Serve yourself

going to the gas pump is not my idea of a good time. i have two exits past my house (which is like 5 mins away) to find the cheap places. i always go to the quickshop because its the cheapest station that is actually regulated. sure i could go to u.s. gas or whatever the hell it's called but i'd like to know i'm getting gasoline not dirty water. california gas is weird enough as it is- just ask patrick he'll tell you all about it. because ca has higher regulations they mix it differently then gasoline in other states. when patrick first moved here he said his car didn't like it. since my car is a california car i don't notice anything.

so when i go to the station it's kind of an awkward set up. there are 4 pumps and they are set in the corner of the lot at a diagonal. this wouldn't be a problem if people know how to get gas. i thought it was some sort of unwritten rule that if you can pull up to the next pump you do. that way somebody can easily get in behind you. it makes sense in my mind anyway. well that is not the case here. take yesterday for example.

i pull into the station and there are two cars on one side and one car on the other that is about ready to leave. there is a black range rover in line in front of me blastin his tunes. so the car pulls out and this dip shit gansta wannabe goes to that side and doesn't pull up so i can get in behind him. so i had to wait for a car on the other side to leave. which didn't end up being that long but that's not the point! you might be thinking why not go around in front of him. good question. that is a tricky situation because we would be head to head since my gas tank is on the drivers side. that means i may have to back out which is not ideal since there is a hug sign on the left and potentially another car and some idiot could pull in and hit you from the street. i know this because i've had to back out from that spot before and i don't like it.

i don't need idiots to add to the experience. paying 3.04 for gas twice a week is painful on it's own. there's no way i could drive to san fran every day. i'd kill myself.
