    Apparently you handled it well and all worked out. I think what some of the posters are conveying is that a duplicate situation might turn out badly for both parties, one dead and other prison. You never know the reactions of people today, from reasonable acquiesce to top end temper. Consider the odds.

    Oh I thoroughly understand that. I’ve lived between DC and Baltimore my whole life. This is what I’ve grown up with. You definitely have to be able to read the signs that something is about to go wrong. I stay well protected but luckily in my entire 51 years I’ve never let it get to that point. I certainly don’t want to be dead or in jail. That being said people need to be called on their BS. I didn’t pay $150k for a truck and then $50 on a wash just to have someone splash piss on it less than 10 hours later.

    I agree. Trust everyone, but cut the cards twice. Take chances. When things are in your favor. There are people who will smile and squeeze a trigger simultaneously, and grin as you fall. We meet all kinds these days.

    I get being upset about having piss on your truck but at the same time with all the road kill and literal #### on the highways........

    I dislike the pee #### slop soup the parking lots gather when the snow starts to melt from all the trucks idling......I wear waterproof boot covers in the winter....

    The only thing any of us should be pouring out the window etc is water. And only if it’s not going to splash your neighbors truck. I use water to rinse my coffee pot out each morning and pour it out.

    Is it really that hard to walk to the grass and dump your liquids? Keeps you from tracking it back in to your truck.

    Water is water. Most don’t have issues with water. You know…it does rain sometimes. Just sayin. Part of the problem is if you’re dumping liquids outside your window, other drivers don’t know what it is and they assume it’s urine. Lol

    Once in a while I think how different our society would be if children are spanked, teenagers and adults are locked in stocks on the courthouse lawn and people can "talk to them." And hangings are public. It would have a positive impact I'm thinking.

    The not house trained trucker would probably have urine poured on him while in those stocks.

    Ah, well, just a dream.
