Lot Lizards and Other Riff-Raff

Don't leave your dome light on, either. I've been out here 10 months and had it happen once when I woke up too early to leave. Was in the truck with the dome light on playing on the laptop and got the knock.

As far as the thumper, who cares? It's a tool I use for my job, just like the steering windshield wipers. I actually use a hammer to thump my tires. I also carry my pocket knife--real small, but uses razor blades. Been patted down before and they were unable to find it, but I've also been bleeding before and wondered what happened.

 

I've noticed that they aren't as bad as they used to be even within the short time I was truckin.

I was going to school through NAU online and we were in LA at the TA West and I was in the driver's seat with the laptop on the steering wheel and a driver pulled in next to us (hubby was in the bunk)) and the other driver thought I was a lizards. Sorry buddy...I have all my teeth and I don't smell like 15 day old garbage in the middle of the desert.

I've been asked. If they would knock on the truck and the hubby would get up and say no thanks and if they would keep coming back then I would get up. I wasn't nice about it. They got me out of bed. I'd never punch one without putting a glove on first. Never know where they've been.

 

Then I guess it's just coincidence. I do know that's the only time they've knocked while I was awake. Perhaps they just know us Roehl drivers are going broke. Or maybe it's because I have the condo and they think I'm a trainer/team.

 

I must say, My hubby and I have never had one knock on our doors, I make sure I am seen when we're pulling into a truckstop. And if they look at me, I give em that "look" LOL If ya know what I mean. Dont even think about it. The only problems we have had with brave people gettin up on our steps, is an addict lookin for a hand out, or other people selling trinkets of some sort. My advice to you would be, NEVER roll your window all the way down, to talk to anyone you dont know. Keep your doors locked at all times. Just use common sense out there and you'll be fine. It's always better to be over cautious, than to be sorry for not being cautious later.

 

I've decided to hand out religious tracts. I'm going to do the lot lizards just like the people (persistent religious groups) who come knocking on my front door. Hand them a tract and tell them Jesus loves them, most the time they all but race down the sidewalk.

 

You are not right! Man! That's just plain sick... if it works for ya then well, who am I to say. I just tell them to go away and that I am sick...
