and then gives me a look as if to say whats your problem
has this ever happend to you and what was the reaction when u confronted them about it
i should mention it was a container so no side skirts / rails
Did you have the reversing beeper going.
To lorry drivers it sounds like ‘beep, beep, beep…’
Pedestrians mysteriously hear ‘dash behind the lorry now, dash behind the lorry now…’
no mate i was pulling off the bay when i spotted this guy had crouched down and walked UNDER my trailer between the wheels and the unit 
Did the trailer not have side bars?

Think you need to read the op again slowly 
Must be an old trailer…no crash bars?..i cant remember the last time i pulled any sort of trailer that didnt have them.

Clearly dont tote bulk units then.
I get the ones who walk directly in front of the unit so you cant see them just as you’re about to move forward.
Had this happen in london, stopped at lights, as i pull away ■■■■ decides to cross road under my skelly. Does make you shiver.
Some people are just very very lazy and very very thick, these two together is a recipe for disaster.
You should have ran him over muppet

So true!! 
Did an evening tip of roofing sheets in York few years back, it was in a pedestrianised street. I was on the back slinging the sheets for the crane and when we’d finished I saw a pair of feet sticking out from under the trailer. Tried to get him out to no avail and all the bloke could say was ‘asylum’. Had to get the police to shift him in the end
Very early in my artic career (like 4 months ago 
) I missed the dock leveller at Poundstretcher at Huddersfield 
, some oik stuck his head through the side to tell me, which was fair enough, so I pulls forward and jinks a few inches, as I’m reversing back on, maybe 3 feet from the bay, this oik sticks his head out the side of the bay and starts waving me back .
