I’ve had a couple of run ins with a particular driver at a site who besides being a complete ■■■■ was also the know it all lead driver. He’d think nothing of yanking the door open even if you happens to be propping it up zzzzz. However 1 day I spotted him approaching so was prepared, as he grabbed the door handle my right foot was pressed against the inside, so when he opened it the door shot open with some force and smacked him square in the face & bust his nose sending him reeling backwards. Meanwhile before he came to his senses I’m professing my innocence & blaming a gust of wind.

brilliant - LOL
If this is all you have to worry about you must be leading the good life,have a nice day.
Hate it grrr.
Once worked at a place that had the serving hatch system to keep drivers at bay. The ones where they ignore you.
They sometimes brought the notes out to you and tried to open my door. I used to nod at them and look busy before cracking open the window to get my notes.

Of those who replied - are you meaning they just open your cab doors without even a tap/knock? I can see it being annoying if so.

Tell 'em you were just about to have a “Thomas the Tank”, they soon clear off.

Reminds me of many years ago when I was a van salesman for Eden Vale. We used to have D series Fords. One day I arrived at a shop in South Ockenden which was closed for lunch. As I had to wait 20 minutes for it to re-open I decided to lean against the driver’s door for a quick kip. Now, I’m sure every body at some time or other has had a dream where they feel to be falling. It used to be rumoured if you didn’t wake up before hitting the ground you were dead! All of a sudden I was aware I was falling, I hit the ground & there was a very bright light. my initial thought was that I’d sold my last yoghourt. What really happened was that the manager had come out of the shop, opened the door & I’d fallen on him breaking 3 of his ribs. The bright light? that was the sun shining in my eyes.

You mean ‘craic’ if your mate was of the Irish variety.
I would reckon ‘looking for a bit of Crack’ was something entirely different, normally practiced by dubious looking blokes hanging around public bogs at night.
Chap I used to work with had an Ishift FH, for which he always kept a spare set of keys, so when asked to hand over his keys whilst being tipped he could use the radio. One day he didn’t spot the bloke bringing his keys and paperwork back, bloke just opens his door, and was about to say “drive your done” or the like, when he clocked the spare keys in the ignition. So this bloke starts going into one about Elf N Safety and what have you. He was none to pleased about the door being opened
I find that its best when you’ve had a curry the night before, the cab has a ripe smell that waft’s out with the door opened, and most people soon move away

It’s door handle isn’t immediately obvious unless you know where it is.

I’m quite fond of turkey and chicken myself. Anything that gobbles goes down quite nicely.
