Has this happen to anybody before? Were sitting in knoxville,tn at a Pilot truck stop, we have the windows down enjoying the nice cool breeze listening to stern on the sirius radio, and all of a sudden a woman comes up to the truck and propositions herself we were dumbfounded, and told her no thanks not 10 minutes later a woman parked next to us in a pickup truck and asked the same thing again we respectively declined, and rolled the windows up put on the a.c. locked the doors pulled the drapes down and went into the sleeper.

Lot lizards, commercial beaver whatever you want to call them they are everywhere. You don't even have to turn over a rock to find one.
It seems that law enforcement has no interest in putting an end to this at truck stops.
Of course if truckers didn't pay for their services they would move on.

Wonder if putting a No Solicitation on your truck by the doors would help deter lizards? Helps keep sales people away from your house. :+
Guess you don't turn off the radio & listen to the CB, like me. The first time it happened to me, I was in the sleeper, sleeping with the curtains closed when a woman knocked on the door. She was so clearly surprised to see a woman appear in the truck window, that I thought it was funny. But like the panhandlers, there isn't anything funny about the invasion of privacy these lowlifes think nothing of committing. Now, I tell them that I will inform both management & the local gendarmes, if they do not leave the area immediately. Then I inform management, because they usually want to stop it, & will keep an eye out for the return of the scum. I don't inform the police, though, because if they did want to do something, (& I agree that many times it's not high on their list), it would only perpetuate the negative image of truckstops.
When you are forced to roll up your windows & hide, you need to do something to assert your rights, & management has an obligation to assist. If they don't agree - that's a place you don't go anymore.
It's true that it continues because some drivers welcome the "company", but at least they could make their 'dates' over the CB, & leave the rest of us alone. x(

You know last year I was sleeping at a pilot around Indy and thought I heard a knock on the door. In the morning I found two perfect hand prints and a nose print on the driver’s window – it looked like someone was looking into my window for a long time. Well got to tell you that I can’t figure out why anyone would want to look into a window that has one of those tight fitting covers placed on the inside and all you see is your reflection.
I had been proposition while on the phone with my wife, I put her on the speaker phone and she told this person that I charge too much and beside I am booked. I had to deal with the typical “I need gas†or “I need some food – got a fiver†which is 2 more than I can get by.

No matter where it happens its aggrivating if you do not want to be disturbed. Things like this have now probably happened to me 5-6 times, I can longer be a nice person as they take advantage of your carring heart. You need to shoot out of that sleeper ##### OFF as hardly anyone is gona distrub you in the middle of the night who is not doing something illegal or with that intent.
Do not open your door (I have no power to windows when key is off)
Yell back at them and hold your phone and dial 911 and tell them so.
Also yell "you touch this truck again and theres gona be BIG TROUBLE."
No I am not intrested that you have a FDX hat on your still not family
My up bringing has tought me be a nice kind carring person, but also to work for my living. 90% or more of this is for drug money, or to robb you for drug $. Keep those doors shut and locked and be ready to make alot of noise includinig AIR HORNS 911 lights flashing you name it if they do not vacate imm.... Other drivers will understand.
I have heard the stories on the CB good friend of mine had the lot lizard steal his pants and wallet while getting ready to perform Oral S on him. Boy explaine that one to your Wife, Boss, Children. Two wrongs don't make a right. All his $ I.D. and clothing gone, like whata gona do run after her? The responses were as good as the story, or the guy really wanted to stir things up being boared in the truck stop. But things happen.
BE SAFE and use your head not your heart.

Broom, he may be your good friend, but a guy with a wife, who invites lot lizards into his truck, is no better than the lizards. I'ts a shame that he doesn't have to explain that to his wife & kids - they deserve to know who he is, wouldn't you agree?
I wish I'd known the "real" guy I was married to, (for 17 yrs!) before he could rip out my heart & stomp on it, & walk away laughing, with his girlfriend.
Proof once again - what you don't know can hurt you - a lot.

Yes we have but we have a 90 lbs german shepard that meets them in the window when they knock you should see there face. 1 day in the middle of the afternoon I was in back andf my husband was sitting in the drivers seat the windows were down and 1 jumped on the passenger side the window was down, I know she had to go change her pants. She jumped from the truck and started cussing. I laughed so hard I almost had to change mine.
I'd say that you overreacted a bit... if a lizard propositions you, just say 'No thanks' and he or she will go away. I'd much rather have that happen than have a fly get inside and buzz around my head for hours. To keep lizards from knocking on your door at night, at a truckstop get those window stickers that have a drawing of a lizard with a purse and a cigarette with a red circle around it and a red line through the middle. When I was in a truck I put one of those in each side window and never got woken up again.

Lot lizards? Do they make good pets? Do you need to walk them like a dog or do you keep them in a cage with news paper? Do they bite? And do you need to take them to a vet for shots and stuff?

one must always remember to smile, laugh, and have fun, for the miles are long and boring.
But really in the month that i have been out here driving i have been aproched by two ladies of the trade. First one asked me if i needed a date and i told her "what you all are still using that line i heard that 20 years ago when i was in the army, come up with something new even McDonald changes thier adds." The second one asked if i needed company. "I pointed to the side of my truck and said no i'm happy with the company i have."
The fun part about unexpected answers is the blank look on thier faces as they try to understand your responce.
I reject your reality and subsitude it with my fantasy

I've been lucky in this area, mostly because I'm an old chubby guy that looks and is happily married but..... I'd say avoid the TA in Wildwood FL. I know the truck stop management isn't supposed to condone this stuff going on in their lot but they have to be in on it at this one. I pulled in there late one night and went right to bed. At about 3AM I hear banging on my door and look out through my curtain. Yep - there's one on my step and a bunch of scantily clad female types all over the lot. I'm usually fairly even tempered but no-one likes to wake up after only 2 hours of well earned sleep. I'm afraid I was less than congenial with the young lady at my door.
What were they thinking? You have to have the IQ of naval lint to think someone would like to be woke up at 3AM to be offered an opportunity for venerial disease.

That Flying J in Knoxville is disgusting in many ways, let alone the
distractions outside. It constantly stinks, the floors are sticky,
the tv room is really gross and the people who work there are incompetent. I'm not really a complainer but I had to send one of those comment cards in to the corp. office to let them know what I think. I hope it works.

Sheri, this was a story on a CB I heard I do not have any friends that have been in this situation. Lot Lizards are not nearly as annoying as beggers. Oh here I am stuck, being a Christian and all me and my family were hoping we could count on you since you see I have this sobb story with this FECC hat as why I lost my last dime and I am counting on you my Christian brother to bail me out (support my drug habbit). Like I have stupid imprinted on my forehead from wearing my hat backwards.
Darn right I am gona make alot of noise, cause he the druggy is gona knock on everyones door and wake us all up one at a time. Better I bring attention and watch him run like crap and if anyone asks why I did them all a favor.
These so called drug addicts, there is also in Luke "No Christian will beg for bread." If anyone knows the exact Chapter plese post it I would love to memorize it word for word.

PS I even have a sticker on my door with a heart followed by MY WIFE. Now you gotta be pretty stupid to want to sell sex with a guy who is bold enough to post a sign on his door with that.
