Is that a blue port-a-potty on the right?

You don't miss *shit*, do you xoB?

It is, I'd cropped the picture a little, I'd taken it while underway and didn't think it helped the composition.

Excellent catch.

It makes sense, a charging station should have the same facilities as a gas station. Presumably since the charging takes longer than a fill up the people who have nowhere to go need a place to go.

Electric UPS trucks 70 or 80 years apart.

Why on earth would he do that? For some reason, it must have been too much trouble to turn the car around the other way. Maybe there was a long line and he didn't want somebody else to pull in and take the pump while he was maneuvering. But there is no indication of a long line, that we can see.

People can be stupid, sure, but there has to be a reason he did that. think of how much trouble he went through to climb through the back seat, roll down the windows and push the hose out the other side to reach, walk around and begin fueling.

Were drugs involved? Is there a drug out there that could make your brain that creative at problem solving, but impair your judgement that much?

Is it possible he is unexperienced at pumping gas? He looks old enough to have pumped gas hundreds of times.

He might genuinely be out of gas. That exact situation happened once when I was a kid, my dad's girlfriend at the time was running low all afternoon and ignoring it, and when we finally pulled into the gas station her car died at the pump--and we were facing backwards. (As to why she faced the wrong direction with a car she'd owned for years, well...) She first tried to start the engine up again to turn around, but when she couldn't, I had to get out and help her yank the pump cable tightly over the trunk so she could get it to to the opposite side.

Oh, is that a gas pump? My bad, thought it was a charge cord.
No problem, applies to both. I've seen that at gas stations so many times, especially on divided highways where the cars coming in are all going the same way. Just pull to the right or left depending on which side your filler is on. Not your car? It shows right on the gas gage.
It seem more cars have the filler on the left because places like the Jersey Pike the cars pulling to the right of the pumps are about three to one. But there's inevitably somebody sees the other side is open and tries to drag the hose over the car. :facepalm:

I saw this a few weeks ago. May or may not be for real.

She's hot enough, she should get a pass.
