if you know me....

Hi guys,
I am gonna put this out there for everyone to consider. Most of you know i'm a trucker and am usually driving around paying attention to traffic and my surroundings. Sometimes i'll happen across someone who knows me or recognizes that i'm a furry from my raccoon stickers.... they're very subtle btw... But they'll honk and wave.
Most of the time i'm not able to recognize who it is because I may not remember them, or simply don't know them. Either way, don't get upset if I won't pull over or anything... i'm working and have a job to do and I have to do it safely. I carry over 40000 lbs of hazardous chemicals on any given load and can't just stop on a whim. I have to stay safe for myself and everyone around me.
Someone today seemed to get really mad because they were trying so hard to get my attention and I wouldn't stop for them. I dunno who they were as I was in a construction zone and was more intent on not hitting anything than figuring out who was waving at me like a crazy person. But the paws on the bumper and all over the back of the car kinda told me they were furs from somewhere.
If that was any of you i'm sorry and it's not personal, but I have a job to do and can't take chances of getting into a wreck to be friendly. I'll wave back but thats about all I can do. sorry guys!
