advantures at the gas station

this occurred at an empty esso gas station pump this evening at about 7:15 pm.

I had just finished pumping when a white cube truck started backing into the spot I was in. He kept getting closer and closer, honking his horn while his reverse chime was beeping.

Truck Driver: "HEY IDIOT! YOU'RE AT THE DIESEL PUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET OUT OF THE GOD DAMN WAY!!!!!!!!!!!"

(I just pointed to the other side of the pump, which was still diesel, and vacant)

The truck driver stepped on the gas violent and sped around to the other side.

Truck Driver: "F***!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU? SOME KIND OF IDIOT?????? CAN YOU F***ING READ???????????????????"

Me: yes.

Truck Driver: "WELL THEN, WHY THE F*** WOULD YOU PARK YOUR CAR IN A F***ING DIESEL SPOT? LOOK AT IT! IT'S YELLOW!!!!!!! A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE OTHERS, DON'T YOU THINK?......... GOD, I WISH YOU KIDS WOULD THINK FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND BE MORE F***ING CONSIDERATE"

(insert more profanities here - something about not having to follow rules and thinking "we" don't have to follow rules etc.)

Truck Driver: "F***ing ridiculous......................... F***ing ridiculous........................."

A few moments of silence go by. His face is RED and he continues to give me dirty looks.

Me: "Um, do you know what TDI means?"

Truck Driver: "Excuse me???????????"

Me: "TDI. Do you know what it means?"

Truck Driver: "WH.... Oh..... F***." (Takes a peak at the back of my car) "F***. F*** man, I'm so sor.."

Me: "....shutup!"

True story.

Moron.

PS for those that don't know, TDI stands for Turbo Diesel Injection.

iPod mini's may not be that bad after all...

so the short of it is that if you have an iPod mini (yeah, an iPod MINI! remember those? came in a bunch of colors? before color screens? no, it wasn't THAT long ago), you can increase it's memory and battery to MORE than a new nano for LESS money. so why not?

sometimes... well, a lot of the time I'm glad other people have this much spare time and curiosity.

check out how to turn your iPod mini into a flash-based iPod here.

got time?

check out this beautiful form of internet procrastination by milk (got milk?). i seriously can't believe how good this thing looks. so if you've got a half hour or want to fill a half hour, then check it out. or just check it out even if it's just to see the amazing quality. that will prolly take you a half hour. you + get the glass = half an hour of your time. it's inevitable.
