    *blinks* i just got asked "how much honey" at the TA in Willcox. The guy thought I was a hooker.


    And I thought I looked so nice today. I may cry over this

    Thou shalt not drop the hot dogs tongs on the floor and pick it up and put it back like nothing happened. (You'd be surprised how many times I seen this, lol) Next time you'll think twice. :)

    Thou shalt not think you are still in Mexico when taking a crap. We have sewer systems here. :)

    Thou shalt not ask for money for gas, then drive to the next truck. :)

    Thou shalt not wash your hands and then go to the bathroom. Get the order right :)

    Thou shalt not take a bath in the bathroom sink like a bird. I will give you a shower coupon. :)

    Thou shall understand signs, No Parking means No Parking. It's a No Brainer! :)

    Thou shalt not use a pen to punch the keys at a fuel island!

    Thou shalt not use the window squeegee to wash your already ugly truck. Then we could actually clean our windows easily.

    It's a never ending list!

    I swear... I will bump this post until I either die, or I am kicked off of this forum. THIS is GOLD. If I could make little signs and attach them on every wall, in every shower, on every light post in every truck stop in the country, I would do it.

    I bow down to your insight and holiness.

    Thou shalt not stand so close to the person in line ahead of you that the person feels like you are trying to feed your disgusting hotdog to him or her.

    Thou shalt not spray your conversation all over the person you are talking to because a year ago you didn't have the foresight to pack a toothbrush and now the idea is moot.

    Thou shalt keep thy body parts and undergarments covered by exterior clothing at all times when in view of the public.

    If a nude sleeper, thou shalt cover thy windows so others aren't placed in an awkward position of wondering which smile is greeting them from thy truck.

    Thou shalt make every attempt at minding thine own business when someone neglects to cover their windows and under no circumstances go out of thy way to attempt to look.

    I'm not holy, far from it. just human. Been called some ugly things too, some of which I probably deserved. :biggrin_2559: But I consider truckstops a busy place, and everyone is in a hurry just like I am. therefore I make an attempt to treat others as I would like to be treated.
