Driving habits are just that- habits! It takes a long time to change them and , man that'd be a project to get drivers to have respect for others.

Fueling up is one thing, but how about about the folks who can't dim their head lights? New Rant.....

I was taught long ago, "Don't argue with stupid people". Sometimes I can go pretty much thru the whole day and not argue----if I follow that rule!!!

If your talking respect at the pump, I pulling into a station and circle around to get to a diesel pump. I saw a guy coming in the other entrance. I stopped behind the guy that was pumping fuel to wait my turn. This other guy felt that he should have been in front of me so pulled up along side of me and stopped. As soon as the guy that was pumping started to leave, the guy beside me took off and cut me off before I had started moving. There was so little room that he had to park at a 45 degree angle to the pump in front of me. He proceeded to get out and fill his TDI Jetta. Then, I think he was going to for the topping off of the tank can you could see he was slowly putting diesel in after the pump had stopped. Man, why is it illegal to push cars out of the way? Anthony

Guilty as charged.

I ALSO carry six 5 gallon fuel jugs with me when I head to the station that's further out with the cheaper fuel.

But, It's no different than having to wait for another truck to fill a large tank........Or wait for that customer who has 14 item in the <15 item line at the store who then has to find his wallet, search through 10 credit cards for the one that still has a couple of dollars left before its maxed out.

If time is that precious.........you need to slow down.
