hmm, attracting the type?
Yeah that probably is part of the problem, didn’t Jasper Carrot do a routine about the nutter on the bus who would inevitably sit next to you and then proceed to tell you he’s got a hand grenade?
Comedy gold…

One particular bod, its been fifteen years at least since i’ve had the misfortune, you could sense the black cloud of doom approaching before he loomed into view.
They’re getting smarter though, like the one I had a few weeks ago who seemed quite normal at first… Then after moaning for a good twenty minutes, sucker-punched me with the ran out of time on a bay story! I’m still annoyed with myself!

The black cloud bod would invariably catch me just putting me first car on, and with the best will in the world you’re going to be there faffing about for an hour loading…apart from the danger of forgetting to do something important (like tie a bloody car on) because this pillock is causing your self preservation instincts into doubt 
This effectively contributes to the downfall of many businesses.
The “I’m not doing that” brigade of tossers that are so hard done by in life that they think the world owes them a living.
The harsh reality is that the United Kingdom has created a society of individuals that hold their hand out and “Expect” to be given everything for nothing.
I avoid these people like the plague. Let them moan at some other poor sod, or ■■■■ off home to the wife and kids to have a good whinge up.
Had a mate of mine who i worked with for twenty years was a bit of a moaner, never seemed to have a good day but i have to admit it was fun to egg him on a little, get him going as it were. The trick was not to go too far as he’d raise his voice then start to go red in the face as he got more animated so it was time to ease off before the old boy started coughing and sputtering. I say old because he was a couple of years older than me.
Even though he moaned about it he worked full time till he was 71 when they eliminated his run but instead of retiring altogether he worked 2 days a week and he still moaned about it.

…This is why I’ve always liked the jobs that have me out of the office the entire time.The window of opportunity when I get back, and chuck my keys in - is negligible.
I also make a point, when possible - of using the gents at my last drop, rather than chancing bumping into someone I don’t want to talk to at the home base gents as I chuck my keys in…You know… Them ones that have their name tattooed on their dicks, and are called “Bartholomew” …
“Ah, Mr Winseer, we’ve been expecting you - hang your keys up on the board and step this way for a debrief - please join the drivers queue”
Ohhh… Don’t!

The only driver I’ve heard of who’s more in-the-■■■■ when he gets back, and parks up…
To be fair it’s the same in most jobs/trades. People don’t like change, be it the mechanic moaning about new rules or computer to find faults or coppers having to do more paperwork. If you have been doing X job for most of your life you have probably had enough but know nothing else. For all the drivers who want to do a bit extra when retired I bet that there is equal amount who have had a gut full. We are humans and that’s it.
yeah but what about people who are so fed up of moaners that they moan about moaners on a truckers forum which encourages more moaning about moaners? haha we can’t win

Oddly enough, most firms have toilets in the same building as the transport office.

Yardman at my work.known as deep depression. got landed with him last week.had to listen to some Leonard Cohen to cheer myself up.
I work with some of the most cretinous moaners you could ever hope to never meet. The worst ones are the warehouse to wheels mongs who have been driving here for 15-20 years. Never been out in the wild, never done general haulage and cry like babies if they’re not clocking out by their scheduled finish time. Regularly refuse runs if they think it will push them into overtime despite our contract saying a reasonable amount is expected if schedules require it. Nope, they won’t do one minute. And the traffic office let them get away with it. Tail wagging the dog any one.
Then we have the limp contingent who get all the best runs coz of their life long, never to be cured injuries. Bad backs, bad legs, bad shoulders, we got every kind of fake ■■■■■■■ you can imagine. My only hope is they end up crippled for real.
I complain even when I’m doing well because a) I don’t believe it will last long (it never does) and b) I don’t want peopple to know I’m doing well or they might become jealous and try to pull me down for their own benefit 'cause that’s human nature
I guess that makes me a miserable bugger in the eyes of co-workers.

I think this is basically why a lot people like being lorry drivers they don’t have to mix to much and can be miserable in their company.
