Gas Shortage?
On the way back from the Faire.
So gasoline prices have shot through the roof. I am fueling up my dead dinosaur powered 4x4 that goes offroad and to the drag strip too. When I pull up I notice some genius has pulled forward 35 feet from thier rear bumper to the front of the pump. No problem I back it...
I also notice said car, a chrsyler convertible, is idling...with no one in it. After a minute a woman comes out, gets in the car...and sits there. I think she's trying to balance a checkbook on her nose like a trained circus seal...and failing miserably becuase I keep seeing her dissappear under the dash. The car windows up, AC blasting..idling...
Now I fuel up 33 gallons and 98 dollars later... Shes still there! Now that the checkbook has bounced, shes gone on to sorting a bag of M&Ms... apparently me loudly complaining about gas shortages and wasteful stupid people has not fazed her.
ok so there is a small child in the back seat... which i did not notice before, maybe she was helping with the checkbook?
Woman prepares to leave as I do, 15 minutes later. Apparently the 8 inches I gave her between our bumpers was not enough for her to pull out. Go figure... So she backs up. I see her drive off, in her convertible with the top up, kid in the back, AC on and WINDOW OPEN SO SHE CAN SMOKE A CIGARRETTE! I guess I should have thanked her for not smoking and blowing us
up...?
