Topping off the pump at Costco. Today, the lines were halfway long, my Beemer has the cap on the right, unlike most cars, but one of the lanes to the left of the pumps had room for one. I zip over and a guy in the adjacent lane moved in just before me. Oh well, no big. Then the guy goes through a long song and dance to pull the hose over to the driver's side of the car, fumbles with looping it under his bumper, still hasn't started the flow. Finally gets it going, then when it's done, does a sloooowwww topping off - it was obvious, I saw it pop off at full, then the guy does the slow squeeze, lets off, does the slow squeeze.

I'm trying real hard not to be the aggressive ass-hat these days, especially with older, nerdy looking guys who I could tower over if I was standing next to them - too bully-like. I was biting my tongue, just about to holler out the window, "do you know what topping off means, and why there's a sign on the pump that says NO TOPPING OFF?!?

Jeez, it's tough being a gentleperson sometimes.
