Now we've been teaming for years, nothing in particular about the day you'd remember the next day. I drive 8am-8pm. Wife drives 8pm-8am. I stopped at a quick rest stop to walk our dog then continue on to make a delivery in time before closing. Peeking through the curtain, wife was snoring away. Walking to a patch of grass exiting driver side, I didn't know/see the wife roll out of the bunk and get out of the truck passenger side. Dog did her business, we got back into the truck, and took off! About 10-15 minutes later my phone starts ringing unknown caller. I ignored it. Instantly starts ringing again, "Hello?" "You, fucking, Asshole..." "Melissa...?" Being this is on a turnpike, finding an exit to turn around, drive past the rest stop, turn around again...? Yeah we didn't make delivery that day. And to top it off I'm now locked in an eternal argument I didn't check that the wife left. she didn't tell me she was leaving the truck!
