    Default 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.

    Lol I like it. Did he make sure to go down the line of cars and point out their ridiculousness.

    I was getting pissed about this same thing two weekends ago. Me and friends were driving to Virginia and obviously had to get gas a couple times along the way. We kept having to deal with lines at gas stations because of retarded panic.

    LOL. This **** is ridiculous. I went with my girl today to get gas and she had her windows down and she asked me why it was like this every where for the past few days and I explained to her that it was because people are idiots and they believe everything they hear. Well apparently the guy in front of us heard me and he was like you're too young to understand this stuff. The pump stops pumping and I looked and he got a gallon and a half

    On the local news here, they just had a thing about the gas shortages specifically in Atlanta and showed the lines and interviewed some people.

    Pathetic.

    I have watched people barely put in any gas it is auto shutting off. They are topping off 20 bucks and less. Get out of line and GO HOME.

    Let's see...you went out and contributed to the problem, filling up 2 cars, just to avoid the problem.....I'm sorry, the logic of that completely escapes me....??? How does that action raise you above the problem, or make you smarter than the rest of the sheeple, exactly? To me, it sounds like the worst of the "I got mine, fcuk the rest of ya" mentality that I think is the single biggest problem in our society today: the "I'm entitled" mentality.

    I had to fill up my g35 today, and it took me forever to find a station that had premium. The only place i could find around alpharetta was qt, and the line outside the gas station was atleast 15 cars deep..... I said **** it, and rode to dahalonega, got some gas and had a little fun in the mts.

    whats troubling is that most of the line is with cars that have fuel caps on the driver side. so its difficult to get to the pump in the correct orientation.

    I have that same problem. It's hard to get inline for a pump because everyone's going the wrong way. Next time I think I'll just reverse into the line
