Dumbest questions you have been asked at a truck stop

@Flashdrive7 ....lol...maybe you looked out of place...

Or you were a cousin to the cashier, so letting REAL customers go by

Or he thought you were waiting to rob the place...so he can be outa there before SHTF...lol

 

A slight veer if topic, but a question nonetheless.

Was at a small stop outside DFW, TX. Get a knock on the door from a Liz. "Looking for any company", she asks.
"Nope"
10 mins later, same Liz, same question.
Within the next half hour she was there a 3rd time.
"you've already been here twice" I say. "the answer is still no".
"Can I get 10.00 to get something to eat then" she asked. "I promise I won't bug you again". It was clear that it wasn't for food, unless you can smoke or inject cheeseburgers now (visible track marks).
I could have told her off... But I figured she would just be back at some point. I doubt she was retaining much.
I could've called the cops... But that didn't seem like a good idea for a number of reasons.
I sure as hell wasn't giving her 10 bucks, but I wanted her to remember to avoid my truck.
The negotiation began...

The final sale...1.25 in quarters for a hand written note by her that read "he already gave you money", which I put on the drivers window.
There was peace for the remainder of the evening.
She did take my pen though...

 

"Hey man im in training and dont get paid till next week. Can you buy me a slice of pizza? I spent the last 8 bucks i had on some smokes." My answer, "eat the cigarettes, you seem to enjoy the taste of the smoke".

 

about ran over a lady coming into a T/S,then met up with her and the husband inside.
she rants about us drivers taking up the whole driveway,( the truck entrance she was trying use for an exit,) and the finale was.."why do you have to buy something that big to ride around in all day"?!!
I looked at the guy like, "is she for real"? and he shrugs but says nothing.
I start laughing as I was rather speechless and walked away shaking my head.

 

That sounds like a buddy at another kind of job I once had. He was an easy going young guy from Armenia. He told us he was at a surplus store asking for a ski mask. The clerk asked him why he wanted it. My friend looked at him for a second then replied "I work outside and at night. It's cold"

 

Actually, I generally get mistook for a cop (I can't imagine why) but if I was going to rob a place, it wouldn't be the Flying J LOL.

 

My mother-in-law can be a little "blonde" at times. We were riding down the road and came up behind one of those Pilot tankers trucks that have the big "coffee" advertisement signs on the back of the tank. She ask what they haul in those trucks. I told her that's what they deliver the coffee in to all the Pilots. I think she bought it.

 

To quote a few lady friends, You're mean! Lol

 

You really should not pick on the unarmed.

My youngest is a lot like me in the ######## department. He was having trouble with a kid at school, not the fist swinging kind, so I told him to tell the kid he refuses to have a battle of wits with someone that is unarmed. That may change it into a fist swinging kind of trouble but as long as he does not take the first swing I told him to finish whatever gets started.

 

I had that happened, And fired back with if you were any good at all you too would be issued something this big instead of those crappy toy cars.

She blew up. I rolled out.

In a McDonalds near Reading PA I was parked in the rear under the shade taking up 20 or so spots at 6 AM peacefully eating breakfast. Parking Lot has like two more sides to the building with room for 100 cars seems like. Two of us, me, manager and cook was all there was that monday AM.

This lady comes in.

Says to me that your truck? Shoving her belly into the personal space. I blew up, threw the wad of keys down and say YOU move the #### thing if you want your precious spot. She turned red, then purple and towards what I think is a touch of blue and white if it was possible. Manager spent some time calming her down.

It would have been interesting to see her try to move it because I had the glad hands switched... and the fuel turned off under the seat.
