This is totally rational, but I have nowhere else to post this.

I went to a gas station today. Ten or so pumps were all full and cars were lined up, so I got behind a pick-up truck. No one was at the pump, so I figured he was inside paying. I sat there for 10 minutes and no one came out of the store, and eventually a pump next to the truck opened up.

I backed up and drove around the pumps, so I could get to the open pump on the correct side. Somehow I made it without someone stealing the spot. I start pumping and look up, and that mother fucker in the truck was just sitting in his cab talking on his phone. When I finished pumping my gas, people were lining up again, and he was STILL sitting in his cab talking on the phone.

I never wanted to drag a person from their car and pummel them so badly in my life.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Have you ever pulled up to an empty spot, went to swipe your card, and some dude in a vehicle on the other side frantically run up to you saying "wait wait! I just paid and I'm about to use this pump on the other side!" ?

I wanted to hate the dude for being that inconsiderate, but then I realized that he was just a dipshit who forgot which side his gas tank was and decided to die on that hill instead of move his car and probably lose a place in line. I kind of forgive him for that.

The clarification is in the edit above.

Basically, the guy just parked the wrong way and made it work for him.

I hate posting sometimes. I was just trying to make a post about how it's hot outside this weekend and I was outside a lot today and that I might go to the movies tomorrow. But I couldn't get the wording right and then I started trying to decide between commas or parentheses or dashes. It was a simple post. But I gave up on it. Writing is too much trouble sometimes

Little voice to text snafu there.

voice-to-text mishaps are probably up there on the cheugy scale, I'd reckon. Like the text version of "dad thumb" in a photo.

Costco is very strictly a one way situation, so, no.
