So late last night, after validatioooooon …<\/p>\n
I was on my way home.<\/p>\n
And saw a gas station that was selling gas about 8 cents per gallon less than the normal $2,351.46\/gallon than we’re currently paying (please note though, at least in my home state, $2,350.48 of that is for taxes).<\/p>\n
Seeing that I’m rather familiar with the neighborhood (actually ‘hood would be the better term) through which I was driving, and …<\/p>\n
Felt moderately safe there,<\/p>\n
Plus it being a nice, well lighted national chain and all,<\/p>\n
I decided to top off my gas tank before they raised the prices.<\/p>\n
So there I was, ‘lil ol’ me, pumping gas in my car …<\/p>\n
When I hear this huge, loud commotion going on near the side of the gas station\/convenience store building …<\/p>\n
Two guys are pissed about something.<\/p>\n
I couldn’t understand everything being said,<\/p>\n
But it was apparent,<\/p>\n
They were close to coming to blows,<\/p>\n
Or something physical.<\/p>\n
Which is when I did something incredibly stupid.<\/p>\n
I looked over in the direction of the fight …<\/p>\n
And stared just a little too long.<\/p>\n
I know better.<\/p>\n
I don’t know what I was thinking.<\/p>\n
You don’t look.<\/p>\n
You don’t stare.<\/p>\n
And the smaller of the two guys in the yelling match,<\/p>\n
For some reason must have felt me looking,<\/p>\n
Turned, saw me and we made eye contact.<\/p>\n
“What are you looking at bitch?<\/i>“, he screamed at me, taking a few steps in my direction with that “I’m a tough guy” walk. You know the walk … … they that a firm step forward and at the same time dip their forward foot side shoulder down. Ohhhhhh … so tough.<\/p>\n
So there I was, all in the quest for saving a phreaking 8 cents a gallon, faced with having to do some quick thinking.<\/p>\n
Good thing it’s my specialty. \ud83d\ude42
\n
\nFirst of all, I thought about responding by telling him I was looking at … “A tiny man with bad teeth and a really, really small penis.<\/i>” Fortunately, however, sometimes I can exercise descretion and wisely chose not to say that.<\/p>\n
Then I thought about totally just letting fear overcome me and freezing in place. It was a very desirable option, tempting, yes tempting. One I seriously considered, but no … I chose not to go with that one, remembering that inaction is rarely ever the best decision.<\/p>\n
So I went with my last option … assess my situation and plan my response.<\/p>\n
Let’s see, Tiny Tough Man With The Small Penis was taking steps towards me.<\/p>\n
I doubt I could make it to my driver’s side car door to get safely in my car.<\/p>\n
If I made a run for the gas station\/convenience store building, Tiny Tough Man With The Small Penis would definitely be able to cut me off before I got there.<\/p>\n
There were two other people at the pumps,<\/p>\n
But neither seemed like people I could count on for assistance.<\/p>\n
Soooooo …<\/p>\n
My only option was to quickly put the gas pump away, enter my car from the passenger side and hope I could get in there to lock the doors before Tiny Tough Man With The Small Penis made it to my car.<\/p>\n
Damage to my car is always better than damage to me.<\/p>\n
But just as I made that decision,<\/p>\n
Much Bigger Guy That Was Going To Win The Fight Unless A Gun Was Involved called into question the masculinity of Tiny Tough Man With The Small Penis … apparently because Tiny Tough Man With The Small Penis was walking away from him to yell at a woman.<\/p>\n
I also believe Much Bigger Guy That Was Going To Win The Fight Unless A Gun Was Involved referred to me in a fairly derogatory sense …<\/p>\n
But at this point, I really didn’t care.<\/p>\n
In fact, if it would have gotten me out of that particular situation, I’d have readily agreed with Much Bigger Guy That Was Going To Win The Fight Unless A Gun Was Involved …<\/p>\n
“Yuhp, you bet. I sure am a …..<\/i>”<\/p>\n
Now personally, I’m of the opinion that Much Bigger Guy That Was Going To Win The Fight Unless A Gun Was Involved did this out of the kindness of his heart to save me from a very uncomfortable, increasingly dangerous situation.<\/p>\n
Though on the other hand,<\/p>\n
I guess it’s also possible that he did it because he was the Much Bigger Guy That Was Going To Win The Fight Unless A Gun Was Involved …<\/p>\n
And it would be an easy win for him.<\/p>\n
Either way …<\/p>\n
Tiny Tough Man With The Small Penis lost interest in me and turned back towards Much Bigger Guy That Was Going To Win The Fight Unless A Gun Was Involved.<\/p>\n
Apparently Tiny Tough Man With The Small Penis also has a really short attention span.<\/p>\n
I briskly put the pump away, returned the cap to my gas tank and got into my car from the driver’s side of the car.<\/p>\n
No, I didn’t even finish filling my tank.<\/p>\n
I just wanted to leave.<\/p>\n
Though in the future,<\/p>\n
If Tiny Tough Man With The Small Penis decides to key my car or call me names,<\/p>\n
At least now he has a good reason …<\/p>\n
For just before I pulled out of the parking lot,<\/p>\n
After making sure I was going to be able to pull out immediately,<\/p>\n
I looked back towards Tiny Tough Man With The Small Penis …<\/p>\n
Tilted my head,<\/p>\n
Made a pouty lip face,<\/p>\n
Placed my hand visibly in front of my driver’s side window, and<\/p>\n
Separated my forefinger from my thumb about 1\/2 inch.<\/p>\n
I don’t think Tiny Tough Man With The Small Penis saw me,<\/p>\n
I don’t think any of the other people by the commotion saw me,<\/p>\n
But I sure felt better.<\/p>\n
Anyways, I’m pretty sure that Much Bigger Guy That Was Going To Win The Fight Unless A Gun Was Involved will never see this …<\/p>\n
But still …<\/p>\n
Thanks for the help.<\/p>\n
