Before double yellow lines were painted ,a lot of foreign drivers parked on our depot road ,they’d often pop in and ask if they could use the toilets ,but we’re always refused by t.o ,
I’d often stroll over and direct them to the McDonald’s up the road ,but I did feel embarrassed having to do it ,it really shouldn’t be to much to let someone use a toilet who needs one ,you do wonder what these foreign drivers think to our attitudes towards them sometimes .
It’s not only lorry drivers. (might just have been I suppose). I was at a '40s weekend a couple of weeks ago. Tardis portaloos, still clean as it was fairly early on Saturday. In one of them there was a turd in the handbasin! Why?

I’ve never understood how one human being can deny another human being the basic need to use a bog, I was denied one morning waiting for a delivery point to open, it was a garage next door, I just said to the guy 'OK mate, next time YOU are desperate for a ■■■■, and you will be, and you can not find a toilet, just remember me and this day, and I hope you crap yourself ‘’
I wouldn’t ask somebody to use a toilet in their home, but it was a garage ffs.
A small girl knocked on my front door once crying and asked to use the toilet. By the time she got to 'et, it’s was all over my doorstep.
Her mother had kicked her out the house whilst she went down the bookies and the poor lass had nowhere to go. She only came to mine as I used to sell eggs from the chickens.
Was a bit random.
2 problems
1 total lack of parking
2 total lack of signage to get a driver to the parking.
Bloody hell! I’ve heard of people ’ having crap on their own doorstep ’ before, but that takes the biscuit.
All because you sold some eggs. Bet your head was scrambled.

He had to shell out on some domestos afterwards.
One comment from a nimby on that web site, says that drivers are sometimes parked there for days on end, there is CCTV so it should be possible to id the culprits,lol what ■■■■■■■ planet are some of these nimbies on?,This is what happens when euro work for British companies is virtually a thing of the past thanks to governments of this country, if we could compete will the EE’s on price they wouldn’t be parked up for days waiting for a reload in their droves, there would be more parking available for our own trucks too
I went in to work last week and some of the drivers were joking about something that I didn’t understand. So I asked them to explain and they told me somebody had left a turd in the yard a few days prior. We’ve so many drivers pass through that the culprit remains anonymous, but I felt I’d witnessed a new low.
Sadly from my experience I’d say more than half of british drivers are a disgrace.
No one matters but them,they are rude,scruffy,dirty and have no respect for themselves never mind other people.
Leaving rubbish is not on,bag it put it in outside locker or top step and bin it when you see one,it’s not difficult.
ISome drivers behavior makes me ashamed to be a driver at times 
I might be a tad contraversial here, but what are drivers supposed to do. Ok, I never do lay bys or estates, because my firm has a strict secure parking policy. But most drivers parked in places like that work for people too tight to pay it. If there are no facilities what can you do. I dare say if they removed all the kharzis from number 10, call me Dave would probably take a leak in the back garden
But the worst of it is, you can give some people toilets, and they just don’t know how to use them. Some are plain shocking.

Doubt he’d crap in a bag and hang it from a tree though

True, but that’s not just lorry drivers. Just have a look at the state of toilets at most warehouses up and down the land. You can count the decent ones on one hand
Parked on the estate at Andover last night, got up this morning and while doing my walk around I picked up and put in the bin at least 5 Maccy Dee bags which had been tossed out onto the road. I know it wasn’t my rubbish, but if I drove off and left it then anyone passing later would blame “them bloody truck drivers”.

I don’t believe it , 8 posts on drivers leaving a mess and no mention of foreign drivers by the 'I hate Johnny Foreigner, crew.. time yet I suppose.
It’s dirty [zb] like this that makes me ashamed to be a driver. If these socially inept [zb] reptiles need a [zb] so bad, wait to they get to the next msa.s in the morning, and if they are so incapable of controlling their bodily functions, at least take a [zb] in their trailers in a [zb] bag, and dispose of it later in a bin ffs. and why chuck ■■■■ bottles out of the window. What kind of upbringing have these tossers had
I know there is a park at Doxey rd Stafford, but this is why most town truck parks have disappeared over the years because of arse holes like them giving the councils the ammo and excuse they are looking for to drive us all into [zb] , lay bys, and they are too pig- [zb] thick to see this.God I feel better for that

Agree with these. It’s disgusting the way some drivers behave, makes you wonder what their houses are like!
There’s no excuse for getting caught short, but if you do then bag it n bin it ffs

The worse culprits for McDs chucked all over the place are the chavs who drive around in their blinged up 1.1 Vauxhall Corsa with big bore exhaust, car sits so low you couldn’t fit a ■■■ paper under it and with the window sticker in the back that says, " Mission aborted, gone for a spliff".
we used to be ‘knights of the road’…apparently…now everyone seems to hate us

Is it surprising when you have ‘HGV ambassadors’ riding inches from the car in front travelling at the speed limit trying to intimidate them into driving faster, or the ‘HGV clowns’ that cause bedlam by blocking off an overtaking lane for eons when they clearly haven’t got the power to carry out the manouvre and now you have the ‘HGV low lifes’ that think it is acceptable to leave bottles of urine and human excrement all over the place, for someone else to pick up and pay for its removal. Sadly we all get tarred with the same brush when people read of behaviour like this.
