    I stopped in the Pilot at exit 5 I-20 in GA two weeks ago, pulled in to get fuel. Looked over to the truck next to me, was a guy in shorts and flip flops and he had whipped it out peeing on the fuel island! This was at lunch time, and he wasn't even trying to hide it. I got out and told him what a disgusting pig he was, told him how close he was to restroom and he basically told me in so many words to mind my own business. After he peed, he then went inside the store, still parked at pump and never bought fuel. And I thought I had seen it all out here.

    Speaking of cb radios. When there was not a gps ( not that i trust it 100%) sometimes in a city/town i would ask directions and a base station would come on and give directions and help best they could. Even someone in a truck or 4- wheeler would try to help. I always tried to call the customer, but didn't always work. Still do at times. Now mostly nonsense and stupidity. We live apprx 5 miles away from a large egg farm. Interesting to see some of these trucks coming out the side road beside my brothers house. Its a small dirt road, no room to make the turn. Just following the gps. The farm has been there for over 25 years. Just in last 10 or so do we see the "lost" drivers. I know we all can get lost, been there.

    Yeah mayby some trash bag / pee jug throwers, but not nearly as many as now. My friend walked into the restroom at a truck stop the other day. Some guy was washing his feet in the sink, his sandals off. Guess not a big deal, but unusual, why not just get a shower? Shoes?

    I'm pretty sure I've seen more than enough super trucker dude dropping trash out the door of their long nose Petes as well as laying onto the horn because someone didn't get into spot on the 1st try...

    This is certainly not just a "white volvo" issue...
