Waiting room myths

We’ve all heard em

“Yeah mate I refused to get off the bay because I ran out of time, motorway coppers came and marked my wheels, told them not to disturb me till I had my rest”.

“Yeah mate, driver I know went to queen Street Newcastle upon Tyne, should have been Newcastle under Lyme.”

Yeah mate , so, I thought sod this and just drove straight through the barrier”.

What myths have you heard in the waiting rooms of the UK whilst Talking to that EX SAS guy who decided all those years of high end planning and implementing derring do across all continents was going to be a great asset to him as he drives now for D&R Trotter on a tilt that he apparently ropes and sheets.

On the rare occasions I do supermarket rdc.s, (maybe the odd Saturday morning) I just either ‘sneak’ back to my cab, or if I have to endure a waiting room I just sink down in seat, try and keep a low profile, collar up and have my earphones in watching summet on my phone…..so I basically hear no drivercrap at all.:smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Ya daring B*****d sneaking into your cab. It’s a slippy slope from sneaking into your cab to not wearing a helmet to walk across a flat surfaced yard.

A few times I’ve heard some combination of:

I told the security guard I’d knock him out

I dragged the security guard out of his window, and knocked him out

The security guard wouldn’t let me go until he searched my cab…..

… so I knocked him out.

If it’s not the security guard, it’s the shunter or the goods in clerk.

Yeah, there must be a lot of knocked out security dudes out there

I wonder if there’s a security guard restroom where there’s a myth about all those knocked out drivers.

Not myth as such..get talking to a guy ask where they work
They tell you then spend next half hour saying where they work is pants rubbish run you ragged managers are useless etc.
Then say they have worked there for 30 plus years. I think if there that bad why don’t they leave

When you’re in a RDC waiting room there’s at least one ex SAS member who was on the balcony
