Yes. Exactly. Right on. Couldn't have said it better myself.mmouse said:So you expect me to pump, go in pay for gas, come back, move the car, then go back in and buy donuts?
The donuts will make you fat anyway.

Fark off!Esco! said:Nah, its much more fun watching Diode have a nervous breakdown![]()
You too.mmouse said:That's what I thought!
Thank you, sir!maxwellsmart said:You're right Diode. I hate the inconsiderate pigs who sit at the pump oblivious to the rest of the patrons lined up to get theirs. But it doesn't stop with coffee. I also hate when people sit in the car and: adjust their mirrors, make a cell call, search through their purse, wallet, apply lipstick, anything.
As Frank Zappa said: " The Red zone is for loading and unloading". The pump area is for pumping. For everything else, move out of the way!!!!!!
Just as rude an inefficient (not to mention non environmentally friendly) as the following statement.....Diode said:This is a stupid argument. If you get to the pump before me, I wait with no problems. The POINT is getting coffee and getting GAS are different things. The pump area is not for parking...Its for pumping.
Why block a pump because YOU need coffee. Quite frankly you think your time is more valuable than others. Its quite rude, and inefficient.
In which case your either waiting behind me or I am moving on as I would already have my coffee. What about should I choose to get a cold beverage from the gas station the choices that are there, should I still be doing the above, I think not. My time may not be more valuable than yours just as your time is no more valuable than mine.mmouse said:So you expect me to pump, go in pay for gas, come back, move the car, then go back in and buy donuts?
So does that mean you would be doing that every time you go to fill up and grab a coffee?Diode said:Yes. Exactly. Right on. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Every time. Unless I'm the only person at a pump.Hammerstein said:So does that mean you would be doing that every time you go to fill up and grab a coffee?
Sorry, I read this several times but can't understand what you are saying.Hammerstein said:In which case your either waiting behind me or I am moving on as I would already have my coffee.

Not quite possible if you drive 65k-75k a year. You get gas when you need gas.BottomsUp said:Simple solution...get gas on the way home instead on the way to work. All the coffee drinkers will be caffeined out by then.![]()
Exactly, that is what drive throughs are for. Any one who deliberately blocks the pupms is inconsiderate to both other drivers and to the station personnel. To the dorks who think otherwise, put yourselves in the other person's shoes. You don't like to be inconvenienced, so why should others like it?Diode said:This is a stupid argument.

Why block a pump because YOU need coffee. Quite frankly you think your time is more valuble than others. Its quite rude, and inefficient.
BULL PUCKYDiode said:Every time. Unless I am the only person at the pump.
I drink coffee all day...... my favorite beverageBottomsUp said:Simple solution...get gas on the way home instead on the way to work. All the coffee drinkers will be caffeined out by then.![]()
You insult me , Sir!Hammerstein said:BULL PUCKY
mmouse that statement in my previous post means when I pull in for gas at one of these places I am not walking in to pay for gas coming out moving my car and going back in to get a coffee or a cold beverage (lots of choices in pop juice energy drinks milk etc etc....)from the Esso, because some old windbag behind me has his knickers in a knot. But more than likely I already have a coffee in the car from an earlier stop at Tim's.
Finally my time = any one else's time and the reverse is true.
Really? Would keep me up at night if I drank it after 2PM.Hammerstein said:I drink coffee all day...... my favorite beverage
Finally if thems fighten words all I have to say is shit happens. And yep I drink coffee all day generally speaking a pot before work and 3-5 XL during the day and right now I am on #6 XL and have no trouble sleeping.Hammerstein said:my time = any one else's time and the reverse is true
And it's way cheaper than Viagra!Diode said:Really? Would keep me up at night if I drank it after 2PM.
My dear Daddy told me Never trust anyone who drinks coffee like its beer.Hammerstein said:Diode, first off please (notice the politeness) don't call me Sir I work for a living. Secondly I think withing the past year I may have gotten gas at one of these places maybe twice and have a cup of coffee in the car from a previous stop at Tim's, I mainly fill up at Pioneer.
Third as in a previous post
