I don’t wanna be branded a keyboard warrior so I’ll keep out of it, but to the op: If you don’t like it, you shouldn’t have ■■■■■■■ joined.

There is a queue, my mother inlaw royally annoys me
I am Verns Manager - £40 a punch and it will be a knock out. £5 extra if you want her to know where it had come from

I’m no psychologist but basically it might boil down to this - drivers are rude because just about everyone they come into contact with has no respect for them and are often rude because that how they think drivers should be addressed. This being the case its no surprise that the only people who listen to drivers are other drivers and as drivers are rude you end up with a vicious circle of rude drivers being rude about topics that no-one cares about but drivers…
All forums have them, they are called trolls.
Hide behind the keyboard syndrome.
Just ignore, or laugh and join in the banter
It’s a forum for truck drivers.
If a truck driver doesn’t understand something, he takes the ■■■■ out of it.
So if a driver is rude to you, just laugh at how stupid he is.

Maybe trucknet is just a mirror of society in general. There are lots of impatient, rude and selfish people in the world. Equally there are some wise, polite and selfless people in the world.
This. ^
Be boring on here if everyone was polite & patient.
If you see moody behaviour, say something, then we’ll all put a round of knuckles in to the bully. 
We’re all truckers and we’re not nice people enough said really!

I’m not sure if you are including me in the “rude” category mate, although I assume that you could be as I was a tad unsympathetic on your lost filler cap post.
It just amazes me some of the bloody stupid things that are asked on here, eg. how much can I break the speed limit without getting caught on a notoriously dangerous road, or how much can I drink without going over the limit and losing my licence and job
,… I mean is it just me or what?
From my point of view I have never been the most tolerant of guys, and never suffered fools gladly, (brought about by age and the amount of time I have suffered this job) especially with some of the licence holders that call themselves “drivers” today that are not fit to be out on their own with a pushbike let alone a 44 tonner, so I hope that is an insight to what you percieve as rudeness from my perspective. So it’s a standing heat and kitchen situation bud
+1 WELL SAID THAT MAN…the questions some ask on here would make you shake your head in disbelief at how much of a tube you would need to be to ask in the 1st place…what happened to the days of heres your keys,your late… nicking an a to z from the services,no satnav,and just getting on with it?
