I thought someone might say something like this, so let me explain again.
It was NOT a busy time on the roads (9pm on a weeknight), and didn't notice anyone following my car into the driveway. The gas station was also quite empty. I pulled in, and honestly believed nobody was behind me, and I could grab whichever pump I wanted. So I just stopped at the first one I encountered.
Again, I would NOT have stopped there if it were busy, or even if I noticed the guy behind me.
I still don't know how close behind me this guy was. It's possible I didn't notice because he wasn't behind me at first, but then came in a few seconds after me, assumed I would pull all the way forward, and got mad when I didn't.
Interesting how close this poll is so far.
