The bride and I have been doing some traveling lately, nothing serious or long, and along pretty much the same interstate which means we gas up in the same 2 or 3 places coming and going. Tell me why people do these things at a gas station/convenience/fast food store on the interstate. In our area, these places are busy majority of the time during the spring and summer when people travel most. It makes no sense aside from pure laziness.
People pull up to the gas pumps, pump their gas, clean their windshield, return the nozzle to the pump and then go inside and shop, and go to the restroom. All the while their vehicle is blocking the pump so no one else can get gas. All they would have to do at this particular station is pull ahead 20 feet into a storefront parking place which is nearly always open but NO that would be too easy. If you pull up behind one of these people you expect them to fill up and pull out but noooo, they have to use the #6 pump for a personal parking spot under the canopy.
Then there are those who pull up, get the pump going and head into the store. The pump shuts off with the familiar "click" before they even hit the front door of the store and they are nowhere to be found for quite some time. I guess they think it is better than the first example since the nozzle is still in the gas filler of the car even though it has long been shut off. Eventually, they return and act like they can't believe the car is full already. Duh
We have had a Subaru for 5 years now and it took a while to get accustomed to the gas filler being on the right side. OK, I get that but why can't people figure out which side to have next to the pump to fill it up. I have watched people pull in with the left side to the pump only to find the gas filler on the right just to spin around the pump and you guessed it, the fill is still on the wrong side.
Lastly, at times there isn't an abundance of room for vehicles between two pumps, and for some reason, people want to test how far the pump hose can reach by keeping a 10-foot distance from the pump. So I pull in and barely have enough room to let my wife out on the pump side and I am holding my door and squeezing out to keep my door from hitting his car.
OK, I am done. Surely I am not the only person who sees this happen?

I told him he need to move his fucking car up to the store, then go shop. He looked at me like I was crazy...and I just about was. He moved his car. Fukin people just suck...they just suck. The older I get, the more they suck.
