    Some people just don't care and show absolutely NO RESPECT for the other drivers.I had a similar problem awhile back.Nothing like ruining your entire day.

    I'm thinking most (if not all) of those hoses on the fuel island dispense non-potable water. But I guess doing your dishes is OK.....

    I hear you driver. All this reminded me of another time a spanish fella was brushing his teeth next to me. When he was finished he put his finger to block off one nostril and proceeded to blow out the contents of the other into the sink, then switch and repeat. As gross as it was the worst thing was that he didn't bother to rinse out the sink when he was finished.

    In a nice restaurant the other day, a couple sits down opposite me at a table with the stationary back on one side and chairs on the other side ( a table to seat 4 people). They're sitting against the stationary backing and he puts his BARE feet on the chair opposite him and is slouching down waiting for their order. He's a middle aged clean cut guy and I'm looking at his bare feet thinking what I should do about it since I always give my opinion to idiots like him. However my girlfriend stopped me in my tracks and it was a wise decision because I would go from a choice remark to a knuckle sandwich instantly.

    Why would it not be potable , tyed into same water source as the rest of the outlets at the truckstop , and if not potable should have a sign noting that is not for CONSUMPTION .
