Yep, I Don flipped todayI was sitting in my truck, trying to get ready to get some sleep. And lo a behold Mr. Imma back into your truck today shows up. Knowing good and well that truck and trailer was not, going to get in this tight space without knocking something off. He sets up and begins the process of extracting the passenger mirror off of the side of the truck. I blow the horn, he continues to back up. So, I move my truck out of the way and what do I get in return flipped off and #### talked. Well, that is when I flipped out just a tad bit. Ya know, it was already one of them days where it has gone to hell in a hand basket and this ain't helping. I can't be the only one who has gone through this. Share ya stories, I need a laugh
I got backed into, and it got heated.

I bought the ACME Neutronic Plasma Shield (from ACME Corporation in Walla Walla, WA) a few years ago, and now sleep like a baby while parked in truck stops. No external objects can penetrate the shield so, no worries. I don't even hesitate parking on the end next to a narrow aisle. But it drains the batteries quick and I have to run the APU full time to keep it activated. It also confuses some drivers because of it's tendency to create a hologram effect on hot days.
ACME has all sorts of neat stuff. Much better than Sharper Image

The guy that took off my mirror hopped out lifting his arms at me like "WHAT DID YOU DO!?"
Luckily it was at the receiver and I just pointed at the security camera. Got his info and he handed me his phone so his boss could ask me to settle under the table. I said I'd be happy to but it's up to my company, haha. Jackoff's.Lepton1, Grubby, passingthru69 and 1 other person Thank this. -
We pulled into I think the TA in the old exit three in western PA off 80. Then we parked neatly together in front of the beautiful tire counter.
Morning! Morning! What can we do for you today?
Got a flat.
Ok. Where is the flat?
On the truck with the flat.
Hmm... P A U S E... ok... what kind of tire?
Round, and black.
Erf... P A U S E... thinks carefully.
Who has the flat.
Well, it depends. The flat is on the one with the flat you see...
And it went downhill from there. It took about 200 miles or so before the tears of laugher stopped flowing.Grubby, rolls canardly, tucker and 5 others Thank this. -

I was sleeping in the Ontario, Ca TA when I felt bang! Then, bang! And before I could get out ... Bang!!! Wtf??? He tried to back into the space next to me and hit me 3 times before he even cared enough to get out and look... the passenger side of my truck looked like an accordion! Smooooossshhhh! Steps all gone, as well... ughhhhhhhhh! I ended up using girlie repair supplies( duct tape and zip ties with 4 bungee cords ) to strap it all together until I could get to our Laredo yard a few weeks later to get it repaired.. those 3 weeks Sucked! All you guys kept teasing me about how girls can't drive without tearing up our equipment! I needed one of those huge bandaids to put on over there with a huge sign that said:" Swift driver with 1 month experience did this to me: and he was male!" Thank the good Lord, I have a dash cam that caught the whole thing on camera....
