he unleashed this unholy venom on me...it ended with, "......i dont have to say please, you mother effer!" i calmly replied, "you're right, you dont have to say please. but you will have to wait". i checked my fluids, put the gas pump on the first notch, aired up my tires...he was fuming and i thought he was going to kill me...he was a huge, elderly african american man, in very good shape for his age. very intimidating, but i took a chance that he wouldnt pulverize me in public. when i did pull off, he pulled next to me calling me a dirty effen gook. i felt satisfied ruining his mood.

I had some jerk pull up very close to my front bumper at a gas station. It was like he would only use the pump I was using. There were other spots available but he wanted to use "his" pump. I was going to have to back up thru the parking lot and that was a corner lot with two entrances from the street. It was not impossible but not what I wanted to do. I decided my windshield needed to be cleaned and I could not even walk in front of my El Camino because the guy was so close. I had to walk behind my vehicle to wash the other side of the windshield. Then I decided I needed to check the oil. Then I checked the air in the tires. He finally gave up and peeled out and left without getting gas. I drove foreword and left.
