I stopped to get gas this mornin and I swear people have completley lost there minds!

First off you got the guy who pulls up to the pump and then proceeds to sit in his truck for 15 minutes before even gettin out. WHAT THE HECK ARE WE DOING HERE BUD???

Then you got the people who go inside and buy 47 lottery tickets, 3 hot dogs and a whole dang grocery cart of snacks while the rest of us are just tryin to get our gas and get on with our day!

And dont even get me started on the people who leave there cars at the pump while they go inside to use the bathrom and such. I mean COME ON PEOPLE!

Just let me pull into the pump, buy a natty light or 2 and ONE lottery ticket and go about my day.

I personally think we need to bring back some good ole fashioned gas station eticut Its really not that hard to be a decent human being!

Maybe its just me but people need to get there act together. What has happend to society???

That stuff annoys me as well

Of course this is made worse by the staggering number of gas stations with credit card readers that don't work

If I go to a station and their readers don't work, I never go to that gas station again and I won't even fill up there. I just move on to the next one.

You know what would be cool? If I could just pull up to the gas station and somebody would pump the gas for me, check my oil, maybe clean my windshield while it's pumping and then take my payment when done. I could be back on the road without ever having to leave my car if I didn't want to.

Confess, you bought a bag of fried fat while in C-store, didn’t you?

Let it out. We are here to help.

And, check your tires. That was how it was done in the old days.

Two types of people in this world: givers and takers.

The takers stick out like a sore thumb.

I never use the payment machines at the pump. Don’t rust them and have heard about to many scams. So I pull up to the pump, establish the pump station, go inside and buy snacks/piss and tell the convenience person to charge pump 15 $30 as well while checking out

Don't forget about the ones who leave rap music blasting while they pump gas.

This seems to be a noticeable issue isolated to La. Notice it everytime I travel there.

Another issue isolated to La


With that said, inside of a gas station store has to be the lowest of the low of society. Nobody who makes good decisions goes into a store at a gas station to purchase anything, and it’s obvious by their appearance. Can’t remember the last time I walked into one other than to take a piss.

It probably really does come down to that

It's a matter of being self aware and having consideration for others

I always park at the pump, and sometimes I just hang out there. And I don’t fell bad about it at all. Sorry, pops. You should probably go to a gas station that’s off the beaten path so it’s not so busy with sheeple like you. Then everybody will know you’re smarter and more important.

That’s what Buckees and Sam’s Club attractive.

Buckees because too many pumps to block them all….Sam’s Club……no place to go inside or to the bathroom.

So you want to leave your car at the pump and go in and shop, but don’t want anybody else to. Got it.

This isn’t even a good troll attempt by you.

That sounds exactly like a Walmart gas station.lmao It doesn’t matter what time of day, the cars are always 3 deep at every pump waiting and I’m like frick that I’ll go across the street and pay 10 cents more.
