It’s embarrassing you think anyone believes any of that.

And we know you’re BabyTac, which makes it even more pathetic.

On of my buddies, a retired EE, wanted to paint the inside of his house. He had to get paint samples, the color he and his wife wanted, and the different finishes. He painted the samples in certain sections of the house where the sunlight hit at different times of the day to make sure that was the right color for them...

I was like dude, it's just paint...

Well theres a reason he has an engineering degree and the other guys are welding pipe and it goes way beyond intelligence. There are lots of very intelligent people out there living the baw life.

Because gas station food is really good. And cheaper and better quality than most fast food.

This probably has more to do with the area you’re in

I’ve never seen a refinery and a high rise office building in a close vicinity. At least not down here where I’m from

Kinda surprised you couldn’t put that together

I do it all the time and I am very white collar with 3 different college degrees. You realize that they have the same protein drinks in the gas station that they do at HEB?

I can to pop into HEB, grab a protein shake, self check out, and done in seconds vs waiting behind someone choosing their lotto tickets, walking the cashier through the cigarette or snuff selection, or trying to pay cash and find exact change, etc.


It sounds like you yourself spend a lot of time waiting in line at gas stations to buy overpriced stupid bullshite.

Once the wife is involved, nothing is ever just anything.

My favorite blue collar baw move is leaving the diesel work truck running all day.

Arrive to job site at 7am and leave that baby running til baw gets home at 5pm.

It was such a problem at a previous job that the safety man would post up at the corner gas station and check their paperwork there.

what kind of troglodyte would get a slice of pizza when you can get a chili dog, boudin, or chicken cracklins for breakfast?
