Ahhh... the Christmas Season

As I was pulling into the gas tanks at Safeway this morning, I was thrilled to find all the pumps free.
As I proceeded to pull my car to the forward pump, this woman entered from the other side.  She seemed to want the same pump I did but since we were both there about the same time AND ALL THE OTHER PUMPS WERE EMPTY, I figured she would choose another spot.

Nope.  She wanted the one I was going to.  I was about to say "sorry" when she rolls down her window and starts yelling at me.

COULDN'T YOU SEE THE WHOLE PLACE IS EMPTY?  WHY COULDN'T YOU TAKE ANOTHER PUMP? YOU COULD SEE I WAS GOING TO THIS ONE!


I was a tad surprised at her manner or should I say, lack of manners.  I rolled down my window and yelled:
YES, I CAN SEE THE PLACE IS EMPTY. MY GAS CAP IS ON THIS SIDE AND I WANTED THIS PUMP. I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PULL YOUR CAR TO THE  FORWARD PUMPS WHEN YOU CAN. DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?

She doesn't say anything at first and I can see she's thinking that statement over.  I guess she decided I was still in the wrong but she pulls to another pump, glaring at me..... and yells  F.... YOU!

I tried not to laugh but I did yell:  And Merry Christmas to you too Sweetie!

What's the matter with people today?  Couldn't she see I was just a little old gray-haired lady.

(she did kind of look like a skank)
