Things get ugly at the gas pumps

*sigh*

I guess that means I need to buy a tire iron for swingin'.


Could you imagine what it would be like to have some guy waving a tire iron at you?

He'd be looking down the business end of a big stainless steel magnum.

What the hell is with all the people talking about how they'd be violent on the roadside?

Didn't some dude get banned for just joking about having big friends with bats and guns get your money back from a business deal gone awry?
Oh......... that's right.

I wondered about that too. I guess it's because these incidents are current events in the news that have nothing to do with bad drug deals and such, and the board members' reactions are only hypothetical rants not based on any real incidents.

Cutting will get you killed. Someone cut in front of a woman in a supermarket, yesterday, she called her b/f, he beat up the guy, now the cutter is dead. I'm not condoning this violence at all, but i don't condone cutting in line either, it's disrespectful and lacks common courtousy.

A couple of years ago, a trashy-looking young woman cut ahead of me in a store line. She told the cashier that her "nose was itching", which meant that a fight might happen. I noticed that there was a large boyfriend waiting for her on the other side of the cashier. I ruined their fun by ignoring the whole obnoxious attempt to bushwack me.

Funny, but I'm getting the audio from the BMW/pickup truck video that I posted, as I type this! Only one window is open, so this is really strange.

I meant courtesy

Good on you, don't play into anyones mind games but your own.

Things get ugly at the gas pumps

CYPRESS, Calif. (AP) - Violence broke out at the gas pumps in Orange County. Police say a La Palma doctor waiting in line to buy gas at the Costco warehouse store in Cypress grabbed a tire iron and confronted a motorist who cut into the line.

Sgt. Tom Bruce said the doctor was arrested and booked for investigation of brandishing a deadly weapon in a rude, angry or threatening manner, a misdemeanor.

Witnesses told police the doctor was in line at the pumps Monday evening when another vehicle cut in front of him. When the doctor confronted the motorist with a tire iron, the other driver locked himself in his car and called police.

Yeah, thats a totally apropriate reaction to the situation at hand.

Beating someone to death with a tire iron. Nice.

They better get a handle on this or it'll make the gas shortage of the "70"s look tame. To bad that the assholes in charge didn't take precautions following that.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Once again, I that Iraq should be our main oil supplier, at a VERY substantial discount. To not do this is just stupid on our part.

Would they give this discount to us as a token of appreciation? Or is it just some kind of spoils of war that we won form them?

This is just the start , it will only get worse as mass protests break out over the crippling price of fuel.
