So a friend of mine was on her way to work today when she gets a flat tire. Luckily, so she thought, she was right across the street from a gas station so she pulled in and gets ready to start changing it.

The problem isn't that she doesn't know how to change the tire. She does. The problem is that she's very, very small. The top of her head doesn't even pass my shoulder. She may barely be over 100 pounds. Hence, getting the nuts off so she can get the tire off the car is the hardest part. So she walks inside and asks someone at this EXXON station if someone can help her change it. Not change it for her. Just help her. The guy says they "aren't that kind of service center." Somewhat incredulous, she asks if there's someone nice enough to help her anyway. "We aren't nice, either," said the man.

Eventually some customers helped her. But before she was back on the way out, the douchebag inside even asked her to hurry up and move her car. Some "service" center.

This girl is one of the nicest, sweetest personalities you'll ever come across. ****ing amazing.
 
That is absolutely pathetic. I mean what's happened to basic human decency? I'm glad somebody eventually helped her.

Maybe she should try being more attractive!

;D
 
Gas stations and service stations are different. If there weren't bays it's not a service station. If it was a gas station with like a store, and the person was working alone, they probably couldn't stop minding the store to help.

If none of those situations are true, then they're just douches.

She'll be reporting to corporate headquarters that the guy told her they aren't nice, correct?

If it's an independently owned station, they aren't gonna do much.

Clark:How much do we owe?

Mechanic: How much you got?

Clark: C'mon, seriously. How much do we owe?

Mechanic: [waving a wrench] I said all of it, boy.

Clark: What does your sheriff think of your business practices?

[Mechanic laughs and shows his sheriff's badge.]
 
I love that movie.


Sorry about your friend, 'Butt. If I were there, I'd have turned her nuts for her. And that's not a euphemism. I'm just a nice guy.

You set that one up there.

And surprisingly no one pounced on it.

(By the way: Nice sig.)
