        Sure, he’s like that on the surface, but I bet his station is willing to accept huge, suggestively shaped loads, if you know what I mean.

          Of course it’s a joke.

          The jokes you tell are a window into your personality and this one looks rotten.

            The ability to make a silly dumb joke about a minor occupational annoyance is a window into being able to laugh at yourself. Your inability to look at someone making a silly joke without making political condemnations about their character says more about you than about them.

                Tongue in cheek threats are in fact funny to a tremendous number of people since time immemorial. I’m sorry you don’t approve of the way some people enjoy being silly.

                Y’know the cheese shop sketch? The famous monty python sketch where John Cleese ends it with shooting the cheese shop owner for wasting his time? Basically the same joke, famously funny sketch. You just have opinions about “this type of person”

                  Oh wow, comparing some rundown shithole “you’ll be shot” sign to Monty Python. totally the same thing. one’s a legendary, meticulously written comedy sketch, and the other is just some backwoods inbred clown thinking threats are peak humor. But sure, those fragile pieces of shit that open carry in an Applebees to feel manly, probably also love Monty python, what do I know.

                  Also satire is lost on this as this situation has probably actually happened in America plenty of times and it’s now reality.

                    So you agree, the only difference between the jokes is that one is high brow and well said, and the other is low brow and written on a sign at a truck stop. I don’t know how you can read what you wrote and not see that you obviously have a chip on your shoulder regarding the types of people associated with the setting rather than some intellectually honest issue with what’s in the picture. Just say “I can’t find this funny because I fucking hate blue collar Americans”. You can do it, you can just say that instead of this “removed eating crackers” bullshit.

      … nobody came forward to say that the image is in fact photoshopped? It’s part of the joke. It’s from a facebook group that does these things.

      It’s a joke about truckers that fuel and then fuck around while the guy behind them is fuming with impatience. LOL, I’ve been that guy.

      “OH FFS MOVE!”

      Besides, truckers are on more of a schedule than the rest of us tooling around.

        Thank you! This makes the most sense. I was wondering what was wrong with “please pull forward when done fueling” without threatening violence. A common annoyance plus and inside joke makes a lot more sense.

        even if your arent a trucker its so annoying when someone fills thier gas then walks off into the store to buy a snack, like just go park in front of the store. one time the gas station clerk came to tell one guy to move his car because he was just there working on it with the hood open after he got gas, the dude got so mad he jumped in his car and sped off, which was great for us that were waiting for an open spot

            They don’t let you pump before you pay here and usually the pump has a card reader on it so I never go inside unless I need to use the restroom or something
