This phrase can annoy me one of two ways:

1. It's really a 2001 318i and it's barely a BMW. (no offense guys)
2. It's a fawking 2014 BMW M6 and it's not just a BMW.
agreed.

He does this shit all the time. He knows I leave at 6:00. At 5:55 he requests 6 reports and needs them within 10 minutes. Then he wants to discuss them!

I made a smart comment the other day and said: Tomorrow let’s not use the bathroom. I want to see what my dog feels like when I’m not home after 12 hours.

People that leave cars parked at gas station pump after they are done filling up so they can go buy xyz stuff.

This really annoys me to no end and I see it happen every time I fill up.

Sooooo...., we are supposed to fill up, get in our car, drive 20 feet forward to park again, then proceed to walk inside to get xyz, then leave?


I'm sorry, but I'm not going to move my car for a 5/10 minute trip inside the store.

I'm what gets to you.

That's what I do.

If there is a car behind you and two cars in front of you and all three people are inside.....I have to wait for one of them to come back so I can leave the station.

Time is money

I only leave my car there when I'm going inside the store because I turn it in to a single transaction and pay for the gas (assuming I am able to/because the Midwest is still apparently full of trustworthy people) and xyz stuff at the same time.

I hate waiting on lines just as much as the next guy but just think back to when Sandy hit and we were waiting hours upon hours to fill up.. what's 5 minutes?

Before if I had to wait for 1 car, I would just go to the next station..

Well...., what happens if I am so exhausted from refueling the petrol, that I find myself needing a cool beverage after such an event?


Pumping petrol can be quite a tiring experience!

What precisely is taking you close to 10 minutes inside the store? Are you doing a full grocery pickup at your local gas station?

2 min top for the credit card to process and line, etc.

Sometimes I might want a KitKat, sometimes I might want a Snickers, maybe I want an ICEE but I'm not sure which flavor...., important life threatening choices like this require time, patience, and an end goal.


10 minutes is a bit of an over exaggeration, for the sake of an argument.
