    Delivered early this morning in Tulsa, then went to FJ nearby... was there for a little over 2 hrs and got load assignment... Rushed to shipper about 15 mins from there... then, got "confused" and stayed in the wrong road... A 40 mins waste of precious time... which I don't have much and trying to save... :biggrin_25523: And running extra 35 miles... :biggrin_25510::biggrin_25510:

    Got upset today... Was parked at FJ in Tulsa... opened my door and it "escaped" from my hand and touched truck next to me... Lady in the truck opens her door and tells me, "Next time, don't park so close so you don't hit a truck when you open your door..." :biggrin_25510: WTF... First of all, those spots are nor very wide, second, I didn't park too close... Anyway, I apologized but told her my door had not hit her truck... just touched it and asked her to come outside and look that there was not even a mark... She didn't get out and just kept repeating, "Please don't hit my truck again..." :biggrin_25510:
    Then she said in a sarcastic voice, "I am sorry you are having problems with your truck..." WHAT?! She over heard some conversation I had with other driver next to me about some problem I had with truck LAST YEAR... That made me REALLY MAD... I should have told her to mind her own business and quit b****** about nothing... But I was "kinda" polite and told her that I had no problem with the truck... that she heard it wrong... And got inside my truck, slammed the door shut and close my curtains... And spoke in a loud voice, What a B****! :biggrin_25510:

    Now I am at a small service plaza on Indian Nation in OK... going to TX.... gotta go to bed right now..
