    Atlanta Gas Shortage

    Sorry another gas thread... Don't know if everyone has seen the stupid people in Atlanta lining up at the pump to WAIT to get gas when they don't even need to fill up. This morning I waited 25 minutes to get 20 dollars of gas. While waiting the lady who started pumping AFTER me put in less gas and it auto cut off. I estimate she put in 3 or 4 gallons. Then to top it off she had a 5 gallon fuel container in the trunk she decided to fill up...

    Friend had an idea. Kind of humorous I thought since there are pictures.

    As you can tell he was REALLY excited to be doing this from his big smile

    :shifty





    Look at all the people waiting to wait in line to get their share of what is left.

    that's classic

    one of my friends here in winston-salem, NC, topped off his ZHP e46 to the tune of less than $5! And there was a line! Bastard! But at least he let me have his pump next

    Let's just call him "Tod", even tho his name is Jeff

      The sad thing is, the type of people that engage in behavior like this, probably don't know what exacerbate means.

          Someone asked him.

          Another person asked him if he was a Christian.

              First it was a water shortage there.

              Now it is a gas shortage there.

              Whats next, a Beer/Alcohol shortage there?

                If Beer/Alchohol shortage was combined with a 'dip' shortage and hooters closed it's doors. Damn dude it would be bedlam here, people would be dead in the streets.

                  i love how everyone is freaking out, however i drove down to the QT, filled up the e30 and there were no lines, no shenanigans. elevated prices are a norm now.

                    thats funny shit there I would have given him a 10 spot for making me laugh my ass off, but mostly for his time invested in the public service announcement


                    got me a full tank of diesel the other night an that will last me 3 weeks
                    now if I cant get diesel for the company truck (working in NY state) thats not cool, I have been runnign through about a tank a day (36 gal) but I am covering 3 tie in/drill crews that are 125 miles apart for the last week. I need to work and diesel makes the world go round

                              Maybe this makes me a total pig but given the same situation, I think I would have brought both of my 10-gallon cans and every other gas can that I could find around the house.

                              In the event of a shortage I would like to hope that everyone played fair and consumed only what they needed, but unfortunately in the real world if you don't look out for #1 you will end up on the short end of the stick.
