    C'mon, now...THIRTY seconds?


    You sure it wasn't, like, 42 1/2 seconds??

    But seriously...that's where common sense and courtesy come into play. Had the place been full, I'm sure you would have pulled up. I've done the same thing, especially when fueling overnight....if it's not busy, I'll run in, do my business, and get outta there.

    Well I have to say I certainly agree with the original post by the "Sweet southern belle" This pisses me off especially if I'm in any kind of a hurry and the island is full and you notice after awhile that half the people didn't just go in and pay but went in and showered or ate and left their rigs at the island. As far as people pulling in backwards it doesn't bother me. If I see it I pull around and face it in the right direction so we are nose to nose so idiot at the island has to back up which seems to be against their nature.

    This seems better than getting out and yelling...raising my BP. Actually it is healthier for me....I could just LMBO at them instead. :biggrin_2559:

    Oh I don't always stay inside sometimes especially when I just wanna get fuel and get the hell on the road towards home I'll get out and rip them a new one then calmly sit in my rig and glare at them until they move. Just I don't understand why some people are too lazy to pull their rigs out. Okay I can understand if you run in to pay and grab a candy bar and a coke or something then go and pay for your fuel but don't sit down and eat or go take a long shower while others are waiting. Awhile back I saw one guy get out of his rig (must of been tired of waiting) because he got into the rig sitting in the island the driver was dumb enough to leave his keys and then moved the rig out of the way and the line continued its way through.

    Unauthorized use of a motor vehicle is a felony in a lot of states. If you're caught in the truck or exiting it after you "moved" it, cops will likely be involved and you'll get a room at the gray-bar motel.

    ...however, that isn't necessarily the biggest reason why I would recommend NOT moving someone else's truck.

    You don't know what they may have in the truck, or what the driver of that truck might do to you if he catches you "moving" it before the police can be called. What would you do if you opened that door and when you went to climb in you saw this coming at your face?

    Then, as you're getting mauled by the dog, the truck owner walks out, puts 2 & 2 together, and you find out that what the dog was doing to you is nothing compared to what the truck owner is about to do?

    Entering someone else's truck without their consent is never a good thing. Some people don't take too kindly to seeing uninvited strangers inside their homes or vehicles...and dogs can be VERY territorial.
