A bunch of useless crap
Published on December 2, 2006 By MasonM In Blogging
Last night some dimwit parked next to me, on my right. Well, he sort of parked. He backed his rig about half way into the parking space and left it there, front hanging out blocking half the drive. WTF?

When I got up this morning I loooked at his half assed parking jub. When it was time for me to leave there would be no way I could pull out and make the swing without taking off his hood.

I went on inside and took care of my morning routine and had some coffee. When I came back out the idiot was still parked just as he was when I went inside. I caught up my log book and warmed up my engine. It was time for me to leave so I needed to wake up stupid.

I walked over and banged on his door. A young guy answered. "Hey driver, I'm getting ready to pull out and if you want to keep your hood I'd suggest you back the rest of the way into your parking spot."

"Huh?" was his reply. Ok, he's obviously not awake yet.

"You're sticking out blocking the drive and have about 30 feet of parking spot behind you. I'm pulling out of here in about 30 seconds. If you're still sitting here when I do you're going to loose your hood."

I then walked back to my truck, put it in gear and began pulling forward. The little light bulb in his head finally came on and he threw his truck in reverse and starting backing up.

Where do they find these morons?

Heheh, I guess he got the picture! Some people don't even bother to take the time to park properly anymore! Sometimes they take up two parking spots. Not that's stupid!

One time I was at the bank where my wife works and her boss made the comment that "we can get anybody off the street to work here." Heh, so I told him to come on out to where I work on some random morning when we kick people loose and hire him one of those 'anybody off the street' types. yeah, I'd LOVE to see some of those kinds of people working around all that cash money in a BANK!   

Anyway, I'll wager it's a scary thing some of the morons they put behind the wheel these days! But...a lot of times these employers, well... it boils down to they gets what they pays for!

I think it's all these little irritants that build up and we feel mad as hell eventually..

this stupid dork had the manners and consideration, for others, of a bug under a rock!

Hope the rest of the weeks adding up to your next "down time at home" go better!

Old joke: What do you get when three JB Hunt drivers pull out of a truckstop? Six empty parking places.

Yep, that's about the size of it.

Yep. The driver shortage has caused a lot of the low budget companies to hire people who otherwise are unemployable. There are truck drivers, and there are steering wheel holders.

I think he was just stupid as hell. Nobody with a lick of sense would have parked like that.

I've always heard of those J.B. Hunt jokes! Kinda like Texas Aggie jokes...

Well, I don't really like knocking the JB Hunt drivers too much. I spent some time talking with a JB Hunt husband and wife team a while back. We talked about a lot of different stuff and they really seemed like a couple of nice guys to me.

I like to think I have a better than average sense of humor but I couldn't do justice to Tracy.

But that's like the Texas Aggie thing! Texas A&M is one of the best schools in America! My bro in law was in the corp of cadets as well as my nephew now. You gotta be made of real metal to take the jokes, you know!
