Had a lizard try to win me over at the Milford, CT Pilot a few nights ago by removing her dentures. Seriously?!?! LOL!!!!!
What's the strangest lizard moment you guys have had?
I was empty in Chicago, & was going to go home, but they told me to pick up a load & go park somewhere & wait for a guy who wasn't able to get unloaded quickly enough to pick that load up before the shipper closed. So I went & got that guy's load & was told to wait for him at the Hugo Chavez truck stop (Now a BP) on Pershing in Chicago.
I was waiting for that guy for 3 hours, and during those 3 hours (in broad daylight) I had 6 lot lizards approach the truck. I shoo'ed them all away. But the last one was the funniest.
I was sitting in the drivers seat talking to a friend on the phone, and wasn't really paying attention to what was going on outside the truck. All of a sudden in my peripheral vision I noticed someone approaching the truck. I was waiting for an old gray haired guy, according to dispatch, so I looked over to see if it was him.
It was this woman probably in her 40's or 50's, skinny, black hair with gray mixed in, and the nastiest looking thing I'd ever seen. EVER. She looked like a corpse. And I'm not exaggerating at all. She actually resembled former attorney general Janet Reno. If Janet Reno died, and her corpse was left lying face-up in the middle of a desert for 3 weeks, ... her rotting corpse would look just like that lot lizard that was approaching my truck. It almost looked like she was wearing a Halloween mask. It was kind of startling, and I said to my friend on the phone "OMFG YOU SHOULD SEE THIS NASTY-ASS LOT LIZARD, SHE'S THE UGLIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN, SHE LOOKS LIKE A ****ING ZOMBIE OR SOMETHING".
Well I had forgotten that my window was rolled all the way down. She heard me say that and did a complete 180 & went back towards wherever she came from.
About a month later I was empty & had just gotten the trailer washed out at Tulsa Power at Ashland & Pershing & was headed down Pershing towards the Dan Ryan to go home for the weekend & I saw that same lot lizard standing on a corner about a block away from that Hugo Chavez truck stop & she was looking right at the windshield of the truck with this smile on her face, wiggling her hips, trying to "advertise". I was laughing and hoping the next traffic light stayed green.
