Seriously, have you had a B757 turn their supposed "taxi" light on while pointed right at you and taking the runway?
Show a little courtesy and common sense and you'll get exactly the same thing in return. Don't tell me that some of these DLA B757 guys are so clueless as to not realize how bright their taxi lights are especially in the above mentioned scenario
The fact that you retaliate by flashing your own bright lights at someone who is taking the runway for takeoff makes you both imbeciles instead of just one of you...
Have some courtesy and consideration for the people sitting behind that dummy 757 driver. For their sake, try not to distract the guys who are about to cowboy them up into the atmosphere, and whom their lives depend on...
