A "real werner"

I was fueling up at the ardmore ok loves the other day when i met a truly ignorant werner enterprises driver

the fuel lines were 2-3 stacked i was stuck behind a werner truck after he fueled up instead of pulling up his rig he went into the store so i waited then he came back out

thats not the end of it another trucker noticed his tire was almost flat and informed the werner driver P.S. werner was about to take off n did not even seem to notice he still has not pulled up yet

now the fun begins he is now checking his tire n now another werner driver in the adjcent fuel pump comes to help out "the other werner driver "DID" pull his truck up atleast

after about 10 minutes he has got the air hose this guy was very big n was having quite time managining this task

now i had a feeling this was going to take awhile so i got out and kindly asked him if he could pull his truck up so i could get my fuel he said he cant he has tire problems n i said listen the hose is made to stretch its on a roller he said something i couldnt even understand i said look its simple common driver courtesy to pull up and he did finally pull up a whole 2 feet
n continued to struggle with hi tire issues now i am pissed but thankfully the pump to the left became empty n i had enough room to back up n pull into it by this point and time i have half an hour invested in this fuel up
as i am doing my walk around waiting for the tanks to the werner drivr yells over at me n garbled something about a tape measure n i told him he should move his truck up for the next driver he said he was going to take a crap first then get going the werner truck was still parked at the pump when i was done paying 4 the fuel and heading off whats the deal am i missing something here

Welcome to the land of Laziness .101.

I've waited in fuel lines for random things...My favourite being a JB Hunt driver who was busy taking a shower.

Optimistically, he could be a new driver and flustered because of his tire issue, though I doubt that was the case.
