I arrived at my drop this morning at 07:20 to be told im not booked in until 10:30 and there’s no way of getting tipped any earlier, so I do what anyone would do in that situation and find somewhere decent on the trading estate, close the curtains and get some sleep.
About 09:00 there’s a bang on my door, waking me from quite a deep sleep. I open the curtains to see someone signalling me to open the door as I do he says ‘I couldn’t do your job mate, just pulling up and sleeping. I bet you have terrible nights’.
Part of me thought it was a dream but sure as hell he was still there explaining how difficult it must be.
When the curtains are across and he knows that means im sleeping why on earth would you feel the need to wake someone and tell them?!?!? I didn’t respond just closed the door and went back to sleep.
Any one else had any similar experiences or was it just a bad morning for me?
I was parked in a remote area near a small village in Spain.
It was about two am, I was fast asleep, then somebody was banging hard on my door, and shouting aggressively.
I pulled the curtains back and saw a drunk man with a beard, in his late 30,s.
Another occasion in the UK, I had unloaded at a small industrial unit down a narrow rural lane.
I stopped to make a phone call, without blocking the road.
A rigid goes past me and churns up the verge on the front of a cottage.
The old lady in the cottage comes storming out in a fit of rage.
She is banging my door, shouting it is my fault her verge has been ripped up by lorry tyres.

You should have returned the favour by punching Mr Nutter in the face with tremendous force then saying " I couldn’t do your job mate, needlessly waking truck drivers who appear to resort to physical violence for no apparent reason, I bet you have terrible headaches…
Years ago I was parked up asleep during the day and forgot to turn the phone off. One of our drivers phoned and asked if I was asleep. When I said yes he then remarked that he had just gone past and saw the curtains drawn!!!
