    You think that's bad, I pulled behind one and got trapped in. After fueling I sat there about 10 minutes. I then went in and got my receipt. I even went to the bathroom and got a drink. After I come back out they were still there. I had the clerk page them but nothing. Finally the lane beside me opened and the guy behind me took it and I was able to back up. Just as I was leaving I seen a man and woman coming out with shower bags and wet hair walk to that truck and get in. I've heard drivers joking a million times before but that was the first time I actually seen someone so rude as to do that. It makes you want to take them behind the woodshed and slap the stupid out of them. :)


    Sounded like Cookie Monster! :biggrin_2559:

    How about the guys that take a great 10 hr break at the pump?
    Curtains drawn and all, and the truck idling. Yeesh!

    Was getting quick food the other day after fueling and pulling up.
    Manager comes in asking around for the driver next lane over.
    He was sitting there eating a leisurely lunch.
    The mgr tore him a new hole!

    If I can spot a parking spot from the fuel island, I'll park before going inside for restroom, fuel desk, etc. Will do most anything to keep from blocking fuel island.

    Had she pullled complety forward in the pay lane, i could of gotton pased by her, but she didn't pull forward all the way. Take out the fuel pump on the left with the tandems, or damage my trailer on the right side.

    Did i mention that she called my company on me?
    I got a phone call the following Monday from my office, wanting to know my side . So i explained it, and they backed me up completly.

    The lack of courtesy and/or sense of professionalism is growing at an unbelievable rate. I know I would not have been as calm.
