Stories from working on the road

Prior to taking a job that required pretty constant travel I never realized how many dumbasses there are in the world and how many grown men are straight up crybabies. It was cool at first because it was mostly alot of 20-25 year olds with no kids or anything and we'd bust arse all day, go eat good food that night, and play video games and basketball and shite. Kind of a college atmosphere. But then the economy got better so we got alot of trashy guys because the good baws got families and better jobs. Because of that, I got a solo position with the company until I eventually quit to move.
Had one guy complain for days because the "hotel toilet paper was too rough." He then cheated on his wife, she found out, kicked his arse out that weekend, he tried to stay home to fix shite and got fired after a week in which he was late to the site every single day.
Had one trashy frick that'd ask customers for cigarettes all the time.
One baw was a raging alcoholic, got confronted by our manager (who drove up just to confront him) one morning after he didnt wake up to work. Baw would start shaking when we got close to a gas station where he could buy beer on our way back to the hotel in the evenings. He'd drink 14 or 15 beers in a night and eat Hot Pockets for supper after working 12-14 hours. Later he got fired for driving his company truck drunk as hell after calling in sick that day.
This one baw was a special kind of cuck. His wife and her ex husband lived in said baw's house and were obviously fricking like rabbits while he was on the road. She controlled the money and gave him a $20 bill every Monday morning for the entire week. She once told him to work the weekend because "she wasnt ready for him to come home." He said she cheated on him before but that they were "working thru it." The real kicker was he said "the IRS" called him and said he owed $2100 in back taxes. Everyone told him it was an obvious scam but he said he'd rather be safe than sorry and paid them.
Sorry for the ramble, was kind of bored and remembered all that shite for some reason lol

One thing you learn to appreciate is good water. In Baton Rouge, for all its faults, the water is amazing.
You don’t know how true this is until you’ve had really bad water. Like makes New Orleans water look tasty bad.
Sweeney Texas on a turnaround in a cat cracker. Only gringo on the crew. Pouring sweat and exhausted and aching but you’d still have to choke the water down because it tasted grey. They said it was potable but god it was the foulest, worst tasting thing ever. And when you’d shower with it you’d come away feeling dirtier somehow, as if there was some invisible film it left on you.

I travel a bit for work. I work with generally classy, high moral, well-behaved people so no stories like that here.
The only real story I can tell that was kind of memorable was that when we were in Virginia, a co-worker had to go take a dump but the bathrooms where we were were not functioning. So he drove the 5-8 minutes down the road to our hotel. Well he was gone well in excess of an hour. When he got back I asked if he got lost, and he said no he just got caught up watching South Park in the hotel room

Strip club was adjacent to a hotel in Boston. Bad idea to keep the crew there. The fun eneded when all the guys had almost exactly the same story but the difference was everyone fricked the tranny but the person telling the story.

Baw installing some shite at our location had a well equipped fitness center at his hotel.
He did too many calf raises and couldn't get out of bed the next day. His company had to send somebody to drive him home.

Was working on the road and eating at a fine diner. One would even call it an all you can eat asian buffet. Well I get my food and sit down first, and a table across from us (coworker is there too) is some older blond chick (prob 50-60) and she immediately starts talking to me. For most of the conversation I thought she was talking to someone else or was on the phone, but nope she was talking to me. 
It progressed into a much more entertaining night.
I'll just list out some of the things she said to us and the others in that area.
First there was chinese script all over the walls. She proceeded to ask me if I knew what it said, then my coworker and then others sitting down around us.
She also kept yelling out real loud about the shrimp having shite in them and not being de-veined. She said the other chinese place up the road (not sure there is another one) always de-veined their shrimp.
Before getting up for another plate she casually told me and the coworker (65 yrs old and FAT) that she "is fertile". She also later said that it would be nice to get some toiletries. (she had a bookbag with her and pretty sure she was homeless or close too it).
Also there was another couple that came in later and sat behind us and she asked my coworker out of the blue "So you said that (pointing to the woman behind us) is your daughter?" Coworker starts busting out laughing, like WTF?
She was also complaining about having to pay the dinner buffet price instead of the lunch price (makes me believe that she was there since the end of lunch time).
Also baws, I'm not going to lie, but if I were by myself, I would have been tempted to see just how fertile she really was. She was skinny and a blond but damn if she wasn't 100% batshit crazy and no telling what STDs she has. Later on (probably weeks), I ended up seeing her again just riding around and when I did see her she was sitting on off the sidewalk leaning back laughing it up. She was also by herself.
