When drivers forget to take their uneaten sandwiches out of the fridge.
If you catch them within a day or two they’re still ok to eat. However, under no circumstances eat the ham once it’s gone hard and curly at the edges.

As the spinster said to the binman!
(at night) Lorries flashing in cars/vans after being overtaken: by the time you move your hand from the steering wheel to the lever the vehicle is already 30-50m ahead of you. All you’re doing is blinding oncoming traffic for no good reason whatsoever.
Cars taking 40-60 seconds to overtake me on a motorway when I’m going 52mph
Drivers flashing their lights at traffic signals to make them change to green… That’s not how it works, tards.
Traffic lights taht switch to red every single time when they detect a vehicle approaching even if the other roads connected to the junction are traffic-free then they turn green when you’ve come to a near stop.
Fat, obese lumps of lard that waddle over the yard. The ones that stink, wear those knitwear jogging bottoms and just look an embarrassment to our industry.
Strangely they also seem to be the ones that gob of the loudest as well!
Mr. Nobody winds me up. 2 days off, leaving the truck clean and undamaged and I come in to find the sun visor cracked on the corner, unit mudguard scratched and covered in grease, trailer axle 3 n/w mudguard held on by a string of security seals tied together. Different driver each day and predictably, neither of them know anything about it as “it was like that when I came in”. Always Mr. Nobody. Well one of them gonna be in for a shock on Monday as Mr. 5000 IQ here took about 20 time-stamped photos of the unit and trailer before I went home, clearly showing that the visor was intact and the mudguards were undamaged, so one of them will be proven to be a liar.
Also the same Mr. Nobody who can’t be arsed to changed trailer bulbs when they blow. “It was like that when I came in”. Nope. It wasn’t. Mind you it’s probably safer that way as the last bloke, sorry, complete inbred clueless ■■■■ tard changed a single contact fog light bulb wth a double contact double filament bulb and couldn’t understand why it wasn’t working.

Are you saying all the facilities at Gloucester MSA are shut?
Surely it should be free overnight parking if so.
Open as usual n/b last Wednesday night, takeaway only though

Wagons parked in coach bays when theirs plenty of space in the main parking, just lazySorry bud but when running with an abnormal load then it’s coach bay for me. The days of struggling to get out of regular parking bay because Wincstobartturners have parked in the abnormal bays are long gone.
Fair enough see point I made above regarding non oversized using the abnormal bays, boils my urine to know there depriving someone who actually needs it to go for a whazz and a coffee, sums up the mentality of the average human being in 2020 I suppose.

I’m on locals tonight and we have 4 supermarket DC’s within 10 minutes drive of our yard (Asda, Tesco, Co-op and Lidl) and if I’m doing them then I’ll keep my hi vis on thank you 
People that park in lay-bys then put hazard lights on so from a distance your wandering if there in the carriageway broken down…

The punishment for driving tippers , mandatory hi viz trousers and bomber type hi viz jackets . Taking them off means driving in their undies , not a good idea given the state of some of them .

Ok, but how many vehicles have been rammed up the arse in lay bys, so at least if you/they see the hazards, they approach with more caution,.and ready to pull out if they are on the carriageway.
If it’s a narrow lay by at night, where I’m parked an inch within the line and 2 inches off the road, and if I’m only stopping to pour a coffee read a map or something, I’ll put hazards on… so guilty as charged.
Yorkielad:
People that park in lay-bys then put hazard lights on so from a distance your wandering if there in the carriageway broken down…
YES! So much this! The only excuse to do that is if they’ve broken down and to make it easier for the recovery vehicle to find them but people just don’t seem to know that you don’t have to have hazards on if you’re outside the road. Also leaving their headlights on isntead of switching to side lights and unnecessarily blinding incoming traffic or when you’re far you can’t tell they’re stopped and you switch from high to dipped only to find out you didn’t have to

There’s a massive difference between having to and choosing to. I accept that for some branches such as recovery, tipper drivers and the likes of yourself that hi vis is your actual uniform ( the last thing I wanna see is blubbery wombles driving in just their skiddies ), but some folk actually relish donning the hi vis in a kind of “look at me, look at me” way. I’m sure we’ve all seen lorry drivers in services climb out wearing their T shirts and then promptly don a hi vis simply to walk into the services. It’s a mental illness I tell ya.
