Last year I was coming back to TN from FL. I pulled in to a gas station that had several gas lanes perpendicular to the store. I saw in the far right lane there was a pickup with two guys, one of whom was cleaning the windshield with the supplied squeegee. I figured they were about done so I pulled in behind them. I had my 31' C towing a Jeep toad.
My toad was blocking one of the two lanes running in front of the store, but there was no other option. Plus I didn't think it would be long.
How wrong was I? These two hillbillies in front of me proceeded to wash their entire truck with the squeegee, drying everything off with rags they had in the truck. Now I'm stuck. Can't go forward, can't back up.
Keep in mind that there were two guys at the truck. After about 20 minutes, they finish. THEN they start to pump gas into the truck.
In the meantime, I had another guy come up screaming at me saying that I was going to cause a wreck. At first I politely directed him to the truck in front of me. He continued to scream at me, so I got out of my vehicle and told him, not so politely, to get out of my face. He said he was going to call the cops, because I cussed at him. I suggested he do just that.
Finally after 30 minutes the guys in the truck got done and moved on.
This is why I live out in the woods far away from other people.
