Former gas station manager here.
The vast majority of people fill up in the morning. Then they accused us of making them late for work.
“That’s a problem for future me, that guy’s a jerk anyway.”
the next morning: “Past me is an asshole.”
Past me is always an asshole.
Future me always has dedication and motivation that I’ve never before had in my life…but I’m sure he’ll have it all figured out by tomorrow.
Calm down Karkat
no
I shave my head. I have to shave it every two or three days or I look like a mangy old dog. I wait until just before I go to bed to shave it, at which point I’m too tired and I tell myself I’ll do it in the morning before work, which of course I never do. So I end up shaving it once every three weeks, and spend most of the time looking like a mangy old dog.
I eventually hit upon the strategy of shaving a small patch somewhere on my head before I go to bed, which forces me to do the rest of the job in the morning before work. Except that I usually forget I did that and often go to work looking like a mangy old dog that somebody tried to shave before giving up. Fortunately I’m a school bus driver so I only scare children.
It is halloween all year-round.
so relatable lol
laughs in forgot to plug in my EV
Oh … I had thought this was about eating beans last night.
Cries in failed to connect
Is this somekind of joke Im too non-american to understand?
I assumed it was about pricing
here in Ontario, gas is maybe 10-15% cheaper in the morning
couple that with american gas guzzlers
For me it’s purely about having to get up a bit earlier and remembering that I need to get gas instead of running out of the house at the last possible minute. I have ADHD, maybe that explains it better.
Yeah, I mean I get gas after dinner, sometimes, from too many veggies. So. I guess the joke makes sense. 😏
🎵 Plug it in, Plug it in 🎶
My 20 year old pickup will still be on the road when that EV is scrapped lol
EV exists:
Nah just trying to save folks from wasting their money. ALL new cars are junk, gas or EV
EV is just a scam meant to bail the car industry out for a few more years
You sound bitter. Probably from wasting all that time at the gas pump.
My EV will be in the garage because its not out of gas
Or on fire in the garage and no way to put it out ha
The majority of early EV fires were from a single battery factory accidentally placing battery terminals too close together. This affected only Chevy Bolts, and has been fixed with a recall.
Even including this data, combustion engine cars are over 60 times more likely to catch fire than EVs (1,529.9 fires per 100,000 vehicles for ICE vs 25.1 for EV).
It looks like you’re the one who might need to start carrying around a fire extinguisher, just in case.
I’m pretty confident that if your vehicle caught fire you wouldn’t be able to put it out either way
My 15 year old EV is still driving like new. I had the battery replaced last month, not because the battery didn’t work, but because newer batteries have much more range and are cheap enough to be worth the upgrade. I’m planning to keep driving it for at least another 20 years.
This 100 year old EV is still driving with minimal maintenance. I don’t think EVs need to be scrapped particularly quickly.
Pavement princess spotted
It has more scratches than paint but it’s mechanically sound
must be nice to live somewhere without salt
I wish I could keep cars more than 20 years old
Yeah I came from a salt region and moved to a no salt region and man it’s incredible. My Chevy has almost no rust, totally unheard of where I come from
2004 F150 here. :)
How many harmonic balancers has that thing gone through?
Mate my music taste is brilliant. Ive never worn a stereo out yet…
Triton? It’s still kicking? Haha
No idea what’s under the hood, never had anything under there fixed.
This kills the fuel pump.
I get gas on Friday mornings, every second or third week. I leave a little earlier and if I’m a little late to work, who cares. And when I’m at the gas station I get myself a little something extra too
Your boss and you get written up or fired?
Not everyone gets a good boss.
Meanwhile I wake up daily in the range of 6am to october 2034.
Too many beans?
Always stop with the 239th bean.
One more and it’s too farty
Edit: I feel like a spy using code phases
Or maybe a dentist
Many such cases (me)
I’m fortunate that a lot of stuff is east of me, and that leaving my house and going east on the nearby highway there’s a gas station right there.
But on that off chance I have to go north, I’m screwed. And those are the days I leave it for tomorrow.
Same with putting air in the tires, especially with the change of seasons.
literally the one thing I can do, but I have battery pumps where you set the psi and fuck off until its done, and it works for bike and car without leaking if I forget about it
