Some idiot run up to the very end where the barrels are blocking then tried to moving to his left into the side step of my truck. He never made it past me and got a bit crunched. My step got bent a little but it was easy enough to bent the aluminum step back.
Cops gave him the ticket after they called for an interpitor as he was from the sandy east some where. They blocked traffic and let me go. My boss thinks i have an idiot magnet on my truck somewhere. Im starting to wonder myself.
So i got home and had a relaxing shower and shave. Going to bed early because of the stress.
I know we have good folks here. Just remember the big truck doesnt move much when you hit it. :)
