Blocking Access To Gas Stations

I went to Loves to get fuel and could not get in because a UPS freight truck with 2 trailers parked across the access to the pumps. Anybody with an RV or utility trailer could not get in. You had to go to the exit and get in line of the only 2 pumps that were not blocked from exiting thru the entry side. The guy was not delivering any packages. He finally walked out from the store with a bag of fast (slow)food and drinking a soda. Everybody was yelling at this idiot. He could care less. People with trailers were circling the pumps trying to get fuel. What kind of an idiot does this?

    If they still have the corporate structure now, they used to have, a picture of him, his parking etiquette and his truck number would have him on the street looking for another job. UPS has a 800 number to call just for such actions.

    On the other hand, maybe he couldn't care less. Entirely different meaning than what you said.



    I never got that either.

    Welcome to the new normal

    how about idiots parking at the only pump left and staying for 30 minutes inside the store?

    I usually go to another station, even if it is 50 miles away, of course I fill at 1/2 tank.

    The kind of idiot who thinks he has nowhere else to park and won't be there but a few minutes.
