Great subject!!!
I carry the best panhandler /lot lizard defuser there is,my wife. In her 11-years as a deputy sherriff where we live she dealt with this kind of rif raf on a daily basis. Of course those skills come in handy out here on the road. Trust me I listen when she speaks, well most of the time!
We were at the Pilot in Oklahoma City one time when a lot lizard tried to get in our truck. I turned to my wife and asked shall I deal with her or you? Buddy she was right at that door in a split second. The reptile scurried away as soon as she saw my wife, but not without my wife and a OCPD officer in hot pursuit. Appearantly they had been trying to catch her and her partner all evening.
A more recent and a bit scary incident happened in Richburg,SC. We like to stay at the Ramada Limited there. Next door ther is a truckstop. I drove over to the truckstop one day before checking in at the motel to get cash.There was a young female standing behind me as I got cash from the atm. I'm always cautious but didn't think a whole lot about her being there. We drove back to the motel and as we were parking this pickup with a male and female drives right up to our truck. The same girl gets out and approached me and asked if she had anything I'd be interested in buying. My wife was still sitting in our truck. She was immediately chased off and we had the motel call the police. Come to find out, she and her boyfriend are local drug addicts and work the truckstop alot. They dont normally bother the motel though.
