Steve’s Heartburn: The Gas Pump Campers

Listener Michelle sent in today’s Steve’s Heartburn, and this one hits just about everybody who has ever pulled into a busy gas station with the fuel light staring them down.

Her Heartburn?

People who get gas… then just sit there at the pump.

They’re done pumping. The nozzle is back. The receipt is printed. The transaction is over. But instead of pulling forward or parking, they sit there texting, talking, scrolling, checking email, or apparently conducting a quarterly business meeting from pump number four.

Meanwhile, three other cars are waiting behind them, everybody’s gas light is blinking, and the tension is rising faster than the price of premium.

The gas pump is not a parking spot. It is not a mobile office. It is not a phone booth with unleaded.

Get gas. Pull away. Then text, talk, scroll, or solve the world’s problems from an actual parking space.

Michelle, we feel this one.
