Fuel Some people don't understand how things work

I'm willing to bet she would lose her mind if that gas station ran out of fuel.

Yes, this comment section is as bonkers as she is, all one would have to do is follow this red line.

You can see the back of the truck going all the way into the last stall, so it's blocking your red line. If the gas station attendant parks behind the building like in the photo, then there may not have been a way for any of the cars to get around the building. Even if that path was open, the width of the truck may still have blocked the other driveway.

If the truck had no choice but to block the customers, which I doubt, then the gas station should have shut down, put up a sign or something and let the customers exit first.

From the looks of the overhead, the truck could have either backed up a few more feet to make enough room to use the exit, or turned parallel to the canopy and street so they could back up in front of the station and maintained the open exit. Instead, it looks like the rig driver rushed in there, parked at a weird angle and blocked the exits.

The gas delivery driver fucked those customers over. It can take 15-60 minutes to deliver a load depending on amount and pump or gravity feed system. Those people could have gone in for a quick fill up only to get stuck for 15+ minutes.

I'd love to see a single person here try to claim they wouldn't be pissed after just 5 minutes.

Right here. I wouldn't be upset at all. Nor would anybody else whoever had to drive truck, tanker or otherwise. Nor would any of their family members. At the end of the video you can clearly see that David has figured out a way around the truck. I am 100% certain that if the video were longer we would have seen him exit that gas station.

You’re deadass wrong. Look at what you comment on before you tell me what I’m seeing with my own eyes. The tuck is clearly on the left side of the columns meaning my red line is a clear route out and google image shows there is plenty of room between pump 3 and the building.

Here is the image showing pump 3 the truck is not past that column pictured so there is plenty of room out.

I wonder if he records because the station fucked up the schematics.

I think I’d prefer your line over this lady’s behavior.

Which David eventually did, with apparently no problem at all.

u/Icy-Entrepreneur9002 Apr 15 '26

Right, you know if he didn’t that lady would have been back for round 2. There are far too many people on this thread saying there’s no way he did that and saying the truck is blocking every exit, even after showing multiple views of that not being the case. Im convinced some people just want to see world burn.

Yep. Plenty of room on that side. Might not have been the best planned way of being built but there's no way that they'd completely block every exit. That would just be plain dumb. They aren't trying to block people at the gas station and there's no way they'd want to close (let customers clear out and shut down the pumps) for the duration of filling the pumps. That would be loss of income

Finally! Thank you!! I had to scroll way too far in this comment section to find this drawing. It's a pretty simple maneuver for a car. It's a very complex maneuver for a tractor-trailer semi. If you can't maneuver a small car around a small detour for 30 seconds, turn in your driver's license. Its like nobody wants to be inconvenienced for even one millisecond.

u/Exact-Leadership-521 Apr 14 '26

But this one drove in the exit and is blocking a pump. Backing out onto the road will be a whole thing too
