    You also got to know yourself.

    Holding back because you know if you did engage you'd likely go to jail.

    The temptation is strong to beat people up with the kinds of things I see at the fuel islands. Have to really restrain myself

    I’m with you. When I stop at the Flying J in Limon CO to cram my tanks before I head up in the mountains and every fuel isle is occupied and not a hose 1 in any tank, it doesn’t even phase me anymore. At this point, it’s to be expected.

    That’s crazy… we have a pandemic of drivers doing 2-3 hour breaks in a fuel island at the pump

    now we got a epidemic of truck washes in the fuel island.

    I just gotta ask, who trains these so called people, where do they get their common-sense?

    I promise you my fuse is shorter than yours but .. to quote you … You’ve got to know yourself .. You walk up chew his dumb ### and if he takes a swing then ya thumb him . There’s no jail time for a good ### chewing
    Besides which is worse sitting there watching him do something that stupid and letting it get you pissed off while he is being stupid .. Or going and letting him know his is idiot .The only way he’ll learn is if somebody teachs him .. you might as well be the teacher

    If someone is going to start swing it would be me, then jail and load doesn't get delivered.

    To be doing anything but getting fuel when drivers are behind you is like a spit in the face in my book

    Do you hear what you are saying? Losing your cool because of a fool. Being able to thump is a plus. Being willing to thump is another plus. Being unable to keep your cool is a huge minus. If you are easily set off, you are easily controlled. If someone sees you’re about to pop a fuse because he’s fiddle farting around on the fuel, he may try to pop that fuse.

    Slow your roll, hand. Fiddle farting on the fuel island is not the same and someone walking up to you and purposely spitting in your face. Calmness is how we display mastery.

    Six back quiet.

    Seen a guy wash his trailer with a squeegee at the fuel island 2 weeks ago. That was a first.

    I wonder what's the "logic" behind using the squeegee on a fifth wheel?
