re: People who park their car at the pump and walk inside

Only a problem if it's a busy gas station. I leave the vehicle in front of the pump often at slow stations. If it's an interstate hot spot then I pull forward.

I never do if I'm not getting gas, and it bit me on the arse a couple weeks ago. I parked off to the side, with no cover from the awning. It was cloudy, but not raining. There were four of five people in line, so the wait took a bit. I was next in line when the bottom fell out and it came an absolute deluge. The storm just sat. After standing under the awning for five minutes or so watching, I finally said, "frick it" and made a run for it. I nigh on drowned! Not really, but I was soaked to the bone.

I really wish I had parked at the pumps.

Yeah, the same piece of shite that does that, but leaves rap music blaring for all to endure, including small kids.

n word this muthafricka n word this sloppy vaj n word bitch n word n word muthafricka yeahhh boyyyyy elite off da chain n word muthafricka

I have dreams of a vapor explosion when these morons start pumping into their running car.

I don't have a problem with it as long as they actually used the pump.

Its the gasoline vehichles that pull into a station with 10 empty pumps and choose to park next to the only pump with diesel on it that pisses me off.

Is there anything more inconsiderate/annoying? I notice this constantly at busy gas stations where people will take their time and walk in taking up a pump that someone can quickly use. Rant off..

The vast vast majority of people do this.

Only when I’m driving my Altima.

I normally won't do it but a lot of convenience stores around us only have a couple of parking spaces and the pumps. I never do it if I am not buying gas but I will run into the store and get a drink while the pump is on. A circle K close to me had gas for $2.59 a gallon (card) or 2.49 a gallon with their perks deal Friday....it was a madhouse around that one and folks were chewing asses out for doing it at that one....to the point I figured a fight was going to break out if not shooting....by Saturday morning every station in town was at or near the same price but Friday afternoon it was .25 cheaper than anywhere in town....

I do that because my truck is big and it’s easier to park at the pump. Bonus points because truck is diesel and I couldn’t fill up there even if I decided I wanted fuel.

How the frick am I supposed to blow my rent money on beer, smokes, Big Gulps and lottery tickets if I don't go inside? How am I supposed to bitch about being poor if I don't spend my rent money on beer, smokes, Big Gulps and lottery tickets?

You need to get your priorities straight, sir!

Once while I was filling up at Love's in White House, TN, the Manager/Cashier/BossLadyInCharge got on the PA to loudly advise the "parkers" in no uncertain terms to move their cars once they were filled up.
It was a thing of joy, and yes, people moved with the quickness.
