Tight rest area parking

Think of how much stuff we never heard about before the 24 hour news cycle began. We got the news on tv 3 or 4 times a day, whatever they deemed necessary to talk about during the half hour, and we got whatever was printed in the paper. Now some guy in Florida farts on a customer at Walgreens and it makes the national news.

 

And the article is so garbled by the "reporter" it is uncertain as to who did what to who. Every 3rd word is "Alleged' just below the video of the action.

 

Because until they're convicted in a court of law, it is still alleged. And if they get sued for making statements of fact which turn out to be false through whatever means, then they get sued for defamation. It doesn't even have to be wrong. It just has to not have resulted in a conviction.

 

Well, according to my abacus, you'd have been a senior in high school around '73 or '74. A quick Google search:

So, yeah stupid things were apparently happening back then, too. I personally wouldn't know, I didn't hatch until 7 years later

 

Yeah but news wasnt 24/7. Lot of these werent discovered till years later. Kinda grasping at straws there.

 

Truck stop fuel islands that don’t allow basically any pull up room to clear the trailer past the poles before nosing the hood into the building I also scratch off the list of places to visit again. I don’t need that extra anxiety.

 

He wasn't grasping, but showing what we didn't see back then because we didn't have instant news.
It wasn't so much in your face at that time and only came out later.

 

Personally, if I didn't think there was enough pull up room, I would just go in and do my business before I pulled out.
Hoping that the other drivers would do the same so we would not block each other in.
