    The one thing that was not mentioned is that he grabbed is CB and asked if anyone was fixing to pull out that would have been the first thing I tried. NOw you mentioned that you parked waiting on a spot and went to subway. Have you ever heard of the saying move your feet loose your seat? If you was that worried about a parking space you would have sit there done some paper work,threw out some trash and waited for a spot.Hate to say it but this is oh so childish. People need to remember that we have to work together in this industry and by the way your going you are going to be very lonely out there broke down somewhere and the only drivers coming by are the ones you have pissed off with your hall way monitoring antics. Have you stopped to think that some of them mistakes might have came on the back of a 11 hour drive through a storm and that the driver might have just found out he lost his pet frog? Best Advice leave the mistakes to the driver and not involve yourself with it until you have drove long enough to live through some of them bone head moves we all have made................

    That 30 minutes you did nothing you could have been down to the flying j 10 miles south in a parking spot. No such thing as staging for a parking spot.

    Who the heck parks in the grass? I'd bury spikes in the grass if I was the manager. Sure wouldn't hurt the tire sales any!

    So I'm to believe that if your parked in the grass or even circling the lot and I pull in and see a parking spot I'm to not take it? Now if your actively trying to park in the spot no I'm not going to slip in. But if your not at the spot when I get there then tough. I ain't moving unless the manager or police come make me. And in your scenario that ain't going to happen. Id probably fall out of my rig laughing when you waved your receipt at me.


    You need to grow up and learn life ain't fair.

    If I was the other driver one of two things would have happened when you came up to my truck. One I would have started speaking rapid fire spanish to get you to go away. If that didn't work I would have just laughed my ### off at you. I would not have moved out of the parking spot. Grow up and quit being such a baby.

    I was in line at Subway, a LONG line, so I went out to wait in my truck for a while, watch some tv. I go back inside later, and they made me stand in the BACK of the line! The nerve of these people.......

    I'm still confused why he left the parking spot in the grass???? Sounds like he had a spot just fine right there to me........ I've done much more with less of a spot :p

    SPOT. I call this spot. Just like in kindergarten calling desks.

    So I guess now if I pull into a TS and see someone parked in a retarded spot I'm to assume that there just "waiting" for a better spot?

    Ummm, sitting here looking at my fuel tickets, I'm not seeing a TIME stamp, but I do see a date.

    Can you advise us the next time you're doing some filming, I'd like to show off my driving skills.
