Goldfinger:
Tell that stupid ■■■■■ of your girl, you may only be a trucker but you see more of the country in a week or month that they will never see in their lifetime!
You’re not stuck in an office ‘pressure cooker’ type environment, and looking at the same 4 walls day in day out.
Just remind her…
IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT!!! You ignorant wench!
Or according to her, the fairies brought it.
Yes that will make them think better of you.
Why do some drivers have this misconception that they are the best thing since sliced bread? I drive for a living but I know what I am. I don’t go round saying “I’m a lorry driver, I’m so important. If it wasn’t for me, you’d have no milk in your fridge. Come to think of it, you wouldn’t even have a fridge.”
I get paid to sit on my arse and listen to music. It’s not rocket science.
I met my honey’s parents a few months ago. Her mom isn’t sure of me at all, but that is, I’m told, because her mom liked her ex and he turned out to be a real ■■■. I may be an ■■■■■■■ truck driver, but they do know that I treat her like a princess and will never cause harm, they just find it hard to believe, and part of that is because of what I do for a living. Her dad is blind, supposedly, although he looked me straight in the eye when I met him and asked “And you know Carla how?”. that was pretty much the extent of the conversation.
In honesty, the folks will either come around fast or slow, but they will come around. Treat your girl as if she were everything and show the world we dirty, hairy truck drivers are not ALL bad…
Failing that, buy a smaller turkey for Christmas and just have a cosy time between yourselves.

I mean’t ‘Parent of your girl’
And I know bought it, brought it etc. h
But a bit of coutesey would be nice. We all have a job to do.
Had this with my ex’s family friend. Not her parents but her mums friend. When I said I wanted to become a truck driver, her opinion on me changed like a click of a finger. When she decided to take me to one side to have ago, she came out with
‘Do you really think she’s going to stick around if you’re away all the time’ which shocked me but not half as much when she said I should join the army instead
I just told her she was off her ■■■■ to think I would be fit enough for the army, and if you marry into the army, then you can marry into the truck driver ‘lifestyle’ and if she doesn’t like it the door is there.
Not seen her since that day to be honest Just ask them since when were they gods gift? They should be thankful you’re in a job and not scrounging off the tax payer Then again people are stupid and believe any old crap they hear or see on the news or newspaper. But like has been said, so long as you and the OH are happy who gives a ■■■■. Least it makes christmas more fun

I knew a PO Stoker who kept a wheel spanner on the mantlepiece.
If any of his daughters potential suitors recognised the item, he booted them out of the door.
(old Navy joke, sorry)

Few years ago a certain WO stoker was my neighbour. He had a very attractive 17 year old daughter that a very young stoker was trying to get his evil way with.
They were becoming very close until Dad happened to hear that young stokes had been out shagging the grannies the previous evening.

He never did set foot in that house again.
We ex Stokers never change… I try to shag a granny most nights when I’m home Hahaha…
At least you’ve got a job , & you ain’t one the thousands of dole dossers living off other peoples earnings!! , dunno whats up with people when they think there better than everyone else , we all came into this world same way , & we all go out of it same way…with nowt !!! . Surley your girl freind is able to make up her own mind isn’t she, & do the parents actually relize the amount of legislation we have to abide to, & what it costs us from day 1, when we first decide to become a driver, - in order for them to go shopping & stuff, perhaps they have ‘tunnel vision’, & stuck in their own world
Next time your due to go around to visit them give you’d lass a good seeing to till she’s sore and cannot walk or sit properly her mother will see the signs and be impressed maybe even green faced could get some mother in law loving in of even if not too serious about girl could get mother and daughter action mmm
