When you pull into a self serve gas station, PLEASE put in your gas and then pay for it. Please in a self serve bay do not stop to wash your windows and your tires. Then clean out all your garbage out of your car while others are waiting behind you to get their gas. Then you FINALLY go into the gas station to pay for your gas and THEN what do you do you buy your comfort food. I sat in my car yesterday afternoon for at least eleven minutes while this older gentleman did the above. Please have some respect for the other patrons who want to put gas in their own vehicle. —Pissed Off at the Pumps

washing windows is a very integral part of getting gas the rest of it should be done somewhere else
Considering what I’m paying for gas, I’ll detail the fucking thing if the mood hits me.
A more legit bitch would be: buy your fucking lottos and scratch tickets at the shoppers or something, not where people want to pay for their gas and get the fuck moving on.
It’s called self service for a reason. They have window washing stations at the self serve pumps for a reason. They have garbages at the self serve pumps for a reason. They have those nice displays of washer fluid and oil at the self serve pumps for a reason. Any of this sinking in yet? You might have gotten your gas quicker had you gone to the manned side of the pumps. If your time is so valuable maybe that should have been your better option. Some people really whine about the most mundane shit. Get a life and/or a bike!
OP’s raging…
maybe a little tickling will cheer you up.

OH NOES ELEVEN WHOLE MINUTES!
Was this a one pump station, or were there other pumps you coulda gone to?
seems the ones that do that the most are guys, with the shitbox cars. i saw one guy, about a month ago, clean at least 5o pounds of crap out of his car, not including the trunk area. when he opened that up, there were 2 old tires, and a bunch of old shit .
fuck knows what his residence looks like, but i wouldn’t go in there.
I’ll wash my windows if the pump either has the lock that stays on until the tank is full or if there is no one waiting behind me. And I use debit at the pump so my car isn’t sitting there while I’m inside paying.
well isn’t that kind of you Agripo. Whatcha want, a hand for not being a douchebag?
sure,

must addmit, even if my favorite songs were playing, I would be just as annoyed.
This, of course, would invariably come at a time where I am behind or running late for something important…
My favourite songs usually start just when I get to the pump.
See, that’s why there should be full fucking service so these guys can sit in the car while somebody else (gainfully employed) does it for them. That said, with the amount petrol costs these days, I’ll sit on the hood and clip my toenails if I want.
