Stupidity is alive and well today too!
On the way to work (after dropping off Wlofie and The Older at The Hospital
[1]), I stopped off at a gas station to fill up Lake Lumina. There are two
pumps next to each other, both free. I'm trying to negotiate my way there
when an SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) cuts in. But does the soccer mom driving
said SUV pull all the way forward?
No, of course not.
She pulls up to the first pump, and stops.
Would it hurt her to pull up to the next pump, free of any vehicular
obstruction and fill up there?
Yes, of course it would.
So I have to drive around this bree munching Yuppie soccer mom and circle
around to some other free pump.
Then, when said bree munching Yuppie soccer mom finished filling up her SUV
(I didn't actually see her get out of the vehicle and pump any gas, although
I did see her talking on a cell phone), does she pull forward to circle
around the lot to leave?
No, of course not.
Instead, she backs up and tries to negotiate a three point turn right there
in front of the pump.
It's at this point that I want to put her head in my hands and shake
violently.
