Although I don’t excuse the Comcast guys’ attitudes in this clip, I wonder if their defensiveness may have had something to do with working conditions that are imposed on them by the company. (getting dinged if they don’t get it done in an unrealistically short time, or something like that.)

My drivers’ Ed teacher was an idiot. But the one thing he said that always made sense to me is “there is ALWAYS an immovable boulder blocking both lanes of the road just over the crest of the hill” (or just around the bend, or just beyond your headlights...).

For steep climbs in deep-ish snow, chains can’t be beat. They tear the hell out of pavement though, which is why they should only be used at low speeds for short distances, or on unpaved roads, and also why they are illegal in many places. I keep a set with me all winter, even though they are illegal here in Ottawa.…
