If I fill up, then need something from inside the store, I'm not moving my truck.
I get that. But for me to fill up and noone be at the car the whole time is excessive when others are waiting to use the pumps. Don't sit there and eat gas station sushi while parked at the pumps. Park your car so others can go about thier lives.

OMG !!! You've had it happen 2 times !?!?! That is just crazy !!! Maybe next time, you should just wait until they come out and give them a piece of your mind !! I'm sure that would correct their horrific behavior....:facepalm:

Maybe they were traveling and went inside to take a leak or drop a deuce. Or they have kids that couldn't make up their mind between a Snickers or M&M's. Or the line inside to pay was long or they only had to pre-pay with cash. Maybe they were elderly and just slow to get around.

Do I park at the pump on a regular basis ? No. And when I do it, there aren't any decent spaces to park, due to other inconsiderate / poor parkers. If the pumps are busy, I'll park around the side of the store if it's available....I'm not afraid to walk.

I consider myself a pretty considerate person. I hold the door for others, stop and let folks back out of parking spots, grab items from the top shelf for those that are vertically challenged, stop to help change a tire, and render aid at accident scenes. So, just because I have parked at the pump a couple of times in my 40+ years of driving, it doesn't make it "dumbass inconsiderate behavior"......it makes me human.
Twice in a month recently. And seeing that im regularly pumping 16-18 gallons, its not a short amount of time to grabe a drink and you are spending more time than a minute in a gas station restroom, i question your motives. I'll maintain my stance that its inconsiderate behaviour. I can say I've never done that in my 40+ years of driving. My apologies, I must not be human.

shart - When one attempts to fart but shit is simultaneously ejected whilst farting.


chard - A variety of the white beet, which produces large, succulent leaves and leafstalks.
? Depending on what you had for dinner I guess it could be correct. :shock:

I came here hoping for a Darwin award, but stayed for the odd tangent.
I thought that's what kept most of us here for the past 5 years? :crazy:?
