In the social group of heavy truck drivers, who spend half their lives behind the wheel of a car, rituals and behavioral algorithms have developed over time that
One of the typical long-distance pranks is placing children’s soft toys under the windshield of their car and on the radiator grille of a tractor. In the first case, the rational grain in such installations is quite easy to find. Many of the professional drivers have families and children. Being away from their loved ones, men are bored. Children’s toys are a piece of home and family that a truck driver takes with him on the road. Sometimes you see a cuddly toy dangling under the windshield. In a similar way, the cabin of their car is decorated by drivers who believe that the “pendant” that jumps due to vibration while driving helps to fall asleep while driving.
But with teddy bear bunnies and plastic dolls stuck on the radiator grille of a heavy truck, everything is much more bizarre. It is believed that this craze first appeared in Russia at the end of the last century – together with the children’s film Toy Story. It was there that the style of American garbage truck drivers, attaching toy animals and dolls from the garbage to the radiators of their “trucks”, really “enlightened” en masse.
There are several versions of the original meaning of such a representation. The first says this is a stupid demonstration of a found trophy. It’s a shame to leave it in the trash, but it’s also impossible to use it for its intended purpose. The second explanation reflects the strange (if not more extreme) Christian witchcraft beliefs of Hispanics.
Something from the series of their annual celebration of the “Day of the Dead” or the performance of other creepy and depressing rituals and ceremonies involving bones, skulls, dead animals, etc.
Next, it should be said that the toy “on the bow” of the car that emits a specific amber means that the joker driver considers it a “latrine figure” in the bow of old sailing ships. After all, the members of their crew at that time went to her for physiological needs – on a rope net stretched on the bow of the ship above the water. The smell coming from there was also very appropriate. Especially after quite a long journey on calm seas.
And finally, there is a version in which a soft toy on the “face” of a car, the first to encounter dust, dirt, rain and other adversities, plays the role of a kind of protective talisman, which averts all kinds of troubles to the car and its driver. It is unlikely that the majority of Russian truck drivers associate their car with a garbage truck or an old ship robbed by sailors. In our country, the attitude towards a doll or soft toy has taken root as a talisman. Especially at the end of the last and the beginning of this century, the work of a heavy truck driver was accompanied by many risks and unexpected problems. Since then, ‘protective totems’ have taken up residence on the radiators of some tractors.
