....and jam up the entire lot and park at the gas pumps then go in to order food. No worries you just block half the lot while everyone goes inside to get food, drinks and ice. I understand your vehicle needs gas, however these are locals who bring their boats, lawn care and every other extended trailer with them. How about fill your tank the night before then hook up the trailer. | ||

Or at least fill up then get the hell out of the way. I refuse to patronize the gas station/convenience store nearest to me. Not only is the proprietor a flaming asshole, but the bulk of his clientele is of the "leave it wherever it rolls to a stop" school of parking. I wouldn't gas up there if he was giving it away. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

This. 1000 times this. And it doesn't just apply to people with trailers, either, although having one sitting there blocks 2 pumps, which exacerbates the problem. I've never understood the thought process that leaves some to think it's ok to just leave their car there and walk inside...how hard is it to move it 10 feet and park it out of the way? | |||

It is especially nice when they block the ethanol free and diesel pumps. Seriously! If there are only two of the damn EF or Diesel pumps some halfwit will be jamming them up while he is ordering food inside the station. ____________________________ Yes, Para does appreciate humor. | |||

My 38' trailer holds 80 gallons of gas, were should I go to fill it up? My trailered boat holds 93 gallons, where should I go to fill that up? My trailered lawn mower holds 14 gallons, where should I go to fill that up? Ya know what's worse? Being the guy towing the trailer waiting for the guy in the car who ran in to buy stuff, use the bathroom, chat up the subway girl, whatever, when there 10 empty parking spaces right in front of the store they could have pulled into. And yes, I use the ethanol free and diesel pumps, sometimes at the same time. I really like the boat ramps jammed up with cars, pedestrians, bicyclists, etc. And the trailer spaces with cars parked in them. Yes, I agree, do your business and get out of the way. It applies everywhere to everyone. | |||

I hate the convenience store patrons that park at the gas pumps with no intention of getting gas, going in and spending a half hour buying lottery tickets. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

At some of the national parks, way out west they have septic tanks on the way out of the park to "unload" your flushables, they also have a spigot and hose to wash away the spilled ickey. we watched a giant luxury bus pull in and put the dump hose in the hole and then he filled a bucket w/ soap and water and proceeded to wash the windows on the bus, well, one camper pulled in behind him , then a second and a third, now the line was out on the road way , A park ranger drove up and talked to the guy , He pointed to the line behind the bus, the bus driver looked and he dumped the water , stored the dump hose and was gone in under three minutes. now this was before cell phones , so I don't know how the Ranger found out Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

There must be a lot of diesel Tacomas and Civics around because the assholes seem to park in front of the pumps a lot. | |||

Or park in front of the air hose. | |||

Sometimes you do what you gotta do. No longer have a boat, but we still have a 30' toy hauler. In my home town, I know where to go. Easy in & out, some stations even designed for large vehicles. Out on the road, I look for the same large stations, but sometimes you just have to stop where there is a place to fuel up. Like guns, Love Sigs | |||

I enjoy the trailer towing folks who drag a massive trailer into the drive thru at the fast food restaurants. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Drill Here, Drill Now |
Ever wonder why gas stations don't do anything about it? The reason is that a gas station hopes to make enough money selling gasoline to pay their electric bill. Seriously, they're making a couple pennies a gallon profit selling gasoline, but they're making many, many orders of magnitude more profit selling cokes, twinkies, and bottled water. The mark-up at a c-store on things lawn crews buy (water, gatorade, beer, ice, etc.) is way higher there than at a grocery store or big box store so there is no way they're chasing that cash cow away.

The huge RVs are driven by people that are afraid of them or by dedicated asshole that just don’t care. We were in Glacier National Park and diving the Going-to-the-Sun highway. Both ends have huge signs banning RVs. Several signs in fact. Towards the end the bumper to bumper traffic stops. A asshole in a big RV was trying to drive the road. Problem was he filled most of the road! The rangers had arrived and were getting to to back down to a turn off. Our tour guide had seen it before. The driver would be kept there until traffic became light, about sunset, then be backed down to turn around RVs were supposed to use. “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||
