Well...
Some of the t/s smell pretty bad, but I'm getting used to it I guess. What really burns me up of late is that when I get up in the morning to do my walk around, I find that someone has nicely deposited their pee bottle or a nasty bag of trash right by my drive tires, so it looks like I threw the junk out. I carry a pair of thick rubber gloves in my truck for just such occasions.

Thats nothing. One night at a truck stop in Ohio, I woke up when something "rocked" my trailer. Getting up to look to be sure no one hit me, I saw a guy squatting over one of my trailer rims. It seems he "fell" and sat in it because the next morning I found his underwear next to his nasty pile.

I know where it was, it was the Petro in Bordentown, NJ. I'll never go there again.

Trash all over.

The stench of piss in the parking lot.

Lot lizards that were so bad they were walking the Iron Skillets floor looking for dates while drivers were eating.

I like stopping with a load of fresh beef in combos. Stopped at the hook in OKC earlier this week. Parked uphill and when I left there was a trail of blood and water about a foot wide and maybe 10 foot long. Just wait till that heats up good.

Two things:

Do they really make the waitress clean up the bathroom?

If so do they/you wash there/your hands when your done cleaning?

Um... just ask the person who works in "Maintenance", at your local Walmart, which gender is the culprit when it comes to peeing in the trashcan/floor of the fitting room. I'll give you a hint... it starts with an F and ends with EMALE.
