(prat...such a lovely word....ancients bless you brits from a yank across the pond...)
So I'm driving home and notice that my gas tank is about to say nasty words to me, and pulled into the local gas station. I get behind an older gentleman (60s maybe), and wait my turn in line.
The guy is quiet and patient, until its his turn where he puts money on the counter says nothing and just walks away outside presumably to his car.
my response? "God, did he expect you to just magically read his mind? I may be scatter brained sometimes but I normally will at least say X amount on pump...um...6 or 7, I at least most of the time know what pump I'm on even if I can't remember which pump number is on which side, by the way....could I please have $15 on pump 4 and 2 number 5s (lottery scratch tickets)"
The cashier almost died laughing, and we commiserated on people like the gentleman....I gave her this site and walked off happy.
