Had a guy try to get a free shower on me today.

i have given out showers and been given showers
fed a couple guys
but never handed out money

 

I was given a shower at loves when I got to the counter and learned mine had fallen off. The other driver said he was going home so he wasn't going to be using it anyway. I've also given 2 showers away when I've gotten through the terminal enough to shower that I wasn't going to use all of mine.

 

i have had complete strangers give me their showers

i have seen folks get rejected (they ran out of showers) or they were needy, and i give them one of mine

its one of the few nice things we CAN do for each other and complete strangers

 

I was checking my showers on a kiosk one time.....darn,no shower....took 10.00 out to put in the machine......and guy behind me said"whoa hold on there driver,you don't need to do that!".....turned and looked and a nice older driver told me here let me get u a shower because he was going home and didn't want to let them expire,hehe....it was nice....so since then...I do the same if ever.....but I would say....don't ask someone for it...just accept the kindness when its offered....

 

I've done the same... many times I'll have a few showers on my card, so it's not a big deal to give a shower credit to someone who needs one.

 

Giving a shower credit to a trucker is not like a hand out of cash or food. Shower credits expire and have no cash value (to the credit holder). If you have extras and will expire before you will have a chance to use it, give one out. If you need one, get on the CB and politely ask.

 

Places usually give "team", 2 showers for the price of one. Maybe that's what he was looking for.

 

Got a TA /Petro Platinum card. Shower credits don't expire and they build up. I keep 10 showers all the time. Quite a few trucking companies will have showers at heir terminals, which may be cleaned only once a day. There are quite a few company drivers who want a clean shower and so they will go to the truck stops even though they don't have any credits. If they ask for a shower, I will get them a shower. It's better to do that than see some driver hogging a sink.

Ever eaten something that didn't agree with you? First warning of the mudslide is a rumble from the center of the earth.

"rrrruuuummmmbbbblllleeee"

Uhoh, yellow alert. Find the porcelain throne. Hmmm, no wait for showers. This one may prove to be violent, so the shower may be better cuz you need privacy just in case you have to do the death grip. Hit the kiosk, grab your ticket, walking to the restroom. The intensity builds...

"Rrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmbbbbbbbbbblllllllllleeeeeee"

Hurry dude. You can make it, wow, thatis a nice looking girl. She's smiling at me, I think I will go....and...talk to her....argh!

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLL"

15 feet away, I shall seek salvation from the porcelain god. Ugh, I am feeling weak.

( then the mudslide starts. Feels like half a mountain started sliding.)

Red alert, full panic mode. Why can't I open the door? What's wrong with my belt? Wardrobe malfunction! Nice shower.

(somehow, you make it on the throne)
"K-A-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM"

(Toilet seat cracks and the back of your shirt blows upward. You feel relief for about 15 seconds and then the pressure builds again. This time, you're ready. You perform the Death Grip. What is the Death Grip? It's that ritual thing you do when the mudslide is serious. Larry the Cable Guy said he uses the handicap stall because it gives him leverage to power push.)

DeathGrip initiated. We are locked in. The planets have aligned. We shall exorcise the demon. Lock and load, prepare to fire. Fire at will.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!"

Better than sex. Feel 10 lbs lighter. Since you're in the shower, you can do a gravity feed. It's the only time you are truly free.
