Re: Don't block the diesel pumps please.

I always hated the gassers taking the pumps in the isle with diesel when others are available, too. But if there are both gas and diesel pumps in the isle it is there for gassers as much as diesels. I see it as general thoughtlessness which abounds all over in many things I see in a day. I pull up maybe a bit closer than usual and leave it run to assure my presence is known, hoping this will prevent them from taking any longer than necessary. Works pretty well.

These diesel punks who think their pickup makes them more of a man, like in those videos, ought to watch out for the hardass driving a Prius that'll turn their head around. I've had keys to a lot of big badass trucks but none came with an over-inflated false ego. It's just a truck (or a Prius) and I'm just the guy driving it. Not a big guy, but have no problem standing tall on my own two feet.

I've pulled up to the second pump with a trailer, the front car leaves, and a bozo noses up to my bumper. Look around you fool, there are other pumps. I just sit there till they are done with the truck running. Sometimes I've had them sit there to wait for me to back up since I was ready first. They eventually get it and I pull forward right with them to make it even more obvious.
