[GH85Carrera]

Several years ago I pulled up and was fueling my car in the totally normal manner. The gas station has a weird triangle shape. It is easy to pull forward to leave, but a real challenge to back up because of the entrance and the constant flow of the new customers to the convenience store. Anyway, not all the pumps were being used, but for whatever reason some jerk pulled his pickup right up close to my front bumper so he did not block the incoming cars.

I would have to back up to get out of there, weave through other cars coming in the driveway and pedestrians, possible but a challenge. So the gas pump shut off, and I figured it was time to check my oil. I had to walk around to the back of the El Camino to get to one side or the other with him just right in front of my bumper. So several trips back and forth, then I needed to wash the windshield and I was slow and careful. Now remember other pumps are open, he could move over and gas up at any time. So next I had to check my air pressure in my tires and the pressure in the air bags on the rear end used only for load leveling with a load. By the time I was checking them, he fired up his truck, backed up, and left the gas station and laid rubber with the throttle floored and drove away. I never saw him again. It was like something from the twilight zone. He never got out and said a word, never fueled up at the other pumps or went inside. He just made it hard for me to leave. With him gone, I went home easily by going forward.
