    Yeah, if anyone ever calls me while they're taking a sh8t I'm hanging up and blocking their number.
    I don't speak any Middle Eastern or Indian or African languages though so it's probably unlikely to happen.

    I'd still have a flip phone if I didn't start truck driving. Even then I held out for a while. I didn't get a dumb I mean smart phone for a few months. But I had a GPS from day one.

    Okay, we’re on the same schoolyard now. LOLOL

    The SO bought us a pig fart game. Roll the dice, that’s the score to beat. Pig has timer. Pass the dice back and forth. If you have possession and haven’t rolled and beat your number by the time the pig farts. You lose

    Childish maybe. But we’re usually laughing our butts off most of the game.

    I don't mind if you don't have a blue tooth, just don't be one of those a-holes that talk on speaker phone in Spanish or Insert language other than English here while in the stall. Most of the Indian drivers talk on their BT in the crapper as they're wiping their butt with their hand and rinsing it off with the bottle of water they carried in the stall with them. Then they dump the bottle on the floor and leave everything wet.

    You should just be glad they're using an indoor toilet rather than, say, the patch of asphalt directly below your driver door. It's a mighty unpopular appliance in their native land. The majority wouldn't have a toilet in their house even if it were given to them for free.

    Run the I-5 much? lolol

    #### I’ve never seen so many wet floors and clogged toilets in my entire life. Whole #### rolls of tissue paper in the toilets. Water bottles everywhere. Just disgusting filth. Makes you wonder what some people’s homes look like.

    The Rand McNally motor carrier atlas is all I had for years. Plot the route, check the low clearance list and away we go. I've had GPS try to put me in some interesting predicaments, when in doubt, check the map.
