    Better than your load falling on me. :biggrin_2556: You know, I talk a lot of crap about parking next to guys with my reefer but I'm only parked in the same truck stop once every four days and I'm always bobtail or empty lol.

    Kids these days, in between their pumping off all the time and text messaging. They have lost all common sense. Anyhoo, since I'm here on the fuel island. Might as well go take a shower, see ya!

    Would it be worth an investment for some BOSE Noise Cancelling Head Phones?

    I would think so but its just soooo much easier supposedly, for the whiney crowd to just expect everyone that's doing something they don't like to adjust what they are doing so the whiner doesn't have to.

    Gee, talk about being discourteous, huh?

    People are just supposed to drop what they're doing because it bothers someone? Hmmm......

    It's funny how the one doing the whining feels that they deserve preference.

    I will generally look for two parked trucks to park between... minimal risk of getting backed into...

    Numerous times while I was bobtail late at night, I'd sit up in the driver seat playing on my laptop. If a truck came in and didn't have anywhere to park, I would move somewhere else and let him take my spot.....
