    I considered parking so close to his driver's side door that he could only get in on the passenger side, and have to drive out on the grass to leave due to the curve of the parking lot. But cooler heads prevailed, and I just parked my truck next to his spread axles where he could clearly see that he'd blocked me.

    I care 2 tubes of greese one is normal grease and the other is that great old axle grease that is hard as heck to get off your hands....I have and will fill a drivers door handle with it for doing that...just like if someone parks in a way that I cant get out of the truck stop I will put up as close to his bunk when I know he or she is in it and blast the train horns. call me mean crude or what ever. maybe when he or she has to get up see me p o and everyone else now up and po because the would not park correctly or smartly they will learn. now don't get me wrong I will give them one chance to come to the door and move. if the refuse to get out of bed and move alarm clock time...and you should see a drivers face when they go to open their door and get that grease on them....the get so mad the could cry....

    Sometimes they're dead tired after a long day and have to park wherever they can. I've had to ask someone to move twice. Both times I politely knocked on their door, let them know I was leaving, and offered them my parking spot. :)

    I give them the one chance...come to the door I let them know they need to move so I can leave and then they can have my spot...I even have offered to hold it till they can come back around to line up....but don't move or just refuse to come to the door....alarm is going off.... thinking of mounting a 3 set of train horns behind the bumper....wounder what it would look like on the side of the classics hood....lol

    *knock, knock, knock*

    ........


    *bang, bang, bang*

    ......


    ****** wha-- I was SLEEPING ******

    There will be an open parking spot you can back into as soon as you move and let me out. Oh, and by the way, you're going to have a flat drive tire. It's still leaking air. :)

    Wow

    What are we on the prision yard????

    Or better yet in the hood wearing don't snitch T-Shirts???

    If you cant find the driver have his trailer towed ... Tell them you are leaving NOW and you want that trailer out of your way....way too many drivers are inconsiderate jerks and need a lesson in manners....

    Save that dont rat crap for the Donnie Brasco movies

    Agreed. Reading some of the tough talk in here is funny. Blowing your train horn (or even your air horn) at a truck stop in the middle of the night is a good way to get your ### kicked. A better, more mature approach would be to alert the truck stop employees that the driver is improperly parked and is blocking you in. They will either get him to move or move him.

    If you're being an ####### or are being unsafe, I will report you in a New York minute. Call me a rat if you want, but if I have to follow the rules, so do you.
