Truck stop

I was making my way home down the M4 yesterday a little later than usual. Traffic was heavy and as usual people were randomly breaking and frightening the shit outta me!
Why do they do that? One of these days that’s gonna cause a crash and yesterday was one of these days.
So sitting in traffic or should I say a sudden free car park I noticed a truck stopped in the hard shoulder. Always wondered why it is called the hard shoulder, was it mean once and wouldn’t let someone cry on it?
(If so I would have called it a mean shoulder and moved on but I digress)
So more exactly there was the cab part of a truck in the hard shoulder and a disgruntled looking truck driver shouting into a mobile phone. He hung up and I heard him mutter, “Fucking kippy piece of shite”.
He went to the cab and took out a box; I’m assuming contained tools and walked to the back of the cab. He then did what ever it is that do that makes the whole cab tip forward and leaned in under the cab to have a look.
“Fuck it “I heard him murmur, having moved a little in my car park I was closer to him.
He took out a wrench and leaned back in under the cab in an attempt to fix what ever was causing the problem.
“I swear to god this has been the worst fuckin’ day” he muttered.
Suddenly the cab closed down on top of him and the Truck burped!
“Jesus” said the truck “I thought He’d never shut up, tasty though”
Thankfully at that moment the road cleared and away I drove…..quickly…….lest he still be hungry!
