thou shall utter the words "THANK YOU" after another person/driver extends the smallest of courtesy. Saying T/Y will not make you any less of a human being, nor will you be looked upon as an outcast or made fun of, for being polite.
Saddle Tramp, truckerdave1970, Panhandle flash and 6 others Thank this. -
Thank ye!!!

I'm currently at the Flying J in Russellville AR. I am in a bobtail. At these Js, they have enough room up front to park the bobtails. Well....here there is only 2 of us up front. In the back, I counted 6 taking up 6 WHOLE parking spaces. Here in an hour or 2, this place is gonna be full and there may be 6 drivers with trailers SOL because of the lazy, inconsiderate "steering wheel holders" who are not thinking about the other drivers....
The Challenger, Dave 1960, tech10171968 and 6 others Thank this. -

I pity the poor fools that hit on my wife at truckstops.....She can be meaner than I can!dino6960, GuysLady, The Challenger and 2 others Thank this. -
I wasn't nice.. and before I could finish with the jerk, one of my husband's co-workers came along... in a way, it was good for the jerk. He survived. If Kermit hadn't come along, well, I make no promises.

Thou shall NOT punch out the KIOSK machines.
GuysLady and The Challenger Thank this. -
We were in Houston at the Flyin' J and my wife was havin' her morning coffee and I was sittin' about 20 feet away playin' on my computer when all of the sudden I hear her say....."Oh HELL NO!" I looked up and she's on her feet and says..."#######, You need to get cleaned up and lookin' and smellin' way better than you do just to strike out in my neighborhood!" Then she says..."Do you even OWN a mirror?" and then she says..."Get the #### away from me!"
I was walkin' over there (just in case I needed to save his life) when the poor idiot walked away....So I said, "Oh! I see you've met my wife!"
Gearjammin' Penguin, BigRedBigRig, kajidono and 11 others Thank this. -
The guy who hit on me did it just as I stepped out of my husband's truck... asked me if he could steal a kiss... had his arm blocking my way out..
What he didn't realize was that one of my husband's friends was in the truck right next to us....
After the fool tried to TOUCH me, I stepped on his toes.. and before I could do anything else, Kermit stepped out of his truck, and asked me if the guy was trying to give me problems...
"Oh, I have it under control."
"You mean you don't need me to do this?" (As he slams the guy into the side of the truck.)
"No."
"Or this?" (As he knocked him into the side of the other truck)
"No."
"Oh, okay.. piece of advice buddy, leave the Ladies alone, and steal your kisses from those who would give them to you!"Gearjammin' Penguin, goldwing daddy, The Challenger and 1 other person Thank this.
