MY SOLUTION FOR LOT LIZARDS
 

WHEN I GET THE SATISFACTION OF JOINING THE OTHER LADIES ON THE ROAD, I AM GOING TO THE POUND AND ADOPT THE BIGGEST HOUND DOG THERE. NOW THAT I'VE SAID THAT I WANT TO SAY HI TO EVERYONE. I JUST FOUND THIS PLACE TODAY. I HOPEFULLY WILL GO TO TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOL THIS YEAR. I'M WAITING FOR A WAIVER FOR MY RIGHT EYE. I WILL ONLY GET TO DRIVE IN INDIANA, BUT I DON'T CARE . I HAVE WANTED TO DO THIS SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL. I COULDN'T DO IT UNTIL NOW BECAUSE OF THE ABUSIVE, CONTROLLING MEN I MARRIED. I HAVE A HUSBAND NOW WHO COMPLETELY SUPPORTS MY DREAM. YOU LADIES ALL BE CAREFUL, HAVE A SAFE TRIP AND GOD BLESS ALL TRUCKERS :D

Welcome..please use lower case. You are screaming at us... :lol:

I have to admit it. If they looked good enough we might do business. If she looked good and I didn't what kind of man would that make me?

Please forgive me
 

I am sorry everyone. I am computer stupid and did not know I was yelling. I hope you can forgive me. I promise to try not to offend next time. Thanks for telling me and again I am sorry for yelling. :oops: :nervous:

I dont mind them so much. I dont partake in their services as I am happily married. I have had a few ask to use my radio or to come in and warm up. I usually let them and chat a bit about things, its nice company sometimes. I just ignore them if I am in the sleeper.
I once has one say she was starving to death and just wanted food, I bought her dinner and we chatted, it was nice. She asked me a few times if I was sure she couldnt do some commercial for me to repay, I really got a kick out of that, she called it doing commercial.
They are people too and prostitution has not always been shunned, it is the worlds oldest profession.
Some are just nice people trying to earn some coin the easiest way they can.

I knew a driver with about the same story as that one James, not calling you a liar, but he was eventually locked up for allowing an undercover cop dressed as a lizard to so called "climb in to warm up". Society will get you with anything they can dig up on ya, even if it is in a good hearted manner.

And to those asking WHERE are we running into lizards, like they have never seen one anywhere, please fellas, you're selectively blind, or local drivers, because in a three year stretch on the road I saw them in 7 out of 10 truck-stops coast to coast, and were they aren't, you will still have your panhandlers, sob story dollar collectors, and cops posing as all mentioned, trying to make you famous in they're local paper.

All in all, just don't open the door for anyone who doesn't where a badge out there, just too much to loose anymore, when the world is after you.

(Not paranoid, just careful)

Just the other week, I was approached. When she knocked on my sleeper and I stuck my head out, I told her that " I DO NOT CHEAT ON MY WIFE". As I was rolling the window back up, she got a smile on her face and said: "I WANT YOU." I went back to bed.

I'm not sure what time it was, but I suddenly realized I had company. Any idea just how hard it is to get a half-naked girl out of your truck???

I've now fixed my door lock. It won't happen again.

I'll be glad when I get hired..I'll go for a little parking lot action. :lol: :lol:

Re: Lot Lizzard Solution!!!
 

Just post a picture of yourself in the window! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry, just kidding! If yours won't do the job, I'll send you one of ME!! GUARANTEED to work!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

or a picture of me
 

just after I get out of bed while I am having a migraine, my back and jaw are killing me and I am having a massive asthma/allergy attack should work.

I always used one of those "No Lot Lizards" stickers that you plaster on the driver's window, and that worked about 90% of the time. I still got bothered sometimes, however, and would get woken up once in a while seemingly just as I was drifting off to sleep.

