You think trainspotters are weird.
There are also lorry spotters, and not just any lorry spotters, but specifically Eddie Stobart lorry spotters.
There is a program on telly purely about Eddie Stobart's haulage company, and on one they had a whole fleet of brand new lorries delivered, and before they were sent out on the road, a select group of nerds who had presumably all been invited or applied to be there, were let in to just walk around and look at them.
Before they could go out on the road and start making deliveries, they had to wait for them all to go round the whole warehouse and write down the number of each one.
Strange.
I watch this programme, sadly. It is just wrong, wrong information (2 ways to cross the Thames? Legally drive for 13 hours per day?)
Anyway, you can often see these
sad twats people sat by the side of roads, on bridges and hanging around service stations taking pictures of trucks.
Now i like trucks, i can go to a truck show and look at trucks, if i see a nice truck then i will take a picture maybe, but i dont get why you would want to sit on a bridge taking pictures and writing down notes on plates, names and fleet number.
"i think we will produce an excel spreadsheet and cross reference out notes"
One of them wanted their campervan/van being done like a stobby truck. That was the transexual and that other weird chap.
Its OCD, they will get a few then MUST GET MORE!!!!
A customer that goes into my brothers shop does it with buses. He can often be seen near where all the buses go taking pictures and having his note book out. Hi vis on aswell so he can be seen on the pavement, where all the other pedestrians are
