Danny summed it up perfectly--how this guy still has his job is beyond me.
I've backed into a drive way of a known bad dog. Opened the rear overhead and tossed the package to the garage if the dog is out. Screw them if they order something and keep the dog out.
oh shoot , didn't read your whole post and hence didn't catch the bowling reference , didn't mean to try to steal your thunder.. I remember there was a Pete and Earl Webber. Was Earl the father (i think) or the son? If I remember, Pete Webber was the son and he was a leftie.
You are correctDick Webber and Pete Webber were father and son. Earl Anthony was the left handed bowler. I watched too many of ABC's wide world of sports on saturday afternoons.
He's got that hand brake adjusted "just right". Hopefully he won't kill somebody. He better not try it with one of the Ford P1000s with the Lucas parking brake. The rear wheels would lock up and he would be kissing the windshield.The sad thing is the problem is not with him. Its with management because they turn their back on this unsafe behavior. This driver is probably 2 hrs underpaid and his management team loves it.
Problem is, he is a roll-away waiting to happen!

Wow, yep ,you brought my memory back into focus. I used to watch the abc w.w of sports on saturdays for the bowling. Now I remember Earl Anthony. And now I remember Mark Roth. He and Earl had different styles., Earl less power, more control, Mark Roth, more power, more of a hook, but less control. Those two guys used to alternate for top dog over the years and it was always a pleasure to watch those two play against each other
I disagree Cement. I watched the full screen view and that truck moved a good 2-3 ft as he was getting out of the truck. I do believe it is an automatic but if he's jamming that into park and it rolls that distance before stopping it's going to tear up the tranny in short time. I think what he's doing is putting into neutral and using the hand brake to come to a rolling stop. You can see in the full screen view that he is actually using the hand brake.I don't think the vehincle was "moving". I think what yourseeing is the slight movement the automaic transmission gives hen you put it in park. Mine "floats" a little bit when you put it in park. Enough that I've even had cusotmers think it was going to roll away.
I think it was Roth that picked up the 7-10 split the hard way--he threw the ball so hard at the 7 that it bounced off the curtain behind the pin drop and came up and took out the 10.
Remember Ernie Schlegel?
Do you think that because maybe because of the camera or maybe its wide-angle lens it made the driveway longer than it seems? It seems like just a gentle toss, something I do everyday.
