    I'm small town old school and share your frustration. Sometimes it seems the world is just full of self absorbed idiots these days. Recently I've decided to stop thinking about the decline of society, and just continue acting the way I think things should work. I know I feel better and enjoy my day better when I help a few people out. Ninety percent of folks are too rude to notice ... but the other ten percent are hopefully inspired to pay it forward themselves. I'm happier now that I'm focusing on the 10% and not the 90%.

    Run local at the moment.
    Typically tell the OTR boys trying to grab a shower "Eh, hold on a sec, lemee save you a credit." Do a pretty good job of giving out all of mine, have literally no use for them.

    Given a few credits when I was OTR and was given a few in return. Sucks when you get all mentally psyched for a shower and find out you don't have credits. How sad is it, that something as normal as a shower, can be such a big deal. But that's life on the road for 'ya.

    Whenever I'm home, I take like 3 minuet showers because I hate paying for utilities. When I'm at a TS shower I act like that hot water is coming from a hot spring. I am literally speeding the path of global atmospheric destruction with my carelessness. And if feels great.

    I'm always a bit hesitant to give a shower to a Randy because they might jack the towels or vandalize something and I don't want that coming back on me...
