Pet peeves:
Stand in line 20 minutes to pay for a cup of coffee,
Then when you almost made it to the cashier,the
Clown ahead of you needs to cash a com check.
And there's always a problem with it going thru.
Dirty nasty feet guy:
Wears sandals with white socks that are now
Black from all the dirt. It's disgusting.
Fat slob guy:
So overweight and out of shape he can't
Stand up at the counter.
He has to lean over on the counter while
Paying for his stuff.
Giving everybody behind him a clear view
Of his nasty butt crack because his pants can't
Cover his whole butt.
We've all seen him.
Coffee crook guy:
Fills up 4 large coffee mugs at one time,
Leaving everybody else to have to wait for
More to be made.
Then gets angry that they charged him 2 bucks
For a gallon of coffee.
Hollers at the cashier on the way out the door
Vowing to never come back.Muddydog79, Justrucking2, OLDSKOOLERnWV and 1 other person Thank this. -

Forget that. Here in Texas if you stand back a minute say 15 feet and don't move for a minute or two, a bunch of birds will feast on the bugs all over your radiator and windshield glass. They know it's really yum yum din din time to get it before you do get out the squeeze. sometimes I'll see a bunch of them lined along a fence by the road, I'll pull over, slow idle a bit and they will clear the bugs off me right quick. It don't take much. IF I keep doing this in the same spots on my run roughly the same time passing there, I'll keep stopping. They will know it's dinner time. So when you do get to the fuel stop, it's not going to be all that bad.
I used to carry my own water find a hose somewhere and hit the old bug fluid containers with hose water. Store that. Carried my own squeeze inside a plastic bag. And some sort of soap. It dont't take much to dump the truckstop container, stick a hose in that. Squirt some soap into it while waiting for the fuel tanks to fill. If it helps you and the next 10 truckers behind you who pull in then all will be well.
Once in a while I'll hit a skeeter this big down here in the south. They would hold enough blood to cover half the drivers pane of the entire windsheid. You pull over and hit it with the soap and throw away towel and get it off there before it has a chance to clot on your glass. I do not like those very much. The really big ones. People laugh thinking Ive gone senile trying to describe jumunji or something. -
1) Drivers that move the cone/trashcan indicating the fuel lane is not working pull through then dont put it back. The next guy comes along whos in a hurry and pulls up to fuel and finds the card reader not working!
2) Bobtails and cars (yes cars!) in truck parking spots.
3) People that dont shut off their headlights when in a truckstop.Trucker61016 and Justrucking2 Thank this. -
Brush your teeth in your rig? I always carry a case or two of water for emergencies.
Use a bottle to dip your brush in and another to rinse. I did this for a year when I was otr.
They also make these things called wisps. Toothbrush with a ball of paste at the end that actives when you bite/mix with saliva.
The rule is if you can smell it you can taste it. Not to mention all the dirty people who never wash their hands not that's on your brush. Close to your mouth.Trucker61016 Thanks this. -
Ran into one of those guys couple months ago. Bad enough the way it was..... then he blocked one side of his nose and blew the other side into the sink, then switched sides. It takes all kinds I guess, I can only imagine what they do at home. Just nasty!!

The jerks that walk into a men’s room, twenty urinals on a wall with privacy barriers so you can’t see the other guys junk... And where do they go? To one of the two toilet stalls... They don’t lift the seat, and proceed to golden shower everything within reach. They normally wear silly looking gym shoes or shower shoes with socks or sandals. Many also wear track suits and skinny jeans, and they rarely speak English.
A very disgusting group of uncivilized savages.Trucker61016, OLDSKOOLERnWV and Oldironfan Thank this. -
