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.
