hello. We had an unkind encounter with an ice cream truck today. Generally we love the trucks because our grandchildren live in our Blue Mtn neighborhood and delight in the trucks. This afternoon we were driving down our road and the truck was stopped in the middle of the road serving a family. We waited. When he was done serving we kept waiting. After a period of time we determined he was standing there counting his cash box. We pulled closer to get his attention, he looked up and then kept counting his bills. Far too much time had passed to be blocking a road with a waiting car so my husband tapped the horn. The driver reluctantly stopped what he was doing, sat down, started the truck, pulled up alongside us and yelled, "relax!", in the ugliest voice. This follows another incident in a seagrove neighborhood last year where a driver was hostile and ugly to family members visiting. Who are these people? Where do we complain about the manner in which he was unnecessarily blocking a road?
thanks!

Do you expect someone who listens to that blaring creepy music all day to be courteous?

Good luck, I've always assumed they were a front for the Swafia.

I don't trust them either. I hate the noise pollution. Plus, you know they aren't local.

pesky foreign ice cream trucks driving in from God knows where
to peddle their orange pushups and choco-tacos to our unsuspecting
kids then sneaking those millions back out of the area at night

Anything is better than the meat truck. Anyone ever encounter that? Usually you only see that sitting around on the front stoop while you're drinking beer. (Usually). I've been stopped at a traffic light on 98 and some guy in the meat truck told me to pull over and he'd sell me some meat, at a really good price. i don't care what you say, that doesn't sound too good.

Yeah, that sounds bad, but when the meth truck drives by, I'm usually first in line!

Meth sounds more appealing than shrink wrap frozen bottom round out of the back of toothless meat man's Ford Ranger.

I'm betting you can get meth from the meat truck.

Anyone else know about the construction crew lunch truck? White pickup with coolers in the back. If you speak enough Spanish, you can get a hearty meal... That has 0% chance of having been prepared in a certified commercial kitchen.

I bet it's good ol' home cooked delishusness BEACHROB! I'll be the guinea pig if you'll order for me 
As for the ice cream truck I hear he's been asked to not come in our neighborhood. Our streets are private and I believe our CAM sent him a letter. (i'm speaking of the one with the freaky tongue on the front. the driver has always kinda creeped me out)

I've had the meat truck stop at my house. My rottweiler rarely barked at anyone that stopped to visit, but that guy made the hair on the back of my dog stand straight up, my kids were playing outside the fence and I was watching from the porch (drinking my beer of course). He got out of his meat truck and asked if he could come in the gate, and he was scared of my dog. I said "Get back in your truck or I'm letting him out on you and don't ever come back" He did. The next day I painted a sign "no phone books, no steaks, no warning shots" (smiley face too).
They don't leave phone books and the mystery meat truck does not stop at my house.
ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
