First spot:
Mutant quicky mart employee walks out of store right in front of me with ice melt in hand as I attempt to pull into a wide open dispenser lane. She Slows WAY down the second she sees me approaching - and purposely goes into turtle mode to lolly in my lane - not applying salt.
I wait until she gives me enough room, then she stands just far enough to one side to make me nervous as I slowly pull into my lane. She pretends to salt a spot right at edge of my lane.
She goes back in, I follow. I request propane fill. She says “you almost ran me over - you need to be more careful “
Me: “WHAT? You’re kidding, right?”
mutant: (crickets)
Me: “Is this your idea of a prank???”
mutant: (crickets)
Me: Driving away in order to avoid murder charge.
Some people belive authority is a fringe benefit of the job. I stopped to fuel up one day and a lady was painting the posts by the fuel pumps . It was a hot out and I was pulling the camper so I left it run .
Her: Shut your engine off, I'm getting smoked out here.
Me : I'm sorry It's a diesel I cant untill it cools down.
Her : Stands up and dramatically hollers something that I didn't hear.
Me: pointing to an unpainted post, can't you go over there and paint till I'm done ?
Her : Pulled a phone on me and with bulging eyes madly telling someone about me being an asshole .
Soon another painter comes walking towards us, They talked for a second and she was clearly very upset.
Me : Sorry if you think I'm an asshole but diesel engines are not made to be shut off until they cool down. If you have a problem with that bring it to the manager.
Me: driving away feeling glad I live where I do and for now I can mostly stay away from people.
