Funny: Thank You BP, I have now met a cave critter!
Unless you live under a rock and don’t interact with people… ever! Then you would be aware of the massive oil leak that is coming from a broken pipe owned by British Petroleum aka BP. Well a girl I met the other day who lives under that rock and apparently just happened to have been kidnapped and brought into the public because there is no other way to explain how out of the loop this girl apparently is.
I’m supposed to close the store at midnight each night. Well tonight I managed to get all of the lights turned off outside over the pumps and I was just about to lock the door on time when a car pulls up and a girl gets out.
Girl: “So this is going to be a really strange question.”
Me: “Okay.” (Thinking to myself oh what am I in for).
Girl: “I know this is a gas station but do you know where a Speedway is around here?”
Me: “If my boss knew I was directing you to another gas station I’m sure he would not be happy but since I’ve already closed up shop and I want to get out of here, I’ll tell you.” (I tell her but that is unimportant to the story).
Girl: “Thanks so much.” (She opens up the car door and decides to flick me off as she gets into the car)
Me: “What is that all about?”
Girl: “Good luck cleaning up the oil spill!”
I don’t work at a BP. My gas station has absolutely nothing to do with British Petroleum. I assume that she wanted to get gas from a Speedway because Speedway isn’t part of the oil spill problem. I will give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that she isn’t going around to all of the open gas stations and being a serial pain the ass but who knows I suppose.
