Or "The needs of the many triumph over the needs of the few". In this story, one SC was ruthlessly cut down in order to allow sane customers use of a service, in this case, the air and water tower.
Our air and water tower is free, however, this sometimes produces SCs. One such SC was Crazy Lady. CL decided, without the slightest evidence of such concepts as common sense or sanity, to wash her car at the air and water tower, using the free water. Three problems with this decision.
1. It was a road to nowhere, given the fact that her car was coated in an oily sludge which required the use of car shampoo and hot water to remove. Therefore, her efforts merely moved the sludge round and round her car without making the slightest impression on the dirt.
2. She was hogging the air and water tower for over an hour with her useless endeavors, therefore making it impossible for anyone else to use it.
3. She was annoying several sane customers with her stupid actions, including many regulars. Said regulars had asked her to move and pointed out the futility of her actions; she had responded with abuse.
So my colleague and I decided to switch off the air and water tower in order to save CL from her own stupidity and also free it up for the sane regulars. When the water shut off, by her reactions, CL thought she had broken it. She laid rubber getting out of the petrol station. XD
