If you hear squeaking winches when your trying to sleep you'll know who it was.

Better than your load falling on me.

You know, I talk a lot of crap about parking next to guys with my reefer but I'm only parked in the same truck stop once every four days and I'm always bobtail or empty lol.

Are people really that stupid to not think or do they just not care?

To me, dropping that reefer next to someone trying to sleep was the ultimate in rudeness

Kids these days, in between their pumping off all the time and text messaging. They have lost all common sense. Anyhoo, since I'm here on the fuel island. Might as well go take a shower, see ya!

Would it be worth an investment for some BOSE Noise Cancelling Head Phones?

I would think so but its just soooo much easier supposedly, for the whiney crowd to just expect everyone that's doing something they don't like to adjust what they are doing so the whiner doesn't have to.

Gee, talk about being discourteous, huh?

People are just supposed to drop what they're doing because it bothers someone? Hmmm......

It's funny how the one doing the whining feels that they deserve preference.

The idling guy even managed to park between me and an O/S load that was quiet...2 for the price of 1.

You claim to have driven long enough to remember a time when drivers were courteous to each other, have all the toads and self absorbed whiners converted you?

I will generally look for two parked trucks to park between... minimal risk of getting backed into...

Or pulling kingpin latch. I check both every day before I roll.
