No drivers allowed to use the canteen

speedyguy:
That sounds like the other thread on facilities, free tea and coffee so fill your flask up, and moan at the butty van owner or the other recent one whining about the pub.

Reminds me of the oldies on holiday the other year at the breakfast buffet dropping rolls and sandwiches under the table into their handbags for later :laughing:

Like the weekend in Prague I had . Only they encouraged you to help yourself to extras for later

A dog walker wrote in,she was too scared to walk through the parking area due to men having their bits out while urinating.

How ridiculous! Just because a man has his ‘fella’ out taking a leak the woman, felt “scared”, scared of what exactly? Is she hinting that she felt like he was going to assault her in some way? Women like this ■■■■ me right off! Sorry love just because you have ■■■■ and a ■■■■■ doesn’t automatically mean that I have an uncontrollable desire to do things to you!!!

Yeah she’s being a bit presumptuous isn’t she! She might be a minger :laughing:

Speak for yourself, ■■■■ and a ■■■■■ and I’m on it, no ■■■■ to ruff for me… :blush:

Delivering on regular multidrop around Manchester in the early 70s,you had the choice of lots of works canteens to get a really good and very cheap meal each day.
We had 13 drivers in the area, and 4 or 5 of us settled on one very good one.We were made welcome,and were on first name terms with the staff,even the bosses.
The gateman walks in one day and politely asks one of our drivers to move his lorry as an artic cant get past.Our driver says you will have to wait ,cant you see I am eating my dinner?
Next day I turn up for my dinner,the gateman says sorry John,but gaffer heard your bloke,and no more drivers to use canteen.
As people have said,happens all the time,always has.
Regards John.

When Raquel Welch was chasing dinosaurs in a leather bikini,drivers could dine for free on all ferry crossings.
Six courses,free wine and beer.
Seafood and steaks.Waited on by staff.
But all this ended.
Drivers filling sick bags with ham,cheese,boiled eggs,bread,croissants.
To save spending on food after getting off the ferry.
There were heated debates on what to watch on tv in the drivers lounge,if there was a sporting event on.
Arguing over the remote cobtrol was common.

Thanks

I have never had a problem going the bog anywhere, I just have my smile, charm and a bit of cheekyness in a nice way and bingo, people talk to you even chat to you and let you go to the loo.

If I had a problem the wagon would be parked up and off I go walking to a place to pee (pub, Mc’d’s ect), bet they don’t want my wagon where I left it and let me go the loo :wink: :wink:

I always make sure I get decent meal before going into anywhere that may be a slow tip. Also you can apply toddler handling techniques to most goods in staff, if you smile and say no rush as I will get overtime, they usually tip you fairly quickly.

If you spent five minutes more when posting, your posts might be a bit more readable fella :wink:

my favourite one, i pull on the bay or unloading place back doors still shut, go in and ask if im free to use toilet if they say no i explain that im not right on the bay yet and will take load back, soon changes their mind im doing a job and dont give a crap what rules they make up its a basic human right to use the toilet or i drive off most of you need to grow some simple as that its your workplace as its theirs also

I was a little annoyed at this so left them a nice ‘topdecker’, apologies for not helping with the truck driver stereotype…

msgyorkie:
Exactly the reason why we get refused access to facilities.

Agree…not clever, very childish :unamused:

Wow I bet you pair are fun at parties…

Shockingly when confronted with an act of discrimination I respond with an act of defiance.
Its no good whimpering in the corner about how one driver spoils it for the rest and not making a stand.

As stated the die had already been cast, drivers where not allowed to use the office toilets and no amount of cleaning or grovelling would change that. So I deceided to show my displeasure by submitting a ‘top decker’. Course I felt guilty a bit afterwards as the person who would have to clean this up would not be the person who had made the decision to ban drivers from the office loo’s but on the other hand the comedy value for me was greater.

Perhaps if we all stood together and said enoughs enough things would be different but until then I will do my own thing as and when i feel like it.

When greated with a nice clean loo for drivers I treat it with respect for my fellow damsels but when greated with a dump I treat it accordingly, vicious circle perhaps but one things for sure- whimpering in the background won’t change a thing.

well said dip. i do much the same, they put us in that position just that when people moan about it that bugs me they moan in the background where action is better iv even ■■■■ in a trailer once, when i need to go bud better out than in and all that, i had a big operation as a kid as bowel didnt work good and was told never to hold it in so i dont and fukem my health is paramount to me anyway

Thank you iceman-thats just it we have to make a stand, we can’t go quitely and just bend over and let this continue. Treat me like an animal and I will act like one, treat me with respect and you will get it back in spades, this doesn’t translate to everyone and every nationality but in my country I have earn’t (by birthright) the ability to be respected and I don’t expect to be discriminated against due to my profession or what others have done before me.

it happens in most work places. i used to be a nhs scotland tbo(toilet brush operator) in my local hospital and some of the things i ve seen make driver toilets look luxury.
i ve seen things i honestly didn t think were possible by human beings.
