    I banged and banged......(I was at the Petro, X178 I81 Wilkes Barre PA) finally the late night on duty wrench stood there and tapped on the glass constant for 30 minutes, the guy finally answered, pissed off that "WE" woke "HIM" up. Refused to move (at first), the local LE came and gave him the motivation he so deserved......mean while I was 1 1/2 hour late starting the day....made my appt with 45 minutes to spare!

    needless to say I was madder than he@#!!! Not only is it rude, stupid and inconsiderate........turns out you can be cited for it :biggrin_25522:

    Call the tow truck company to come move him. Use the pay phone or one of those terrorist trac phones so they don't know it's you calling.

    Keep yelling, "That gas hauler is on fire!" They won't bother to look around first before they high tail out of there.

    I didn't sign the citation so I do not know......maybe being a goofball???

    At the T/A in Denton TX the cite folks for double parking all the time.....as well as call the wrecker in the extreme cases. They seem to go over the top with their enforcement of the "no parking area" policy.

    I always find knocking my fubar against their tanks gets their attention:biggrin_2558:



    A buddy of mine that runs NYC alot and is @ the Lombardi carries a two gallon gas can with water in it. Sure gets their attention when he starts ti pour it on their hood. Said he doesn't do it anymore because it could be called a terroristic threat.