Common sense always told me, however, "Anyone knocking softly on my door at 0300 in the morning is obviously someone that I don't know." I would just ignore them, and try to sleep through their racket, and they would eventually go away. If a truck is idling in the truck stop, they can't know for sure if there is someone inside of it or if the driver is inside the truck stop.

Bad places... the absolute worst for disturbances of every kind at all godawful hours of the day and night was the former ?"Jake's Red Ball"? there in Charlotte, N.C.... betwixt the crack dealers, the jewelry sellers, and the toothless crack-ho's banging on your doors ever 20-30 minutes, there was no way humanly possible to get more than a half-hour's sleep at one-time. Also... they were viable candidates for the absolute worst showers of possibly anywhere in the nation.

Weirdest lot lizard experience.... ?????

Once was parked mid-afternoon at a "pickle park" on I-20 betwixt Dallas and Shreveport and a car pulled up next to me in the truck parking with three very obviously teen-aged girls and a 60-something African-American fella with either an untreated case of Tourret's syndrome or a helluva case of Parkinson's because he was twitching and drooling all over the back seat of the car. As I was filling out my doctored log-book so I could get up in 3 hours and go on another 500 miles in to the receiver, one of the kids wanders over to my truck and knocks at the door, and I just pointed at the aforementioned "Lot Lizard" sticker and waved my hand no. My wife was in the sleeper trying to sleep and asked me who was knocking at the door and I told her somebody's kid., This kid went to the next truck and achieved success in her vocational and existential efforts, but she was in there for less than a couple of minutes before she came out of there cursing and tossing her purse this way and then commenced to kicking off her flip-flops and stripping of her clothes and started running out into the Interstate with her arms spread a-la John J. Dunbar at the beginning of the movie "Dances With Wolves" when he tries to become a "suicide."

I grabbed the mic and called on the CB, "Eastbound, back it down, you got a naked girl running down the middle of the Interstate."

The CB came alive with calls of "What's the 20 on the naked girl?"

I was so tired I couldn't see straight, but I released the brakes and got the hell out of there.

The rule is though, "If they're knocking on your door at 3 in the morning... you obviously don't know them."

Never forget the three kinds of knocks on a truck door... the "highway patrol knock, the "lot lizard knock " and the fellow driver knock.? :wink:

suprisingly enough, all i've had to do is shake my head no and no one bugged me as of yet

I made the mistake of looking out the window in the back corner. The lot-lizard saw me look I guess and came back the second time and kept knocking quite a while. Finally she went away and I almost got back to sleep when she came back again. I decided to go to the window and tell her to go away. I rolled the window just alittle and couldn't see her till I looked in the mirror. I guess that's why she kept bothering me cause she could see me look out the first time she knocked because of where she stood. When I rolled the window dn alittle and she realized I was a woman she asked me if I could tell her what time it was. She looked like a 14 yr. old. But she did go away then. I'm thinking of getting a sign that says something on it to keep em from knocking if that's possible. I hate getting woke up like that cause it takes me hr. to fall back to sleep. Its a shame girls and women end up doing what they have to survive in this world. I been beat up by life at times myself but surely cannot see how a women can get to the point of prostitution. I have to think maybe some are mentally ill or something.

Why not???????????? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:


(Just kidding...)

i've never had one knock on my door fortunately.

I have, however, had them follow me around and then after i'm done backing in, start soliciting.

Instead of responding with anger, my "solution" is to talk to them. Try to get them off the streets somehow. Let 'em know there are other ways.

I will discuss more when my schedule permits.

Thank you.

:oops: :oops: In the meantime since the last post... I've thought of another "Lot Lizard" experience... rather, a case of mistaken "Lot Lizard..." I was due to swap a trailer out with a driver in SLC, and I got there early and went to bed there at the Flying Hook....

...about 3 am, somebody is knocking on my door and I jumped up thinking it was the other driver... There was a middle-aged woman standing out there on the pavement beside the truck and I rolled down my window partway and said politely.. "Ma'am, I'm not interested..."

