Violently sneezing because the top came off the coffee grinder full of black pepper which I subsequently inhaled a cloud of with cracked and broken ribs is up there on the list of things I don't want to ever do again. That and the motorcycle wreck that led to that predicament.
^^ Oof
Don't ya just love it when people pull up to the gas pump the wrong direction because they don't want to wait a minute for another pump to open up. Yesterday this older lady forced her way in then took forever to fill 10 gallons, between going inside twice to deal with a cash payment then she comes out and thinks I can back up with a bunch of other cars so she can pull out forwards. She started screaming that she can't back up, she never backs up and she won't do it this time. I obviously couldn't back up because it would have meant making others back into the highway and she was honking and yelling until an off duty cop a few lanes over calmed her down and forced her to back up. Well, she went too far, went over the curb about 50 feet behind her and hit the building next door and wrecked her car. She was right, she was no good at backing up.

Saw another woman once chilling out in her car while the fuel shutoff didn't work and gas was just spilling out. For a LONG time since she was so completely out of it. And then they act so rude when you're trying to get their attention. Are these people on some serious prescription drugs or something? WTF?

I've only done that once, fortunately realized it right away, even more fortunately the hose had a quick release and wasn't damaged.Quote:

This (and the price) is why I fill up at Costco 99% of the time. Gas stations are enough of a cluster already. You don't need to add in people trying to come at the pumps from both directions.Quote:

I have no idea what the outcome was but this morning I saw that the building was damaged so that's gonna sting especially after wrecking the car.Quote:
