    I would agree,Except someone would have that on video and you’d be arrested for some kinda threatening

    It’s the Cascadia life attitude that has infected the industry.

    I stand corrected…. It’s infected the whole country

    Well that where you have to be discrete when you talk to him you just simple tell him in a very calm cool demeanor .
    When you scream & yell you attract unwanted attention

    I was always taught to mind my own business and roll on. It worked pretty good for me.

    Sure, of course. But confronting someone that is thoughtless enough to block the fuel island or wash his 5th wheel with a squeegee generally is a really bad idea. I've knocked on a few doors before, but I was never confrontational about it. Mostly like, "Hey man. Would you mind pulling up?"

    Were there no overflowing garbage cans or trash in the lot you could take photos of and post on the internet?

    I know what you mean here but, isn't that attitude how we ended up here. I'm just as much at fault for it as anybody who takes that path. It's called the path of least resistance. Now, I chose this path because I tried blowing the horn, yelling to pull up, etc. Nothing works. Watch Bonehead Truckers. These inconsiderate truckers don't care. There have been some very aggressive tactics to shame, threaten, or scare them into moving, and they just don't give a !@#$ Now, with that said, for all the REAL MEN still left in the U.S. with more courage than me to take a physical stand against these Fuel Island Blockers, Thank You. As you are not only helping yourself get on with your day faster, you just helped everyone behind you too.

    Truck stops and Wal-mart are the best places to find proof of this.

    Helps if you can avoid the big chain truck stops. I try to most of the time.
