A bunch of useless crap
Published on September 19, 2007 By MasonM In Blogging
One of the annoyances of trucking is the lot lizard. They are creatures that wander the parking lots of truckstops knocking on truck doors. As I was sitting here surfing the net I heard a knock on my door. I didn't even need to look to know it was such a creature.

I hit the button to roll down my window a bit and asked her what she wanted although I already knew the answer. "Want some company?" she asked. "No" was my reply. That is usually enough for them but this one responded with "No? Why not?"

I replied in a tad more stern voice "No. Just no. End of conversation." Her response was "Ok." and as she walked away "Asshole."

Yup, I'm an asshole for not wanting to let some random and unsolicited prostitute into my truck. I'm an asshole for having enough self respect to not feel the need to hire the services of a sleeper leaper. I'm an asshole for preferring to say no.

Yup, I'm an asshole. But I am a healthy asshole who doesn't have AIDS.

You mean this kind of behavior is common at America's truck stops? Why, that's un-American! ::

Trust me. No they don't.

I think Steven is right.  They do NEED you in DC, but they sure dont WANT you there.

That's gross.

Now you have me wondering.....are these women attractive?  How much do they charge for their time?  Do they live nearby, drive to work, or catch a ride with a client?  How much business do they actually get.  Are there times in the trucking world when business is better?  If so, when and why.  Are there any "universal" signs a trucker can give if he's lookin?

I'd love to interview several lot lizards in diff states and make a documentary.  Then some random families who pull into the truck stop.  Round it out with a client or two...and some state troopers.....

How many families (who have never and would ever drive into the "wrong" side of town for fear of their tots seeing this kind of thing) drive into a truck stop for a bathroom break, some snacks, and gas and never know that not too far away.....

Freaky.

Hopefully Mason doesn't know the answers to those questions

 

/salute Mason for staying away from trouble here.

A "working girl" calling an actual working man an asshole?

Actually, I'd vote for you Mason. I gotta agree with Steven and Dr.G. I'd love to see someone in D.C. with REAL balls - not marketting prototype versions.

No, they sure wouldn't want me there. I'd set a good example for them, and we can't have anything like that in politics now can we?

Thanks.

True.

Most of them are stringy haired crack addicts and the like. As for their fees, I haven't the slightest idea. As for the rest about them, I just don't care so I don't know.

I do know that sometimes that lot lizard is an undercover cop, I've seen that several times and seen drivers getting arrested for soliciting.

Personally I just don't want them knocking on my door at all.

Thanks, but it's just common sense really. Don't wanna catch a disease, be robbed or arrested, just say no.

Yeah, pretty ironic isn't it? I'm not the one going around knocking on trucks and waking up drivers.

But isn't potential sex worth disease, robbery, and prison?

Hey, you'll get even more sex, diseases, and muggings in prison!

Yeah, I think it's not worth it.

I agree with the last two sentences. While they don't send them to prison they do have to appear in court. Sadly, many of these idiots are married too. I'm sure that's really good for the marriage.

Maybe Hollywood will make a movie about a down and out lot lizard who flosses her teeth and doesn't kiss guys on the lips. Then she can hit the big time with her very SECOND John...and he will look just like Richard Gere.

Oh wait. They did that already.

I thought it was stupid then too.

I can't believe how many of my gal pals liked that movie. I always say...you know she was a street whore right? Like snagging a rich jon is a Cinderella story.

Yeah, I don't think so.