"I'M THE OTHER &*^%*(&%^ US XPRESS DRIVER!!!!!!" She practically screamed at me.... :oops: :oops: It was one of those situations where I felt I had some 'splainin' to do... She was cool about it though.

Needless to say, after we swapped trailers.. I got out of there... :oops:

:wink:

Oops!!!! :roll:

Talking to them will do no good. The only time they are off of the street is when they are in the cab of someone's truck

bad place for lizzards is at the TA on the south side of Nashville Tn. but the way i have found that works the best is get an empty purse and leave it on the dash for them to see.

Lot Lizards
 

A few months ago, in Dallas, at one of their oh so nasty truck stops my wife and I were sitting in the truck eating dinner, it was early in the evening. We noticed a semi-decent looking young woman getting out of one of the trucks wearing a mini-skirt. She proceeds to walk over to a nasty looking water puddle on the corner and squats over it. My wife and I look at each other like what the heck? She proceeded to wash herself off between her legs. :shock: :nervous: I thought my wife was going to puke all over the dash, she was gagging. The thought of having a lot lizard that has had some of these truckers was disgusting enough for me, but that cured me of ever having any desire what so ever even if I was single for twenty years.

In Phoenix they have a saying about prostitutes, if she is pretty then she probably has bigger balls than you or is a undercover! They like to make an example out of the johns there.

Just ask Danny Bonaduce from the Patridge Family show, he was arrested in Phoenix for beating the crap out of a prostitute when "he" informed Bonaduce (after services were rendered) that "he" was not a "she".

ewwww!
that is so gross :shock:

i had one knock on the door in nashville, but when she saw it was a woman she walked, then just as i got back to sleep i could feel the truck rocking and a man had jumped up on the passenger side. another driver had seen him and called for me on the cb, and when i reached for it the guy jumped down. the other driver who saw him told me i should leave, but at 2 am and dead tired i couldn't. so i ended up moving spaces closer to him and another guy and they watched over me for the rest of the night. and they wouldn't even let me buy them breakfast in the morning. :? i couldn't thank them enough!

Don't you ever wonder what the cops are doing to take these lot lizards off the streets.

You must not go anywhere, I've been driving about 6 months now and I've seen more than I ever wanted to... lizzards climbing on the truck, stolen jewlery peddlers, bums begging for cash, people wanting to wash or polish your truck for $20, ect.

And, you run CHICAGO too, don't you?

Unfortunately :lol:

This is what the Senate Judiciary Committee is trying to do.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/06/...tax/index.html

They want to get pimps and prostitutes for tax evasion :!: :shock:

Another politician using the IRS as a tool and weapon. Don?t get me wrong I?m not down with sex trafficking of young girls but this looks like another grandstanding moment and another diversion; why not send the IRS after people that employ illegal aliens? No they look the other way to that. My personal opinion, the IRS needs to be abolished and the fair tax system put in place.

A friend of mine uses his piss-bottle as his lot-lizard repellent !! rolls down the window when approched and dumps it right on them .

now now, did he say if it back fores n him sometimes? i would imagine a few could deduce that as a "Golden Dunk". "yuk, yuk, yuk" i know a lame attempt at a funny :lol:

LOL :lol: :lol:

I've seen a guy that has those no lot lizard signs and one that says this driver doesn't have any cash, he is married, lol, wonder if they get the hint.

Thats a good way to wake up to a bunch of flat tires and cut pigtails. :wink:

I was walking on Geary St. in San Francisco - a hooker asked me if I wanted to party. I told her I doubt she could afford me. She left in a huff 8)

I've encountered them at a Pilot in Oklahoma, the Flying J in Davenport, Iowa, the Pilot in Eloy, Arizona, the Tucson Truck Terminal in Tucson, Arizona, the TA in Youngstown, Ohio, and the Flying J in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I just tell them I'm not interested.

