a. did he wink at you when he said "OLD" ?
b. did he wink at you when he said "YOU know" ?
c. did he wink at any time ?
d. was he wearing a black enamel pin that said "Ramrod Bar and Saloon" ?
e. did he drive a truck for "Miss Kitty's Olde Tyme Saloon and Bar" ?
f. were you attracted to him?
g. were you NOT attracted to him?

This brings up so many questions... Jason_els seems to have noticed a telling clue... he did not explain his reference. Rather questionable at that point and would have made me suspicious. Your instincts were right to head out of there, especially if you found this all unappealing. It isn't all about the words people use, as body language, tone of voice, etc., all have a way of telling us things that words sometimes can't.

Also, the fact that he was trying to establish eye contact with you at a urinal is another red flag. You're not supposed to make eye contact with the stranger in the urinal next to you. It's a basic rule of urinal etiquette!

This reminds me of a time I rented a DVD from a local video store. I was the only customer at the store. So during checkout time, the video store clerk (who was a guy) asked me if I was a "BIG TIPPER". I just shrugged it off because at the time I thought he was commenting on how little money he makes. That clerk hasn't asked me that question in subsequent visits. Was he trying to sell me drugs, or is this another variation of the "OLD TIME SALOON"??? Hmm....

The problem here is over analyzing the whole thing.

I think he wanted to get it on. Picking the urinal next to you was obvious and the question must be trucker code for "do you play?"

If it's TRUCKER CODE... that would be the first time in all my years driving that I've heard it.

But isn't it that a requirement of gay slang? That it must be reasonably mistakable for something else? Otherwise why not just come out and ask, "Hey can I suck your cock?"

Here's the thing, if the driver was going to be as blatant as to hit on this guy where there was a chance that another driver would see or hear him, he'd have stepped back from the urinal, and shook it at him. The chances of this driver being so bold are slim and none. You have to remember, this is his job he's protecting. If we do something that is perceived as 'different' it would take just one person to call our company and complain and that would be the end of the job. Your company could/would do a DAC report on you and that would be the end of your driving career. Drivers have no access to their DAC and, companies are at liberty to put anything they want there.

What gets me isn't that he violated the Urinal Rules but that he asked you the same question twice without explaining what he meant. "You know, an old time saloon." It's gotta be code! It was clear you didn't understand the term yet he said it again with emphasis when any one else would have either changed the term or added something to make himself clearer, "...an old time saloon; a western bar, has swinging doors, that kind of thing."

He didn't.

Dude, you were SO cruised.

Okay, follow me on this. This driver just came in to the truckstop and had to piss. He had just completed a 500 mile leg on his run and during this time was listening to an audio book. Drivers, not me I can't stand them, but drivers on the whole like to listen to western book, i.e. Louis Lamour. Maybe this is one part of that book that interested him was the Saloon. I've said previously how we don't have any human contact for long stretches at a time. When you're reading book and you come to a place in that book that really excites you or peeks you're interest, you talk with someone about it. We don't have that luxury.

Nothing I've said is going to change anyone's mind I know that but, from all I've read on this thread, he wasn't cruising him, hitting on him or soliciting him in any way. If you want to know what a truck drivers life is like ask one. You'd be surprised what is entailed in our job. We don't just move an 80,000 lbs piece of steel down the road.

Old Time Saloon...Old Time Saloon.

Maybe. These are just suppositions... He wanted to take you to the roller disco for a few A&W Root Beers. Crack jokes. And discuss and reenact each other's favorite lines and scenes from Brokeback Mountain.

THEN, go to the honky tonk to score some biker chicks. :smile:

One more thing I don't remember reading here, were you in the truckers lounge area or in the general public area? If you were in the truckers only area... what is all this about? You WERE there looking for trucker dick... and when one made a move... you freaked.... which was it?

Perhaps it wasn't sexual at all! Perhaps .... he thought that you were an agent that he was supposed to be rendezvousing with, and he was going to pass along a flash-drive full of top secret documents (if it was the 60's it would have been microfilm! :eek: ) and he was speaking to you in code, and he was waiting for you to answer back with the proper reply? :mischievous:

Perhaps you misheard him, was he in fact a big burly hairdresser dissing your do...

Was he indeed asking about the "Old Time Salon"?

I suggest you go back and wait for him and ask him straight out! If you can't find him perhaps it's worth asking other Truckers you meet the same question, that my answer you "queeries"
