    The amount of hypocrisy going on with the mask BS is reaching stratospheric levels.

    I was at a place in Utah with a "strict mask policy" posted on the receiver door. They have a office with a huge window looking into the warehouse. I had to go back to get my mask and as I walk in I notice that not only are the people in the office not wearing a mask, nobody in the warehouse either.

    WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE #### SIGN ON THE DOOR?

    I just wear my mask around my neck anymore just to avoid having to walk back to my truck.

    I had the police called on me at Firestone in Indy for very similar situation. There was a bunch of guy's sitting around a PC behind a tinted glass wall. They were all up on each other and none were masked yet the freak hiding behind her plastic partition was demanding I wear one or not get loaded.

    I think those signs maybe required by the state gov. They are everywhere I go. Just more 'do as I say not as I do' kind of thing.

    There is one good reason to wear a mask, which is when you go to a truck stop bathroom. I do wear it there voluntarily and I think it'll stay like that for awhile.

    And maybe ear buds or something. Self admittedly I don’t spend much time in truck stops anymore, but recently I did and every time next to my stall was a guy ####ting and talking on his headset at the same time. Even worse was I didn’t speak the language any of the times. Or, maybe I should be thankful I couldn’t follow the convo. lol

    Definitely no me time on the pot in trucking.

    It's the guys that use a water bottle instead of TP that piss me off. They get everything wet, dump their empty bottle on the floor, then quickly leave. I generally looked for another stall.

    The half empty water bottles were a mystery to me for some time...like I could not figure out why someone had to drink while sitting on the toilet until a friend of mine explained to me that some cultures have a ritual of some sort...well as long as they they can keep it clean and take the bottles back, that's fine by me but it does not seem to be always the case.
    The #### house situation deteriorated a lot in the last decade or so. I think it used to be much cleaner. There are still well upkept restrooms at some truck stops, for instance, Little America, WY or Sapp Bross but of course, they all have their limits. I think best time to use the restroom is during wee hours or just purchase a shower. I will never stand in line to one of those stalls. No. No.

    Bathrooms at truck stops... I've seen some scumbags washing their feet in the sinks
    Some of you brushing their teeth there, better think twice...:D

    I saw a loser brushing his teeth in the bathroom this morning. How disgusting? I bet he could taste fecal vapors with every stroke! Last thing I want to do is spend a single second in there than absolutely possible let alone hang out and brush my teeth etc etc.
