprised anyone tried to pass him again!
I know this sounds toxic and not helpful ti this situation but I have a shit box with 300 hp and 4wd and an absolute death wish. This would have pushed into a game of vertical frogger for me.
I love how the van tricked him into tipping. Straight poetry.
Jail
Straight to hell.
Surprised nobody called the cops. I travel way to much and if I had to deal with this bullshit you better believe in getting the state troopers involved.
And there is no way in hell I would try passing him. Hang back, chill, and wait for the cops to get him.Ā
Probably were called, they take forever to assist in my experience
Itās hard to catch up to a moving vehicle. Probably a little easier on the highway. But very often when someone calls in with a road complaint, it might take an officer 5-10 minutes to get to the reported area and by then the problem vehicle is long gone.
All I remember about this video is that it happened in Mexico, but I don't remember if he was arrested or not.
I would have pulled over and fight the trucker the moment his truck flipped. Absolute asshat and hope he got jail time.
Gonna go out on a limb here and say approaching the person who is doing this is not a good idea
I absolutely would have pulled over, rolled down my window to laugh loudly and point and scream something like "That's what you get for driving like a cunt!" Then peel out when/if he emerges. This dude needs to be openly mocked.
Beautiful
What drugs was this guy on? What is wrong with this person?
That driver is unhinged, needs to permanently lose his license
I have never seen so much stupidity in one clip.
I remember this video, it was a drunk Mexican truck driver being an a-hole. Not much more to it.
Like he was going to block all 3 lanes lol
if he crashed right he could have.
This is one worth pulling over to point and laugh the whole time theyāre on scene after the accident. Or go get popcorn and come back
"Witness Me!!!!"
Is this some mad max road wars shit or wtf is wrong with people??
It's obvious he is getting some kind of satisfaction out of blocking people trying to pass and nearly taking out several cars and other trucks.
It's not a competition, just hang back and call the cops on his ass instead. De-escalate the situation instead of literally feeding the IRL troll..
Eventual karma
Let them fight.
Such a satisfying end on that video.
See this repost so many times and watch it every time.
Every car should have pulled over to beat the shit out of that moron
If I had that dash cam I would park there and wait for the police.
I hope there was immediate street justice handed out before police got there.
Now for someone to climb up, open the driver door, then spit on that foolās face. Take your bad day and get off the road! This is seriously dangerous.
I'd pullover just to laugh.
My dad told me about a truck doing this before, they basically go slow and try to run people off the road when they pass. Is this like a thing lunatic truckers do?
I know cars do it, but I havenāt seen it with truckers before. I think itās more shocking because you get paid well with a CDL. Why risk it?
Drugs, power, mental illness.
That Saet Tarraracoās or whatever fuck that things called, automatic breaking system came in clutch
Dangerous a-hole should lose his licence and be banned from driving a truck
If I remember right, I think j saw this before saying that the driver was drunk and doing this shit. He got in loads more trouble for being under something anyway, donāt fully remember what.
New Bot account. This is old repost
That SUV took matter into their own hands, idk if the maneuver was intentional but I really hope it is, so satisfying
r/titlegore
more like r/eventualkarma
Great ending. I wouldn't stop to help him. fuck him.
Excellent initiation of the shake n bake maneuver by the trucker behind them. They almost freed up a lane
Edit: slingshot maneuver**
Surprised they didn't stop to beat the crap out of that driver
You canāt park thereā¦
That was a happy ending.
ngl i'd get out and just start pointing and laughing lmao
Eventual karma.
r/karmainthefullnessoftime
This video has been around a long time. It seems to lose a few pixels each time it's reposted.
That last baiter-driver will be remembered by his brethren as a hero, his story passed down into generations.
Old repost that is noticeably more pixelatedā¦probably from the amount of reposts.
Id check to see if he was ok. Then if he wasnt raging out on bath salts id kick em right in the balls.
everyone in this video shouldn't be driving, even the person recording.
Not even close to instant, but man was that satisfying.
I know everyone thought āugh, finallyā
Why not let pass anyone when you could nobody anyone not pass.
r/eventualkarma
So whatās happening with the other big rig? Was it trying to defend the commercial cars by ramming the first big rig?
FYI the karma is not instant here, it's a good minute later lol
well seeing a truck ankle breaking itself shure wasnt on my list for 2025
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Not so instant
This is amazing lol even if I miss my exit, I wouldnt get off that road, I would have to see how this ends lol
Won't let pass anyone??
Honestly I would have pulled over and waited for him to climb out in order to point and do the Nelson "Ha-Ha!"
The last guy braking like a CPU from Need for Speed is hilarious
I know cops sometimes try to slow down traffic like this when there's an accident, but bro doesn't look like a cop, so idk what the reasoning was.
This was one of the more satisfying instant karma videos Iāve watched.
Far from instant, but yes.
I really want to hear the excuse they gave to the police for this bullshit.
r/imatotalpieceofshit
Now all of you get out of your cars and bet his ass
Bye, fuckerā¦I mean trucker!
Google says this happened in Mexico. no bueno
Who gave these people CDLs, Burger King?
What was his purpose for preventing anyone else from getting in front of him? My first thought was that there was possibly something going on up ahead, like a chase or gang dispute and he was trying to hold people back to keep them safe and out of a possible gun fight or something. But I guess the truck driver was just crazy, huh? Inquiring minds and all that.
Wasn't instant but it was satisfying.
Had a trucker like this try and run me off the road when I was in my momās Fiat. Was terrifying.
Theyāre literally playing cat and mouse
If that happens, immediately call 911 and report their plate and all other identidying info. Every truck has to have their DOT number on the side.
After that, call their employer and tell them everything.
McDonald's is going to be pissed that their beef delivery is late!
Karma served well on a truck platter
What is wrong with him!! It's hazardous, hope he's off the road permanently
Nice set up!
SIR, YOU CAN'T PARK THERE
This is a typical truck with Quebec plates.
did he get beat up afterwards?
Damn lunatic
I would have stopped and pissed on the guyās head.
Iirc this guy was drunk and arrested afterwards
Second truck was Optimus prime?
I donāt understand this sport.
r/eventualkarma
Very skilled dodge
Why like wtf they doing that for
