I have a new dashcam. It helps me to capture stuff like this.

I don't see it. He saw an open pump, moved for it, then moved out of the way for the silverado to get through. Maybe I'm missing something?

I felt the same way watching this. No idea how long that Chevy was going to take to fill up. He didn't hit anybody. Was nice enough to let the other truck out since he hadn't started pumping yet.

What's the big deal?

The Chevy truck finished his pump before Ford even got around him. I had already taken my spot before Ford finished his maneuver. It was a wasted effort. Ford should have waited his turn and he would have been in the spot and not caused Chevy to go around him.

True, not a big deal, but I actually had some ass clown at another wholesale club go around me to back into the first position at a pump and block me in just as I was finishing my pump.

I forgive some of this crap at a C-store gas pump as you never know when someone is going to run inside, but a wholesale club gas station is in-and-out. Wait your turn and things go much quicker.

Wow. I guess I'm in the minority. I'm a "wait your turn" kind of guy.

Yes, it really was no-harm, no-foul, but it didn't get Ford to the pump any quicker.

wtf? This looks like a gas station for pre-schoolers. Follow the arrows on the ground, stay in line, wait your turn.... Murica!

Is this really how grown ass adults with fully "developed" brains get gas in the states? There must be lines and arrows and big ass instructions to turn off your engine because after 100+ years nobody has the common sense to function properly in a public setting.

I've never seen a "wait in line" style gas station. Might be why i think this was a normal move. I don't know the rules here lol :]

Everywhere i've been it's "open stop? mine mine mine!" lol

Where is this? Can't tell what state by those plates. That's the most orderly looking gas station I've ever seen.

At least he was nice enough to pull ahead so the Silverado had room to get out. But yeah, wait your turn, buddy. At least that station has nice lines and arrows. Ours here are a free for all and when it's busy, they become huge clusterfucks.

You're in Hoover?

I wonder if I've seen you around. What's your car?

I go to Hoover 3+ times a week. RX400h.

I see them now and again but there's probably a lot I didn't notice so I doubt I saw ya.

I used to be in a white 6 speed 2013 Mazda 3, now it's a silver Focus ST with black stripes. I'm mainly stay in the areas of the Montevallo exit with a Wal-Mart and Alabaster, but I sometimes go out to Hoover. (Woo LEGO store!)

Do you ever go to cars and coffee ? It's already cool knowing there's a jalop/opponaut nearby.
