My sister and I were on a mini road trip when we experienced some car issues. The car was towed to a small town gas station. The gas station not only had a garage, but also rented moving trucks.

My sister and I were sitting in the gas station waiting in line to pay for the repairs so we could head back out on the road. The customer before us is in the process of renting one of the moving trucks. The cashier offers the guy insurance on his rental. Instead of just saying “no thank you”, the guy loses his mind and starts berating this poor worker. He keeps going on about how the cashier is trying to scam him out of money and what not. He finally finishes up the rental process and goes to pick up the rental truck that is sitting out front.

My sister and I pay for our repairs and check in with the cashier to make sure they were okay. They say they are fine so we head out front where our car is parked.

Remember, this is a gas station…while my sister and I are standing out front, the idiot customer that was screaming about insurance finally starts up the truck rental and starts backing it out of the parking space. the problem is, he doesn’t stop backing up…he eventually backs over one of the gas pumps and knocks it completely over. Gas starts spewing out of the ground like a geyser. The cashier comes out where we are standing and we all just stare in disbelief.

My sister and I look at each other and run to our car to get the hell out of there as fast as possible. They had plenty of witnesses already for the authorities and we had a wedding to get to. Plus, our car was far enough away from the gas spewing out of the ground that we could safely leave. Had we waited a few minutes longer, that would not have been the case. And yes, the mechanic that was outside watching this mess gave us the all clear.

Just goes to show you, the universe doesn’t like jerks…
