You say that like it's a bad thing.

You just park the truck somewhere and go to sleep and when you wake up in the morning there is a load on the truck ready to go.

Don't do it!!! Save yourself!! Computers are evil!! Then again with tablets and quad core mobiles phones you can nearly do both these days.

It is a given that if you can smell yourself, things have really gotten bad enough for others to notice it too. Also, at sixty-six I have to be particularly careful about gas, 'cause I'm never too certain what will come out. "Depends" may not be too unthinkable in the near future.

Aaahhh I see the problem here, you care what people think. Once you stop caring what people around you think and whether you fit into their idea of right you stop worrying about the little things in life.

It's like picking up a hitch hiker (can we have them in ETS2? :) ) and wondering if you should fart in your own cabin incase it offends the guy who's been walking for 3 days, eaten nothing but road kill and wild flowers and hasn't showered in a week.

Ah... I see a problem here. You seem to forget population density over here in the old world is such most of the land is developed and civilised, so even bums don't even come close to what you describe. :P

Population density in itself suggests that there is more stink to get used to. The more people there is the more eating, the more eating the more farting, the more farting the more stink. If 1 in 10 stink here in the uncivilised land you could walk for 10 days before running into someone elses stink, the same 1 in 10 over there and you are living next door to it. Therefore it pays not to worry about what others think because they don't care what you think or they would shower more often.

I care about myself. If I stink so much I can smell myself, I get nauseous. As for the gas, if it isn't flatus then I really have a problem! Hence the "Depends*" :oops:
