Move your ****ing car!

[Moosenogger]

Had some real winners come in to the gas station today. A group of teens/early twenty year old kids were buying food. They had apparently already parked at a pump and gotten gas, but had decided to leave their car to block the pump. From their conversation, they knew that a woman was parked behind them, waiting for them to move their ****ing car. They laughed, saying how stupid she was to wait.

This pissed me off for two reasons:

1. There may be 20 pumps, but your ignorant asses are blocking one of them. I don't blame this woman for choosing to wait rather than risking an accident by fighting over another pump.

2. GAS PUMPS ARE NOT PARKING SPACES. Get your gas and then GTFO!

I was tempted to say something, but I noticed they were getting their food. I figured they were leaving, so I went back to what I was doing.

I eventually noticed that they hadn't left (or moved their car). Instead, they were outside eating, chatting, and staring at the woman in the other car who was progressively getting angrier.

I finally had enough. I told my manager about the issue, and she went out and told them to move. Good thing, too, because the moment she came back into the store, the woman who was waiting outside came in to ask if we had a tow truck. She was happy to find out that the morons were moving their vehicle.

Makes me sort of glad that I don't have a car right now

I move when I'm done with gas, unless there is no parking place (thank you assholes for parking across three parking places).

Actually this reminds me of a time I was in Austin years ago. I was in one car, my aunt was in another. I got my gas and since it was a small station I moved to a spot that wasn't a parking place but since there was no parking places, and where I decided to park wasn't blocking anything, I figure no harm. Well an asshole was turning into the gas station and was honking at me to move. I did move (even though there was enough room for him to get in the lot) and I showed I was sorry, but he was cursing me out and his gf was laughing. My aunt was taking a lot of time (she was with other people, maybe they went inside) so the asshole was leaving and was cursing me out again. He was in a company truck; I should have gotten the number and called the place to complain about him.

Only time I leave my car parked near a pump is when I am paying with cash.

That's the part id get on the broadcast system at my station and scream into the mic while having it set to ONLY their pump to MOVE THE FREAKING CAR.

You and me both. Often times I just cant pay with a credit card, so I prepay with cash. Very simple

sometimes we'll leave the car at the pump while going inside for something, but... only if we're getting gas, and not if there's a big line etc

I admit I tend to park at a pump if I'm getting gas and go inside the store later, but I don't do it if it's busy enough to have no open pumps.

I think we've all done that! I would usually go inside to pay for my gas if I had cash and couldn't pay at the pump and leave my car there while I get a couple of more items, but there was NEVER a case in where I left my car there with another car needing that pump at a busy time. If there's another car wanting to use my pump because the others are in use, I gas up my car and pull it off to the side lot so they don't have to wait longer than necessary.

I have NEVER lounged around by my car and laughed at the other person trying to use the same pump! There is something that I have called COMMON SENSE.
