A bunch of years back when I started driving, we were at a 76 truck stop off of 75 I think in Kentucky. That night we rolled in and parked as we have done for the past three or four weeks, we were tired, the owner just opened the sleeper vents and turn on the fans and fell asleep ... he had natural air condition in the truck.

there was some big dude who pulled into the place right before us, going around beating on doors and threatening drivers To shut their truck off. He went to the truck next to us and told the guy he needs to turn the truck off or he would beat the guy and shut it down for him.

So sometime in the middle of the night here pulls in this flat bed truck, parks a few trucks away from this guy and it wakes him up. We heard the big dude yell at the driver and stop in midsentence then we heard nothing more except the truck idling and it stayed idling all night long. We got up at 6, saw the cops there and the big dude still laying on the ground. The story goes that the flat bed driver wasn't going to take any crap from anyone and as soon as the guy approached the truck, he was warned to go away, and he didn't so the driver hit the guy in the face with a bat as soon as he got out of the truck and busted him up pretty good. we left as soon as we could.

I would have done the same. I am not a "big guy" and I do not consider myself to be any kind of "tough guy", but I can take care of myself and have zero tolerance for bullies.
