    There are two different kinds of "retarded". There are people who are mentally retarded, I know it's not a PC term to use. Don't get me wrong, People who are mentally afflicted can be awesome folks. I've known a few of them in the past and they can be really great hard working individuals.

    There are also people who are just ####ing retarded. I see them everyday in the trade of truck driving, people who text and drive, tailgaters et al.

    i also see people who do retarded jobs of parking their trucks as well.

    here's a pic of a truck (not a wide load) the driver of which decided to park whilst straddling over two ( yes as in "2") parking spots.

    I think he was afraid walmart and the flatbed driver would ding up that pretty truck of his...:biggrin_25523:

    You should've been at the Pilot in Jacksonville, Ga this morning... A swift driver took is 30 minute. Not only was he in front of the fuel islands blocking the lane, he was also blocking 2 other lanes with the way he'd decided to pull forward. I wished I had gotten pictures but I was trying to get out of there!

    Thats the night shift driver there!
    Ive pulled into truck stops a few times at night, took the only spot left, woke up to everybody givin me the stink eye cause all the trucks left and left me sitting out of alignment.
    Worst learning exp was in Texas in the early 90's. Tired as heck and found a cafe with a huge empty dirt lot. Parked the truck, passed out, woke up to the most awful smell and flies everywhere. Took a peek out the sleeper curtain and found I was surrounded by Bull haulers. I had found a Cattle rest/water stop, lol. I was the only fool sitting out there in a truck, I bet them drivers in the cafe got a good laugh!

    Try again. It didn't post. :(

    And I've parked next to one of those haulers before... I will not say what I did to get away from that smell. You never know when DOT may be lurking... :lurk:
