Another 15 Minutes of Fame

Those crazy Truck Drivers!! In recent posts, I have complained and laughed about the antics of the male Trucker!! This week was no exception.

Desperate for fuel, I headed for a Truck Stop. Normally, I try to sneak in and get what I need and then be on my way!! Hoping They will not see, I do not dare to make my presence known over the air waves!! Believe me folks, this would just be asking for trouble.

So here I am in Carlisle PA. One of the more Truck populated areas along I-81, with 6 different fuel stops to choose from. Always a hassle to get into, I maneuver into position at the local Petro. The entrance and exit lanes are side by side, so naturally someone has to see me. And then it starts... "Damn It, Girl" (This is one of the many "compliments" used to "hit on" the lady drivers. Sexy Huh??) Always alerted to a female presence, the confusion begins. "Where is she?" "What does she look like" "Where you at Little Lady"

The Truck Stops were all very crowded at this time of the day, so I patiently waited my turn!! Once again, I have turned off the CB while I wait. So after I get my fuel, I must go in and sign for it. The lines at the register are just as bad as the traffic. A good solid fifteen minute wait in line and finally I am out the door. Only the exit line is also backed up due to traffic, so I wait some more. This time, with the CB turned back on.

And naturally it starts up again.. "How 'bout that little lady in the fuel line, you got a copy?"
After several minutes of compliments, questions and general statements I was on my way.

What is funny to me about this is that all the fellows who were ratchet jawing as I left, were the same group who were standing in line inside the store. While I was in the store, everyone was very respectful and civilized!! Not a word was said to me. But let me get back in the Truck and and all respect and dignity flew out the window.. I don't mean I was being verbally harassed or insulted, but just how many times can these guys discuss the shape of my arse, or the girth of my chest??? Come on guys, do you think your wives would appreciate you behaving that way??