The truckstop next to the TA just north of harrisburg(i think its hershey PA) is horrible.... probably the worst ive ever seen

the Hook in OK City
TA in Gary/chicago
Pilot in Charlotte
Wilco at mm 205 I-81 in VA(surprisingly so)
TA Montgomery, AL
TA Ontario, CA
TA Jessup(2nd worst..that whole 5 square miles around that TA is bad)
Most truckstops named TA in any city :D :D

The little Lizard with like no smoking like symbol over the lot lizard seems to work for me. I've had them knock on my door quite a few times. One girl saw I was a girl and acted kinda embarrassed and then ask if I knew what time it was. I normally ignore the knocks but this one knocked then just as I got back to sleep knocked again. The third time is when I answered. She didn't look like she was more then 13 or 14. I had a guy knock once when I had my husband along. I answered the door cause it was a snow storm up in New York state and I thought something was wrong and I thought it was another driver. He said he was a driver and he had broke down and needed money to get a bus ticket or something like that. I was half asleep but I told him I didn't have any money. I couldn't believe it was a guy knocking. The guys were talking on the radio in morning and said he wasn't a driver and he was just out begging for money. Crazy world we live in when a able bodied man is going around in a truck stop begging for money. Who knows maybe he was a alcoholic or druggy.

Not sure if you realize this threa was a year and a half old or not...but just for my 2 cents my trainer taped the top part of a DO NOT DISTURB sign from a hotel on both side windows on his truck, he said he never had any problem from lot lizzards after that.

I'm surprised no one has thought of putting creative signs in their windows like;

"Knock on this door, and you'll meet Smith & Wesson."

Or,

"Knock on this door, and you'll get a taste of Mace."

Or,

"Want to meet my Guard Dog?... Go ahead and knock." :twisted:

Or,

"GUARD DOG ON DUTY, and he likes his sleep. DO NOT DISTURB!"

Or,

"Go ahead and knock... Make my day!"
(Have a picture of Clint Eastwood pointing a gun at them above the wording.) :lol: 8)

Or,

"NO HOOKERS, NO BEGGERS, NO MONEY, NO KNOCKING!"

Or,

"Touch this truck, and it will be the last thing you do!" :twisted:
~~~~~~~~~~ DO NOT DISTURB! ~~~~~~~~~~

Or,

"The only crack I want to see, is the crack of DAWN!"
"NO SOLICITING, DO NOT DISTURB!"
(Have a picture of a sun rise above the wording).


I'm sure there are many more creative, and funny signs that could be placed in the windows of your trucks... :lol: :wink:

Just thought I'd throw some humorous ones into the mix here... :lol:

Funny Red Raven I haven't thought of just posting signs like that. That makes alot of sence. I really didn't notice this thread being that old. Oh well, I learned something new from Red Raven. The day should go well.

I've only had a couple of experiences with lot lizards.

The first ones weren't even prostitutes at all. A couple of really hot young chicks were driving around the truck stop, checking out the drivers. They stopped in front of my truck and one of them came to the driver's door. I alerted my wife in the back and we made plans for me to start negotiations, then she would "flip out" and chase them off. I rolled down the window and the woman (who I now saw was holding a bible) said, "Hi, we're from the bible school of..." Damn. Not lot lizards, but bible lizards. I said no thanks and she walked away. I realized later that what I should have done was leer at her and ask, "How much for a little Leviticus?"

The second time, a woman climbed up to the driver's window while I was waiting for fuel. She was in her 50s, ugly as hell, and had several teeth. She was hungry and $18 short for her rent money, and could I help her out? No, I couldn't. "Oh, wow," she said, pointing to the snack I had on the dashboard, "Are those animal crackers? I haven't seen those for ages? Can I have some?"

At this point I started feeling sorry for her. Was she *really* so down on her luck and hungry that she was forced to solicit truck drivers waiting for fuel? I gave her the rest of the animal crackers and a few cigarettes (but no money), and she went on her way.

When I started driving solo my wife bought me a present for the road: a box of animal crackers and a package of condoms.
