Two questions. Since he had a class C and wasn't towing, couldn't he have used the regular automobile lanes, and left the RV lanes for bigger rigs? Second question, is it any wonder NY residents get a bad reputation? I travel to NYC often, and have met many wonderful people, but its folks like these who give tho whole state a bad name.
On the same trip, I stopped at a service area on the Florida turnpike. We needed lunch and fuel, so I parked where I was directed, out with the 18-wheelers. We went in to grab lunch, then headed out to get fuel. Since I need gasoline, not diesel, I maneuvered back to the gas islands and pulled in the far right gas lane behind a mini-van towing a small TT, Ohio plates. Once again, I failed to see any activity around the rig, so I got out and walked up to see if there was a problem. You guessed it. Nobody there. I carefully backed up, then S-snaked my way into the next lane. As I was pulling out, here come the Ohio folks with a couple of fast food bags. We thanked them for their courtesy:R.
Why can't folks learn to fuel up first, then go park, then go shop.

FIRST of all you do NOT know what he was doing inside before he came out to fuel up.
I happen to pay cash for many of my fuel stops.
Here's a flash.....you have to go INSIDE to pay for the fuel BEFORE you can start filling up your RV.
Remember those days? Not everyone uses a credit card. And last time I looked it is not against the law to pay cash for fuel at a gas station, which requires you go inside to pay first.
I've been in Flying J's they are a joke. They never have more than one person behind the counter and they service the truckers FIRST then the common folks wanting to buy/pay for fuel. THAT is why it is always a train wreck at a Flying J.Since he had a class C and wasn't towing, couldn't he have used the regular automobile lanes, and left the RV lanes for bigger rigs?
And this comment about the fact that his RV was not big so you feel he shouldn't be able to use the RV lane?
Doesn't even deserve an answer. :R
x2.
I'm still trying to figure out the significance of leaving one person at the rig. Inside? Outside? Holding the nozzle?

Inconsiderate? Yes...but since I am retired and in no particular hurry to get anywhere, I don't let small stuff like this eat at my soul...:-) YMMV
