Got into a fight at the gas station, man in a car was mad cause I was taking too long to fill up my motorcycle

Question

The gas station was very busy, I had to wait in line behind another car, when the car in front of me pulled out another car tryed to pull in and block me, but I got there first!

he gets out and starts yelling at me to hurry up and he was waiting longer than me, then he was complaining I was taking too long.

I was getting steamed! I told him to shut his mouth !

I was tempted to take the gas nozzle I was holding and squirt him in the face with gasoline!

but I backed off cause he was an old man and he would have called the cops and i has an appointment to meet.

what would you have done, or do you fellow bikers have trouble at gas stations with drivers of cars that feel motorcycles have no rights being at gas pumps?

Answer 1

Sometimes you have to just let it wash over you. You were right to ignore it. Well done, as I'm sure the provocation was there. Remember, if you kill him in your head, no one can do you for it!

Answer 2

I'd have made sure to take much much longer than necessary.

Answer 3

when you can it would be a good idea to move to a small town where it isnt crowded,everyon is not trying to outdo the other, therei less crime and you can live on your own terms.  inflation, recession, and depression things and people feel they are being cheated by everyone else and things get alot worse.   keep yourself and a loved one safe.  find youre own way.

Answer 4

Old or not you were right. It seems like the older people get the more they think they can get away with saying or doing anything.

Answer 5

I would of mooned him as I fill up my R1

Answer 6

If he was really old and you knew he posed no threat, you should have beat the snot out of him. Then you could have gotten on here and told us all about it. ( except for his age and condition).

Answer 7

Is this the same JoeB that likes to make fun of new riders?

Something tells me from the douchey nature of your other questions that there is more to this story, or you just made it up.

Again....

Trying to convnce the world you are an a$$hole one person at a time.

Threatening language toward old people is very impressive. Keep up the good work.

Answer 8

It happens to me all the time.I also change words with those people.They need to find a gas station that has few cars.They will not touch you because they are on camera :)

Answer 9

HAha, I work at a gas station and I have noticed all customers have been getting heated lately.  I don't know if it's the high gas prices or the heat and humidity but it's getting bad.  People really get pissed over the prepay thing cause they have to wait for the person to pay in line then pump their gas.  Next time tell them to bug off.

Answer 10

This hasn't happened to me but I would have just ignored him. Trust me being ignored is WAY more annoying than being insulted or told to shut up and they can't do anything about it! Don't even look at them...just keep filling up (as slow as you want) and act like they're not even there It's awesome! They either get really pissed and end up looking like the idiot or they back off.

Answer 11

Nothing like that has ever happened to me getting gas. I have had to get forceful when some little twit thought I wanted to  hear his stereo.

Answer 12

I would have told him to shut his piehole, such as you did.

And then I would have taken my sweet *** time..

Answer 13

The man obviously has no patience. You did the right thing to "back off", but what i would've done was politely replied to the man that i am going as fast as i can and if he could please not talk to me in such a rude manner. Over the last few years, i've come to realise that it's easier to ignore people that are rude, angry or mean. At first it's hard not to "react" but if you put it into practice it becomes easier over time, and you become a more peaceful, content person. Road rage is the most ridiculous thing, what do motorists expect on our roads, other than waiting, accidents and mistakes? There are millions of people on our roads and there's thousands of cars adding to these roads everyday....more people need to walk or ride a bicycle.

Answer 14

The old f**t was probably afraid he would die before he could fill his car up.  

Old people are sometimes just rude and inconsiderant.  They think they can do whatever they like.  Not on my watch though.

Don't get me wrong - I respect the older people, but some of them DO NOT DESERVE respect - they are just A$$ holes.

This did not happen to you because you are a biker - Something in the old man's head crapped out.

Answer 15

old men tend to get crotchety very quick..they also think there is no-one that should be before them anywhere..that's why they barge their way through shops to get at the front of a queue..and have no time to be kind to others..I'm 66 and find i too am a bit short at times with kids noise etc..

Answer 16

I wonder what color the sky is in Joe's little world?

Answer 17

i would have beat gis ***!!!with a bat!!

Answer 18

LMAO! Another Joe B i'm such a tough guy story.A legend in his own mind.The only appointment you better not miss is the one with the shrink thats treating your delusions.

                       GET HELP JOE

Seriously people go read his questions on his profile if you need a good laugh TFF

Answer 19

Can't say I've ever had this type of problem. Maybe it's the vest with all the patches on it. Most people I meet at the station give a smile and a nod or try to act like their invisible. Go figure.

Answer 20

I don't have a motorcycle but once I was threatened with the "calling the cops" thingy because I punched a guy's face who cursed me for not filling my car faster.

Answer 21

this never happend,just as you dont even ride a bike,tough guy
