Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about truck stop and interstate employees' most bizarre stories from their days on the job. It shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that those long, winding, dark roads are filled to the brim with all kinds of unexpected characters. Truck stop employees can really be put through the rounder. As will happen in these kinds of threads, we've got plenty of accounts from people that didn't work at truck stops, but were just passing through. That story about the mayfly hatch madness is something else.

This guy found out someone had been using his account and charging his debit card, but then realized he had the ability to give the interloper a headache. Hopefully they have some Dutch DVDs to pass the time? It's rare, but sometimes people in these situations actually manage to get the upper hand, like this guy who hacked a scammer.

From the YouTube description:
We were sitting at a train track today on our way from West Monroe, LA to Memphis when we notice a tractor trailer with a crane stuck on the train tracks. Then the train crossing lights came on and I grabbed the camera as the train smashed into the crane. We are getting a lot of comments about how we should have called 911 instead of filming. There was no need as we were sitting right in front of the police station. Believe me, they heard the crash and came running out. By the time we were able to go around the train and get to the other side, the police were over there and the driver of the truck was there as well. He is fine but we understand that the train engineers were in pretty bad shape. The thoughts and prayers of David's Garden Seeds And Products are with them. We pray that God will heal them. At the time of the crash, we were in shock and I had no idea what had come out of my mouth until I played the video back....you just don't know how you will react to tragedy that unfolds right before your eyes until it happens. I did not shoot this with a Smart Phone. I shot it with a Flip camera.
