I've Got Gas

Ok, help me out here people. If you are, sayyyyyyy, 65 years old. If you fill up once, maybe twice a week, depending on your driving, from the time you are 16 years old to 65, how many times have you filled up at the pump in your lifetime???? You should be a seasoned veteran, right? Come on one of the Doctors, figure this out for me.
Why me, why is it always me encountering the ignorant??? I pull into the newly renovated gas station at the very end of our street on the main drag. All pumps are being used, so I do the smart thing and pull in behind the smallest car, a Ford Escort (small car+small gas tank=less time waiting for her to pump........RIGHT/a big WRONG=LONG WAIT). I'm sitting there, I listen, folks, to an entire song on my MP3 player glancing up to see if she's finished every so often....nothing yet, she's still standing there looking at the pump with it in her car's fuel door. After 3-4 minutes (again there's no way it takes an escort this long to fill up, especially since she was in the same position when I pulled into the lot). I glance up again to see her look at the screen, THEN press the 87 Octane button and THEN begins her fill up.
I can't talk about this anymore, I must eat dinner now, + I have a headache.

The Doctor Is In.....

Well, Sir Flatulence, based on my significant experience with this subject matter, and the numerous examples you utilize to support your thesis, and all of the evidence I have gathered through years of education at higher institutions of learning, one can only surmise that your experience was unfortunately all too common and all too tolerated by the vast majority of society. Thusly, I concur that only one conclusion can result from this unfortunate circumstance..............






PEOPLE SUCK!!!

Splash her with gas, light her on fire, and drive off. Problem solved, plus, who doesn't like big fireballs?!?!!

Who am I Really? said...

well which scares you more the fact that it took her that long to figure out the gas pump, or the fact that she is driving, changing cd's, puting on make up, and talking on her cell. i would rather be waiting at the gas station then behind her on the free way.

gas sucks.. fo REAL, every kind, and EVERYTHING about it.

Gas is great, Tiners!!! It drives our world(pardon the pun). I'lkl write a blog on the goodness of gas, but the reason why it's outrageous.

Stephanie said...

Perhaps she'd inhaled too many of the gas fumes to function properly.

Dan-O, I can't help you figure this one out. Every time I am confronted by stupidity and helplessness too painful to thoroughly comprehend, it causes me to just shut down and go to my happy place, where my friends Gin and Tonic keep me company. I suggest that you, too, find your happy place. But keep your hands off of Gin and Tonic.

BWAHAHAHAHAHHAAA! maybe she was future alimony payment hunting. maybe she hoped to find someone to help her with her gas problem. i would have just sat there and honked insessantly heheheh

Dan-O said...

I figured it out I think....She's been driving for 49 years lets say. SO the 52 weeks in a year means she'd have to have filled her car up at least 2548 times. 3822 if she's filled up 1.5 times a week

Hey my dad's 64! ..or 65, I should ask him. I'm sure if he's sober enough he'll think up someway to count how many times he's filled up at the pump. Oooor not.

He might just ignore my question. Typical.

Ps. I'm not posting in my old blog anymore. Just realized I should propably tell people if they haven't noticed.

Spacecake said...

Spacecake said...
