There is are gas-stations at both the on ramp and the off ramps that I take to and from work. Although I rarely purchase gas at either I notice the prices. The prices that change daily or twice a day actually. Sometimes it’s merely by one cent, other times it can go up and down by five cents in one day. I know this because I’ve started to pay close attention and the words I find myself saying outloud as I pass them is, “You’re freaking kidding me!”
What happens if you pull into the gas station and the price is $2.94, as you pull out you see that they changed it to $2.89, are you allowed to go in and get the difference? If it was reversed, do they charge you the difference before they leave? Is there someone hired to sit by a site and click refresh over and over again alerting when prices change? Do prices truly change daily like that? WHAT IS GOING ON??
Today I’ve noted that the on ramp price was $2.91, the off ramp one was $2.87. Dare I slip the prices into a daily blog so you can go crazy with me- or am choosing a silly thing to rant at?
I’ve also decided to rename the slow lane on the highway as the “cell phone lane”. People casually slow down to almost a crawl so they can text, dial etc. in this lane. I know this because as I’m trying to get on the highway after checking the contstantly changing gas prices there will be two open lanes (the center and the far left aka passing lane). These cell phone people will horde the far right lane making it a risk while you’re trying to merge. I see them looking down at their device or their head tilted so far in which they seem deformed because thier cell phone creates a bridge between their head and their shoulder.
Perhaps the gas station people rely on distracted cell phone drivers to over look the prices. HA! Little do they know that I’m the last person on Earth who doesn’t own one of these technological leashes. Granted if I wind up in a wreck on an isolated road in the middle of no where I’m wolf food, but I’m good with that.
I want to ram them, ram them all.
I’m tired. I’m going to pop some Tylenol sleep aid and change my scowl to closed and rested eyes so I can wake up in the morning and note the prices mocking prices.
