    Always gave mine up when I went on home-time... would have a few saved, so told the clerk to give them away.

    I don't believe you guys are giving showers away. I been buying showers for 4 years at truck stops. Everyone walks right by while im putting money in. It's ok though I am reimbursed. I have been given a free shower from the employees at the fuel desk.

    Would I help a fellow human being who needs it..Yes I would. Could anyone drive off and not think about what we could have done. Do we know his story as to how he became the lost soul he is. Did he loose his whole family due to a tragedy, maybe a job loss and losing everything he owns. If we dont stop to help those who need,,even if only a shower,,his story could remain untold. I would not want to be the one who picks up the morning paper and reads about how a homeless person was found dead due to neglect.
    Hug your fellow human being and lend a hand.
     
    Moving Forward, DLKeur and pattyj Thank this.

    Three days ago, (56 posts as of this typin'), Sea0fgreen posed the question:
    "Would you give away a shower"?
    I figured SOMEone would chime in with the obvious answer by now.
    But no one did.
    I can't contain myself any longer.
    So I'm gonna just do it.
    But before I do, I wanna reassure y'all that I have no plans
    at this time,
    to quit my day job. :biggrin_25512:

    Ready?
    Here goes, ...........................

    Q.: Would you ever give away a shower?
    :smt102

    A.: Give (away) a shower? :smt104
    HaiL No.

    You have it backwards. :happy3:
    I don't give away showers.
    By golly,
    I take showers. :toothy1:


    :smt037 :laughing-guffaw:



    It must be nice,
    but I sure can't afford the luxury of a "cash" shower.
    :biggrin_25512:
    Just plain ol' water an' a bar-0-soap and I come pretty clean. :yes2557:

    Yeah, ..... but,
    most of us ain't like you, PackRat.
    We can't afford to buy a Love's Big truck truck stop with an executive shower.
    That'd probably cost more than those $13 cash showers 25(2)+2 was tellin' us 'bout.

    HeY wait!
    You're not talkin' 'bout Love's Bunny Ranch out thar in Nevada, ............. are ya?
    If y'are, I'm thinkin' you got some 'splainin' to do.
    :biggrin_255:

    T/A east or west, driver?
    Gettin' hooked up with a shower machine sounds more like what
    I can afford.
    I have champagne tastes
    on a seven-up budget.
    P.S.A.
    (Public Service Announcement)
    *******************************************************************

    Attention Y'all.

    Due to the lack of rain in
    The Land-0-Fruits & Nutz
    The powers that be
    California;
    Request all Big truck truck drivers
    who absolutely must take a shower while in
    the (tarnished) Golden State,
    to limit the amount of time spent under water
    to two minutes, or preferably less, until further notice.
    Y'all's cooperation in the conservation of water will be
    greatly appreciated, and will help keep the price of a
    12 ounce bottle of water below $4.00.

    Furthermore, the practice of giving away showers will
    hereafter be discouraged.
    However,
    the sale of cash showers will still be allowed,
    with prices dependent on the current supply and demand, ---
    which cause prices to fluctuate.

    Those who are interested in acquiring shower vouchers
    for their investment portfolio should get in on the bottom
    before prices reach their peak
    for the most return,
    far surpassing the U.S. dollar or Euros.
    Don't miss out on the investment opportunity of the century.

    :smt047


    Tough decision, huh?
    YeaH!
    The nerve of some people!
    Just 'cause they're homeless and have no physical address, --- or phone at their home sweet home under the overpass to put on an application, --- they think that's an excuse to just goof-off all day, everyday. Half of 'em are probably crazy, college graduates who look at Big trucks and see the Big truck truck drivers, and think to themselves, "I'd even be willin' to do that for a livin', --- if y'all can call that livin' a livin'".
    Cain't git much crazier than that.
    Ya reckon.
    Does that mean that (maybe) you will do it?
    By handin' out freebies to those formerly average citizens, now among America's newly impoverished, could send the message that folks still drawin' a paycheck, with a roof over their head, gorgin' on three square meals a day, with snack options, actually give a hoot what happens to a bunch-0-loosers.
    Compassion?
    BaH HumbolT!
    Blame it on the southbound economy.
    Cry me a river.
    Right on driver!!
    Never give a "complete bum" an even break.
    Horde whatçha have and flaunt it.
    Give 'em all a dose of ridicule. Call 'em all derogatory names. Throw trash at 'em, an' mud too.
    Exacerbate their depression 'till they do somethin' drastic, --- like jump off a bridge.
    Just imagine the pride y'all will be filled with when y'all see the live action news reports from the scene. Y'all can brag to friends that y'all were instrumental in their final decision to take a header off a high point. If not for y'all, "Joe schmoe" would still be among the living. Y'all would be a hee-row in your own mind.


    From my viewpoint, based upon your high standards, "someone that looks homeless" would include a rather large percentage of the Big truck truck drivers drivin'Big trucks, --- many of which appear as though they neither use, or give away, their shower coupons. Water conservationists, no doubt.

    I have a feelin' that thousands of Big truck truck drivers who read what'cha wrote, just made a note of your method to obtain additional shower coupons. :evil3: I sure hope they don't hand them shower coupons out to Joe schmoe or any of the other complete bums who've fallen on bad times through no fault of their own, who don't deserve a shower anyway. angry9::mad:
    Wouldn't we all be better off if all the homeless, unemployed, rif-raf
    got locked up in jail, outta our sight
    and outta our minds?
    :tongue3:
    :tongue7::wave::tongue7:
    Hmmmm -----
    Did anyone consider that to be a hint?
    Only the nose knows? :smt047
