So I was drivin'..... (yet another gas story)

[Hawkeye-X]

So I was driving to an appointment just 2 miles up the hill in Denver and I see gas stations creeping to 3 dollars on most places. So I get close to my appointment, and see gas for $2.69. Seeing that our tank was more than half full, and seeing that the gas prices has gone up, we took advantage of it. The wait was interesting though. I was watching a guy fill up the pump and it was like 1 cent PER second instead of like 50 cents per second. That's right, I'm saying PAINFULLY slow. The guy decides to quit after filling $2 worth of gas in *5* minutes. So I figured that they were running out of $2.69 gas and rationing that, so my wife and I discussed and decided to go mid-grade at $2.79 which was about the national average, so we went ahead and filled it up, finishing at 14 dollars for 4 gallons. Jesus F. Christ. Finally when we left, I knew there was a car waiting for us to leave because I was talking to the gentleman and told him we only had more than half a tank and we wanted to fill it up. Nice guy too. Then some stupid black teenagers cut him off and I yelled at them to back off because the guy in front of me was actually first, but the guy was too nice and let him get the first. I just didn't like the mob scene.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

1. I may be out of line here (no pun intended)

but I'm curious why you felt it necessary to mention race and age(i.e. "stupid black teenagers") in this story. Just sayin'

3. Well, he raced to the pump

basically before the nice guy had a chance to move.

That move was REALLY stupid, and I have nothing against African Americans, but this one was waaaaaay over the top.
