when it is time for your 45 min break its nice to pull up in the services turn your engine off and relax,not so with some selfish drivers,why do they feel the need to pull up beside your cab when you are enjoying your break and leave their engines on while they are doing something in their cab, do they not hear enough of their engines on the motorway,this guy was beside my wagon for about 15 min today with his engine on tickover, then he switches off after annoying me and goes into the services to buy something,so annoying
Might have been running it because he was using a big inverter for a microwave etc, or using another high power item? Otherwise probably didn’t realise it bothered you - or didn’t care.
hmmmmm, OP decides he wants a quiet and peaceful break. decides services are the ideal destination for this.
if i wanted a quiet and peaceful break the services would be the last place i go.

maybe,but every other driver had their engines off and it was peaceful until he turned up

no he was doing some paperwork of some kind and as you say probably did not care
Truckman 20, You would,nt want me and tipper tom parking up next to ya with our fridges running all part and parcel of the job mate. 
I usually leave engine running for a minute or 2 let the turbo wind down ,not 15min tho lol
They have this problem at my grandaughters nursery, when they have there “quiet time” it’s so hard to get all the children to be quiet at the same time. 
Don’t expect any peace in the MSA you need to chill out, bear in mind the job is now done by captain bell end and the plant pot drivers, ooh my turbo will go bang if I switch it off, and do you think if I flash my headlights like a complete tool the traffic lights will go green.
Resign yourself and relax

Space at MSA’s seems to be becoming increasingly scarce of late…
Tried getting into Thurrock yesterday - had to hide among the foreign wagons parking on the service road. (they get left alone by MSA staff it seems…)

Cullompton is increasingly full as is Taunton and Exeter and Segmore

yeah,i suppose your right,just having a whinge other times it dont bother me i think maybe i was in a grump yesterday
I seldom use services since being on fridges because I care about… Not having my diesel nicked lol.
No seriously I only use services about three times a week so I can shower because I don’t like the thought of other drivers rest being disturbed by my row
If the MSA is full of truckers and it’s daytime, then how the hell can anyone get away with nicking diesel from anyone?
Roll up with a switched on fridge, and you’ll be bundled by irate scousers on tramp. 
I don’t think there’s enough of an opening there for some pi key to get their oar in whilst everyone else is distracted… 
Oh and diesel is never nicked by another trucker?
