Traffic backup caused by Explorer
I actually felt bad for the dude. The Explorer looked brand new but as this guy went to change lanes while pulling a big camper, the darn Explorer died on him. There he was blocking three lanes out of four with his hood up in the hot sun. People were yelling stuff at him and certain hand gestures were being made – poor guy. Any other vehicle we could have helped him push to the side but not that big old Explorer and a huge drive-a-house. Ended up causing a five-mile backup before it got moved. If I was him, I'd be contacting the dealership where I bought it and going off on them.

Where and when did this
Where and when did this happen?
People can be really insensitive. I bet they wouldn't like it if the same thing were to happen to them, so they shouldn't have made it any harder on the guy than what it already was. I mean really, what does it take to have a bit of empathy and maybe offer some assistance, instead of being rude and hostile?
I fully understand as my
I fully understand as my dad was once in that same issue, I was a teen and we were going away for a camping trip. I could not believe some of the things people said to us then and I was a young teen. I wonder if these people realize it could have happened to anyone?
People are just mean
People are just mean anymore these days. They never stop to consider that not only are they being inconvienced but so is the one whose vehicle is messed up. Do they really think that the person whose vehicle is broke down is doing this for laughs?
Now that really stinks. It
Now that really stinks. It always makes me a mite worried to tow something, even if its a brand new truck and trailer as Murphy's Law never seems to take a vacation just because I do. I really hope if it was an issue with a vehicle under warranty he got it taken care of.
