    Get a day job and you won't have to listen to the knocking if you are sleeping in your own bed at home.

    When I get a knock on my door, I first peek to make sure it isn't a cop, then I fling the curtain open and show them the barrel of my .40. Works every time.

    This is one of my biggest pet peeves of this job. I do not answer anyone while I sleep. 99% of the time, it's some dirt ball begging for money. I work very hard for my paycheck, why should I reward you for being a crumb to society and disturbing my good nights sleep?

    Knock...knock...

    Beggar: "Excuse me sir, I am not a lot lizard but I am out of gas and I need a little money to get me home"

    Me: "$%^&* $#%^&*( $%^&**! Every $%^&*() time I stop in New Haven, someone needs fuel. Did they outlaw fuel gauges in Conneticut?"

    Beggar: I'm really out of fuel.

    Me: BS. Last scumbag that used that line on me I told her I wanted to see the fuel gauge myself and it showed 3/4 tank so EFFFF OFFFF."

    That's my biggest problem man.. without good sleep it affects our ability to be safe drivers and these ######## still think it's okay to be ruining drivers sleep throughout the night.
    My phone is turned off, my qualcomm is on zero volume then when some some beggar or hoe wakes me up oh man I want sooo bad to knock them out.

    Any half brained derelict get can a job working flipping burgers or as bagger at a supermarket, problem is people don't want to work.. rather wake up truck drivers for money so they can go do some more drugs.

    Start staying at more peaceful places and you'll be less likely to get woke up.If you stay in a busy area like the Pilot off 20 next to the Werner terminal in Dallas,you can bet you'll get some disease infested herion addict knock on your door
