    I frequent the big box truck stops so I can count on getting showered before I start my 14. I'm a real b1ych if I don't get my shower.

    It's called common courtesy, especially if other drivers are waiting and you're in Arby's eating.

    I mean you knew there was a line. I don't think you should take it personal though. How does she know how long you are going to take to finish your meal? And you don't think there has been an inconsiderate driver before who did take the key and go take 20 minutes to finish a meal? All she knows is there is a stacked line of people waiting for a shower and you went back to finish your meal. And in the end you kept the key and shower right? So who cares?

    Sweats make me......sweat. So yeah, standard attire in the summer is shorts. Usually flip flops if it's a normal day of just driving, but I'll wear shoes if I have a pickup or delivery that requires me to stand on the dock.
    My feet sweat really bad, and baby wipes just won't kill that scent.... So, I choose to prevent.

    I would have waited till after shower to eat.Even with a line of drivers waiting to shower I've never had to wait that long.

    Its called being courteous to your fellow drivers, the fact that you have to ask if its a big deal shows that you don't give a #### about any one other than yourself and that is what makes it miserable for others

    Just what kind of "Advice" are you looking for from this "Experienced Driver"?

    My advice would be to go directly to the shower once your number is called....anything else you got going on is not my problem, and you don't need to make it my problem.
     
    bigguns, ChaoSS, noluck and 1 other person Thank this.
