So I'm sitting and waiting patiently ( for me ) for the light right behind me to change so's the good folks blocking my way can proceed the fuck outta my way and I can make my left turn.
Light changes, folks are moving slower than
@Sinister tryna figure out how to take apart an RGN trailer, (it's a call back from waaaaaay back) and I'm watching the approaching traffic get larger and larger.
Shit.....not gonna make it across.
And then......the Anomaly.
The cooperative 4 wheeler.
(rarely seen in these, or any other, parts)
Dude in a Dodge (natch) p/u is waving me across frantically, but there are peeps coming up in the right (4 lane road) lane.
Dude not only slows the folks behind him down, but he also starts weaving across both lanes to shut down the flow long enough for me to cross.
So they
are out there.......
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming....
I pull into station only to find a woman sitting in a parked car.....on my premium tank.
I'm gonna say right from the start, she is doing nothing wrong. Stores, in the interest of maximizing parking, will paint parking spaces right over the fills.
So I roll up and stop the truck with the right fender mirror approximately
3 feet from her ear hole.
To get her attention, you see....
She turns her head approximately 3.1 degrees and sees out of her peripheral vision "there's a truck right there............don't care."
She is intently staring at her phone.
Prolly face book.
The 9 yr old in the jump seat looks at me and my trlr, then, looks to her right and looks at the fills, then turns to her mother as if to say "I see the problem here".
Can we put the 9 yr old in the drivers seat?
The broad continues to ignore the big diesel idling right the fuck next to her....
Thought it might pique her interest.
Nope.
She is laser focused on that F/B.
Polly some pix posted by Billyjoejimbob of his garden just outside his trailer.
(sound like anyone we know?)
PRINK


So I set the brakes, fingering the noise would startle her back in to the life of the living.
Wrong...... AGAIN.
So's I get out and ax her if she would kindly move to another spot so I can deliver there right where she's parked.
She looks at me and says "you have got to be kidding....."
"No....it would be awfully elaborate if I was"
So she moves and I deliver.
Lather, rinse,repeat.
My day (s)
