    There are certain areas that are good for nosing in. If you park in one of these areas you should expect like company.

    Don't go to the donut shop if you don't want to see people buying donuts.

    May I throw "that" into my data base of sayings to entertain-and even MORE importantly- annoy people?:) My Dad is still around and I'm sure he would 'get a kick' outta that one. Maybe even tell it at the doughnut shop.:biggrin_2559:

    Three rivers isnt that bad. The one in Hillsboro was horrible...

    But pretty much every one in Oklahoma is worse than any...OK has like 30 loves, and probably a total of 45 parking spots between them all! lol

    Its not so much the size of 3rivers-it is one of the bigger newer ones--BUT the fact there are probably 1500 or so out of town drivers working the oil fields trying to live there--the fuel islands are never less than 3 deep--both drives are double/triple parked--and all the grass around the t/s has been turned into pkg areas--not to mention all of the grass and fields around the interstate--place is a disaster--and im not even going to touch on the behavior--one of the biggest reasons most all of the quiet friendly towns down there have started putting no truck parking signs up--it really has turned into the wild west thruout the area & I know im not the only driver extremely annoyed by it--im all for finding a way to make a decent living especially in today's economy but there is no excuse for the way most drivers are handling themselves down there!!
    Sorry for the rant
     
    KE5WDP and Hammer166 Thank this.

    Sounds like the truck stop in Dickenson, ND. Same oil workers problem, it's a mess.
