Do you know which side of the vehicle your gas filler is on? If not, stop reading and go to the garage or to the driveway and find out. Go ahead...I'll wait for you.
Ok, good, you knew.
Well, this morning on my way to work i decided to stop for gas. And even though i knew the gas station would be crowded, i was in no hurry. I'll get in line and just wait my turn. Well, with the morons out there on the road, i should've known better. So, as i was pulling in, i see a guy pulling away from the pump. So, i pull in behind him thinking i got lucky. He stops...gets out and says, "i need to turn around, i'm on the wrong side." Moron...
So, i back up and to move to another line. Nearly every pump had someone waiting in line and i nearly drove off when i saw someone backing up to move on. Now, i assumed this guy was tired of waiting and left. So, i pulled in to where he was previously waiting. I assumed wrong. Two minutes later, i see this guy waving at me. I paid no attention to him, for i didn't think he was really waving at me. A few seconds later the guy walks over to me and says that he was there first. I told him i watched him leave...i could only assume that he was leaving. He said he was on the wrong side of the pump. Moron!! He did step out of line. There are no cutsies at the gas station, dammit. Oh well, because i'm a patient man, and wasn't up for a confrontation on a monday morning, i decided to hop one pump over and wait my turn.
So, don't be a moron. Make sure you know what side your gas filler is on before you pull up to the pump. That'll just save us all a little time...and a lot of frustration.
Here's an automotive tip: Because car manufacturers know that morons buy their vehicles, they have tried to help the morons out by putting an indicator on or near the fuel gauge that tells you which side the gas filler is on. So, look for that arrow or indicator! This free tip brought to you by the letter 'F' and the numbers, 87, 91, and 93.
Ok, i feel better now. On to a brighter note. HorelicaNet has exceed 5000 visitors. The winning visitor was someone in the Sugar Land area and the time of the visit was 2:09pm. So, if that was you, drop me a line and be acknowledged. Ok, you can remain annonymous...but it'd be nice to know who you are.
So, we couldn't have reached 5000 without your support. Thanks to each and every one of my readers. I hope that you get some entertainment out of my posts...and sometimes i hope you learn something. I know there are some readers out there that i haven't met. Hopefully one day we'll meet? But until then, keep reading...and i'll keep writing.
thanks again...

Your a more patient man than me!!!
No kidding you are patient. if someone gets out of line at the pump cause they are on the wrong side well then guess what? Yep, that person has to go to the end of the line. Theres no rules at the gas station. Just like in a parking lot...first come first serve.
Speaking of waiting at the gas station, I was on a bus the other day and the driver pulled into a station to fill up with everyone still on board. At least he knew which side the filler was on.
