Refueling

I use RV Trip Wizard when planning my trips and it has all the available fuel stops. Before I add one to my trip, I google Earth the station and make sure I will have the room to get in and out. Then I add the stop to my trip. It takes a lot of the guesswork out of things and makes for a more stress free traveling experience. That is until you pull into a truck stop that doesn't have a designated RV lane but plenty of room for RV's. You pull into a pump behind a 1987 rusted out Plymouth Reliant K car with a donut tire on the front passenger side and cigarette smoke billowing out both sides of the car. You assume the driver has gone into the store to pay their $7.02 bill but as time goes on, you realize they are either shopping, having lunch or decided to watch TV on the store television. So you ask the teenage passengers if someone would move the car so others don't get blown up because they aren't bright enough to not smoke at the fuel pump and it would let others get fuel. You learn that they don't speak or understand English. So you sit in your truck wondering if you can drive into the back of their car and push it out of the way without having to explain yourself to the local Law Enforcement. You decide that's not a great idea, nor would using a bunch of F bombs to voice your displeasure so you sit there P.O'd for 25 minutes. Once they leave, you get fuel and you're back on your way. You barely speak a word to your wife for the next 2 hours because you are still P.O'd. You don't lighten up until you arrive at your destination and can crack open the first of several cold beers. Oh what great times we have some days.
