    It happens to the best of us - it takes a big guy to recognize his fault. You’ll be the wiser for it.
    Keep on trucking

    There is nothing to be mad about. The guy could just have card issues and be on the phone with the company trying to make it work, pump issues, anything.

    I noticed my patience with the fuel island campers had gotten shorter and shorter. Seems like alot of people these days behave like they are the only ones out there -

    Yep, having enough in the tank for a day worth of driving is my motto as well. Never go below quarter, which is 2-300 miles, ever.

    Dave id say u did a good job. Ive gotton up in some guys faces before for being complete donkeys. But like u , i found it just aint even worth it. Nothing good comes from being angry. Ive had my fair share of being angry at the fuel islands. But what can u do other than just sit there and wait. It just aint worth it.

    Maybe they should take care of that #### before they get to the pumps. Its called thinking ahead... Swift plans yours fuel stops out. So no he is wrong about needing authorization. U only need authorizationif you fuel out of route. Which can be taken care of when you are driving or sitting in a parking spot.

    Not in the mood today?)

    I've had card issues couple of time out of nowhere, stick it in, do all the info, error.. shoot me at the isle for that? It's life, sh#t happens. Yes, remaining a human sometimes is hard, yet possible.
