Any wonder we get a bad name?

couple of weeks back i was in michaelwood services and a uk mail decker pulls in and the driver jumps out goes to the back of his trailer and ■■■■■■ up the wheel 100 yards from the toilets.
yesterday afternoon i was in there again,as i was leaving i noticed a white scania,R&R Transport on the feul pumps…hes standing there and while his tank is filling he is emptying his up the side of the tank…bold as brass holding his knob in his hand in full veiw of anyone walking or driving by.hes walked within 20 feet of the toilet and will do again when he goes to pay?
WHY■■?

It’s the “in” thing to do nowadays! I mean c’mon…when you’re filling a vehicle with fuel, you have to take a pee on the tank!

Have noticed when touring France they go anywhere and I don’t mean Hgv drivers …one guy having a pee 5yards from a supermarket entrance…

I stopped monkton services last year and some cheeky bugger decided to use my trailer to cover him while he had a pee on the forecourt. I spotted him when I got in my cab so I swiftly fired her up and left him in full view of everyone and the cars were queueing to get on pumps so he had quite an audience :laughing:

Do you guys really have a bad name or have you just convinced yourselves you do?

Woke up in Keele services one morning to find the back wheels of my truck covered in ■■■■ on both sides!

It’s a 15 second walk to the toilet, why so difficult for some people to use them?

I can only hope some poor unsuspecting soul washes their hands thoroughly before and after using the ■■■■ bandits truck!

They’re just marking their territory.

Another example of getting a bad name:

Today I followed a wide load - a huge gin floating gin palace on a trailer, along the a14. The width was such that the deck stick into lane 2 by probably 4-5’, and was being escorted. The ■■■■■■ was letting cars past, but understandably blocking hgvs, as the top of the trailer wouldn’t clear the boat. Slightly annoying, but they were doing about 75 ks, so I bimbled along behind. About a mile east of the a11 split, a box jockey went steaming up lane 2, and got blocked by the ■■■■■■. Did he pull back in though? No, he stayed there until just after the a140 turnoff (30-35 miles or so). The queue of cars behind him was astronomical. Bigger me, when he finally fave up and pulled in, another box jockey pushed out and did it for the rest of the way to Fox’s marina at Ipswich.

I actually get embarrassed when I witness behaviour like that ^^^^^^^^^. Just like when you see two vehicle in the same livery competing in an elephant race for miles! Makes me cringe tbh.

I heard the Ad-blue tank is good too:grin:

Would some one in the know please give a definitive answer,If a driver p%%ed in the ad-blu tank would it be recognised as ad-blu or would the engine have a hissy fit?

AdBlue is urea in aqueous solution (ie diluted with water)

Urea is also found in urine, as is water.

But there are many other salts, minerals and other substances in urine, many of which will obstruct the mixer nozzle or harm the catalyst in the SCR ‘can’, while AdBlue is made using only pure, demineralised water.

So, only try this trick if you don’t mind shelling out for a new AdBlue mixer nozzle and/or SCR cat.

And the cost for these is £000s.

It’s only a bit of wee.

Every species with a urinary tract system has been ■■■■■■■ on the earth since urinary tract systems first evolved.

Most humans object to peeing on the ground and prefer to use a toilet, but have no problems putting bleach in the same toilet to poison the water table. Nor do they worry about filling the air with carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, pesticides and the like. Most of us have no problems with pollution as long as we have electricity and petrol and mass produced food.

Like I said. It’s only wee.

Ok. Cards on the table. For obvious anatomical reasons I’ve never been able to water my wheels, but I WILL happily admit to preferring some nice, natural bushes with fresh earth beneath to provide soakaway and prevent splashback to many a dodgy garage bog. So there you go. *braces herself :blush: *

Don’t let the inadequacies you were born with stop you from fulfilling your dreams…

See now, I thought about that, but the instructions say you should practice in the shower first, by which time you’d just as well “hover” over the manky bog! :cry:

france along with most of europe dont seem to have any issues with just stopping and pointing percy at the porcelain (even when theres no porcelain to point at),no biggy,its just double standard backward attitude uk that has a problem with it. it only becomes an issua abroad when shaking the drips turns into 10 mins of frantic fun… :slight_smile:

possibly like myself then lots of other drivers like to show their displeasure for the standard,and overpriced services by treating them with the contempt they deserve.i have a similar attitude to the A 75…as to me thats where my rubbish gets dumped.

ok to pee behind a bush or similar where it can soak away, but tbh I will not use service stations to park for a break ect unless i really have too, the whole carpark just stinks especially in summer, and would we all like to have our sarnies in the toilets?
