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.

On a twenty five year run, covering the SE USA/Gulf Coast ( N Carolina to Texas),Mexico and the Caribbean...the stories are too much for this forum after dinner tonight with customers in Pensacola. It's a good living, but the travel ain't glamorous. 7 more years and I hope I never see another airport,rental car, hotel or restaurant again.

No one asked you to. You'd probably have trouble sounding out all the words anyway.

Many years ago while outta town, one of the crew decided he needed some weed.
Got in a work van and went to the local MLK boulevard where weed salesmen can always be found. He soon found a sales exec. and gave him a 20.
Upon receipt of his baggie, much to his dismay, he found that he had bought a handful of weed pulled from between the cracks in the parking lot.

He protested,
"Yo Man! This ain't weed."

The salesman pulled his gat, leveled it sideways at the crewmans' head and told him in a sinister voice,
" It gonna be weed tonight!"

With that, the crewman left with 20 dollars of prime Bermuda.

We always had a guitar and an XBox/Playstation. One time we had like a week long NCAA Football tournament where we could only use teams under a 70 rating overall. I had UL Monroe and one guy had Air Force. Its definitely a different world on the road and definitely a different pace of life.

I think its a good experience to work with a wide range of people in your younger years to see how they work, live, and respond to life's problems.

Damn bro, sounds rough if you have a family.

I travel between 20 and 25 weeks a year. A little less than every other week. It is not easy on the family, but I believe it has mad my marriage strong. After a week on the road, the wife and I ravage each other. Something about, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
