left my hood up...

[Rockrash]

Ok, I'm new to this world so I think I am missing some important etiquette. On the maiden voyage, first time in a campground I got set up and went about my duties. At one point I checked the oil in my truck and got distracted and forgot to close it. As night fell I had 2 visitors stop by and offer.... services and party favors. I was far from insulted but later heard that the hood up on my truck was a calling card for such activities. Is this true? What other "signs" will cause visitors of various purpose to show up?

In Montana we do this but it's too keep the rodents out of our vehicle. Never once had any other offers. LOL

I'm without words, and no visuals.

Well don't bother trying it, because I'm here to report that in the day-and-a-half since I raised my hood the construction workers across the street haven't blinked an eye, much less come across to offer any...."assistance" to a Lady in Distress. :?

Maybe I should have rolled my support hose up above my knees before I went out there????

I have never heard of that, but then again I've never left the hood up.

Buhahahahaha.. this is a funny group... Francesca K... you made me snort coffee out my nose! My hub was resistant to using his power drill to raise/lower the stabilizers (don't ask me why), but it got to be soooo predictable (and FUNNY) with 2-3 very helpful guys trotting right over to show him how to use a drill that he gave up and started carrying one. He said he viewed it as exercise, but I viewed it as a PITB. Anyhow...it always extended our "set up" time because he had to have a guy visit before we got very far with the chores. It really was amusing.

Quick google didn't turn anything up, must be a local thing. Sounds like lot lizards and controlled substances to me.
