    this one took preparation:

    got REAL friendly with some of the folks at Truck World back in the day. for all you Nubes out there, a shower list was just that, a list. would put your name on it and wait to be called over PA system, go get your key, and off you'd go. well, to get an evil back on my friend (who got me with the shaving cream bomb), I bribed the shower attendant to put Keith in a particular shower. I got in there before him, unscrewed the shower head, and put 2 jolly rancher candies in there. Screwed the head back on and waited. Ever seen a towel stuck to a grown man? No matter how hard he tried to wash it off, the sugar/syrup kept melting in the hot water and covering him from head to toe

    Years back when I chewed, I always had a spit coffee can on the floor....One way to educate a tailgating 4-wheeler w/o doing a trailer brake check was I would ease a little to the right and slowly dump that can out the window...The slip stream would take it down the side of the wagon and deposit it on the windshield....No more tailgating problem...

    We would do that in my buddies car, although his was a manual, with the hand e-brake! We would put it in neutral, then pull e-brake, then back to neutral, then turn key off, rinse and repeat!!

    That's no BS. I've be runnin & gunnin and got a break in Sioux City and was going to spring for a room, the cheapest was $76 plus tax. Minnesota is worse.

    I'm not sure how some dimwit putting a quarter in a glad hand proves a guy doesn't "know it all". Anytime you are trying to diagnose a mechanical problem, you check things starting with the most likely causes first. And some jerk messing with your equipment by obstructing your airline should, of course, never be on the list of likely causes. If I had a driver do that, he'd be fired right after he paid the company back for an unnecessary service call.

    Just to remind everyone. TTR does NOT in any way endorse or promote this sort of behavior.

    Furthermore, if you are in the habit of provoking people in this manner, you will eventually do it to the wrong driver. If a beatdown is the result, it will garner NO sympathy from me.

    Moral of the story, DON'T mess with another driver's moneymaker.

    Now, as another poster noted, if it's between friends that do it regularly and it doesn't affect the roadworthiness of the truck, no harm no foul I suppose.
