It had to happen sooner or later...
For various reasons I won't go into at the moment, I'm in a bad mood. My demeanor didn't improve when I realized I was out of cigarettes... Time for a walk to the gas station.
But wait... I'm in the mood to fuck with somebody. Better *drive* instead!
Truck wasn't thirsty, but I topped the tanks off anyway: hose from one side of pump goes in one tank, hose from other side goes in other tank. I was even discourteous enough to park on the *in* side of the outside island; someone pulled up and tried to fit the diesel hose in his gas tank, then wondered why I was laughing at him.
The cashier gave me a lecture on fuel conservation(I managed a gas station for several years, and know what they're *really* thinking when they talk to you, which is mostly nothing: they run on autopilot at the till) then charged me for $2 on one side, $8 on the other. Tanks are s'damn full they don't even slosh anymore...
I paid cash, walked out, let him stew for a few minutes, then walked back in and paid for the two packs of Camels he'd handed me while his lips were flapping.
Dammit, that was fun! Next time, I *will* walk... Gots a couple of jerrycans around here somewhere.
