Gas Drama

Living in cheapskate WNY, the price of gas and many other things has brought real sticker shock to our area. The gas station that has the best prices has .05 cents off every gallon most week-ends. I was out and about on a non-working Saturday so I made sure I paid a visit. The gas station is on a tiny piece of property--it's hard to move. Pumps are located in the front and the back. I pulled into the back where there is a gas pump followed by a diesel one. Someone pulled in behind me. I decided I would try to be nice to the guy behind me and attempt a ten point turn to get to the pump on the other side. I made my move but decided not go through with it. I pulled around to the front. The pump that I could use was occupied by two cars but one was about to leave. They'd use the exit immediately available and I'd slide in behind them. Before I knew it, an elderly woman was cued up blocking the car's exit. I hit my buzzer. I was courteous and gave up my pump and I had to maneuver around several tight areas to get into position. She wanted me to back up my car to the pump directly behind me. I said no and explained that she needs to go around, I did so and had to go past 3 people. I said, "I'm getting my gas and I'm leaving, the heck with it." She didn't say anything else. Good thing, too because I wasn't in the mood. This was uncharacteristic behavior but in all honesty, I'm tired of getting worked by jerks. Normally, I'm very charitable and courteous. So many people are ill-mannered--I don't want to be thought of this way so I really try. I put my foot down in this instance because grandma was trying to cut the line and impose upon me to do so. I'm not really great at backing up in tight spaces so I declined. Why should I hit something just to help her out? She cut, plain and simple. I got my gas, made my tight three point turn, reversed the car (rather than back it up) and headed for the exit. Not to be impolite but suck it, lady.
