    Too many just sit and eat after fueling. If you look at them, they look defiant too.

    Problem:
    You talked to the lady at the fuel desk but not the driver behind you.

    Reaction:
    Other driver takes umbrage.


    Solution:
    Stop practicing selective mutism.

    I don't see why I'd go to talk to anyone behind me. I can talk to them when they come to me.

    That's right. In 7 years of driving and thousands of fuelings, I've NEVER been approached by someone in front of me telling me anything. EVER. I've approached drivers in front of me to inquire about what was taking so long, but they never came and talked to me.

    You'll learn by reading here, this forum is filled with a rare breed of driver. They NEVER speed, they NEVER do anything wrong, they NEVER have fuel card issues, they NEVER block the fuel island for ANY reason, they are ALWAYS on time, they NEVER struggle to find parking, they make more money than God, they drive for the best company in the industry and most of them have trucks that can do triple digit speeds up a mountain pulling two wind turbine blades end to end.
