Porsche Crest Why are people so ignorant these days?

Gonna rant a bit. Back away if you need to.

In the past few weeks I have witnessed more stupid acts by people. I can't believe that these morons SMOKE while pumping gas!!!!! WTF?!!!!

I saw it just today while refueling our gas sucking POS Blazer. Man and woman together in a brand new Chebby truck. He pulls to the pump, gets out with a cigarette in his mouth and starts pumping fuel. Gets back in the vehicle to wait. After I went in and paid, I noticed the broad with him smoking with her hand dangling out the passenger's side window, like ten feet from another customer refueling. Jeebus H. Christ, are they that clueless???

The other thing is not using turn indicators. I saw a person(not elderly, BTW) waiting to turn left against traffic with no indicator on. The car coming across the intersection just barely missed them. The person in the turning car then proceed to stick his arm out the window and flip the other guy off. Is it that hard to flip a freakin' lever 6 inches from your hand? AFAICT, they were jnot using their cell phone.

Ok, I 'm done.

Most of these people do not read Pelican OT.

Strike One.

Most of those people were raised by idiots.

Strike Two.

There is a plan in place to deal with this type of idiot. It's known as 'Nature weeding out the stupid'.

DO NOT BE AROUND WHEN STRIKE THREE OCCURS.

I've seen idiots smoking at the pump...

I usually stare, and when I get their attention, do the exploding motion with my fingers in front of me, while obviously mouthing 'BOOM!'

had some punk kid get angry at that, but the guy driving drove off.

GEEZE.

Common sense is not common.

That's the problem with gas pumping a$$bags. Their stupidity could cause my demise and I've got a lot of stuff to do yet.

When I was much younger, and still full of piss and vinegar, I hosed down a smoker at a gas pump with a fire extinguisher. Boy did he want to kick my a$$...
