ANGRY MINUTE #0027: Gas Station Carwash
It’s a beautiful January day here in Ohio (which means it is 29F with Scattered Flurries) and before venturing towards work today I decided to stop off and let the old automobile grab a nice cold drink. We’ve all been there before, you swipe your card at the gas pump, push the 400 keys to insist it truly is gas you wish to purchase, and just before you can start making your sale an advertisement pops up on the screen asking if you’d like a car wash with your gas.
A car wash? Really? In the middle of FARKING winter?!? Really? REALLY!
This doesn’t make sense to me at all, and is just down right annoying. Why is it annoying? Let’s go to the LIST OF ANGER to discuss!
LIST OF ANGER GAS STATION CAR WASH EDITION:
1. Paying At The Pump – Maybe they great gas Gods think it is just more convenient to pay for my car wash at the gas pump. Why this makes any sense is beyond me, because even if I buy a car wash at the gas pump I still have to travel over to the car wash area, wait in line, and then when I’m next I need to punch in a code so the car wash knows I already paid. So why in the BLUE HELL don’t I just pay for the car wash… AT THE FRAKING CAR WASH?!?!? If anything this popup at the pump COSTS me time because typically I don’t need to wash my car EVERY FRAKING TIME I pump gas!
2. Oh The Weather Outside Is Frightful – Did I mention that it’s winter? Maybe I could tolerate these advertisements (because that is really what they are) if it was a beautiful summer day. The idea of having my shitmobile sparkling in the sunlight is a majestic thought, but the truth is there is snow in the sky and a car wash is the last thing on my mind. Instead they want to waste my time at the pump instead of letting me do my business. Frakin jerks.
3. If At First You Don’t Succeed – Plain and simple these “suggestions” for a car wash at the pump is just another form of advertisements, and I think it needs to stop. Doesn’t it piss you off when you are trying to buy something and the seller pipes up, “Would you like to buy a bag of Doritos for $1.29? How about one of out Energy Drinks, 2 for $3.49?” Maybe if I was getting a deal or even some savings I can understand, but I’m not. They are just trying to sell me a car wash, no discount or anything. Well FRAK them.
========================
