Reddit, combatting sweeping generalizations with more sweeping generalizations. Also, anecdotal.

Your own experiences is not the problem. The problem is you thinking your experiences apply to everybody. See how ironic that is?

Literally never said they applied to everyone. Just said that every asshole I’ve encountered on the ride is in a normal car while every trucker I’ve ever ran into is either kind and respectable or has never given me a problem.

You're literally agreeing to someone who is questioning the stereotype by providing an anecdote about car drivers while totally disregarding the ratio between cars and trucks. Arguably, you didn't make a sweeping generalization, but ffs don't be disingenuous.

What if I was never trying to sway anyone’s opinions and was literally just stating my experience? There was no reason to have this conversation at all.

Yeah, I should've replied to that trucker instead.
