I really enjoyed reading all 300 some replies to the funniest stuff you ever did or see a rookie do. I noticed it was mostly stories from before you became truckers which was ok and even hysterical to me. My favorite was the mechanic who almost changed the tire.
On this post I hope drivers from rookies to old hands will come clean and tell on themselves. I'll start off with a couple examples. I pulled a dry van for six months when I got started in '93 before switching to flatbed. I couldn't understand why the receiver was laughing and calling others over to "look at this" before he broke my seal. I had sealed the two links of chain hanging down from each door (the ones used to hold your doors open).
Or this one, My last winter up on Donner I got on the CB before jumping out to chain up and asked, "Say, if I was to stand outside my truck naked, would one of you drivers chain up for me?" This old hand came back, "Well, that depends darlin. How old are you?" "I'm pretty old." "Well, you're gonna get pretty cold."
Funny stuff you did as a trucker, it's ok to tell

ok you got me--I usually am very professional when I'm on the road--well as much as an old wore out biker/trucker can be! LMAO
But once upon a time--Kingman on I40 east(Andy Devine--where the J is) as you come off the ramp there is a golf course just off the interstate--just before the bottom of ramp is a green--and and old guy(wayyyy older than me) was getting ready to putt---dressed in this lime green outfit looked like one of those reflector vests. Couldn't help it--all four on top of pete(figured train horns would put him in cardiac arrest!)Ol #######--just tapped the ball--and as he made the putt--in one fluid motion swung around and flipped me off! It was a thing of beauty--almost wanted to stop and buy him a beer--still lmfao about that!

Heres one of my rookie brain farts. Mytruck was runnin crappy and was talking to someone about it, My now ex was standing right there. The person I was talking to nonchalantly asked me if I checked the spark plugs lately. I innocently replied, Maybe I better go do that. My poor ex stood there dyin, trying not to laugh. They kept me goin about it for a few minutes.
