When you trying to get home on Friday and all the little things go wrong. My last three Walmarts, one there’s a bread truck parked in the corner as you try to go around the building blocking the way and of course I’m behind the building with tight corners so no backing out. Next one there’s a truck ahead of me loading used tires and I’m guessing he’s paid by the hour because he was in no hurry at all And the last stop with 140 tires only has one guy to receive them and he hast to catch up outside and walk them inside the store. Then of course when you get all mad 30 there’s a wreck and construction coming out a little rock. I think I’ve got five minutes to spare though I’ll use them all.

Sorry brother, we've all been there. Especially frustrating when there's something you really need to get home for. Keep your head.

I've noticed every time I've picked up a damaged trailer, had a flat tire, or broke down it's always on Friday when I'm trying to get home. I've also noticed that after the first couple of times, I just learned to roll with it. What else can ya do?

Oh that’s all we can do. My favorite time is when ya check in and they say, “You’re not in a hurry are you?” Well, as a matter of fact I AM. Haha

That's the RUNNING JOKE.

We ALL want to get in/out as quickly as possible. Wheels don't make $$ when they're not turning.

"No, take your time - I get paid by the hour too" would be my response (if I actually got paid by the hour)...
