I was driving back to Minneapolis from Columbus, Ohio (driving back an '89 900T vert I won on eBay), when got some gas in a very isolated gas station near Lafayette, Indiana.
I went inside to use the facilities, and 50-ish woman was complaining to the attendant that the automatic cut-off on the pump had failed, and spilled some gas on her car -- a brand new BMW Z4. Judging from her tone, you'd have thought her car was totalled. This was a Saturday afternoon (July 23rd, to be exact), the attendant was a clueless high school student, who not at all sympathetic. "Who do I call if my car starts rusting?" was one of the rather sarcastic, pointed comments I overhead.
It took a fair amount of self-discipline on my part not to intervene in the conversation. I'm a lawyer, I've learned the hard way -- leave the crazies and nutballs alone, they are impervious to any logic or argument that might get in the way of venting their alleged grievances.
