I must say, I would have said something. It doesn’t have to be two choices (say nothing, or be an ass). You could have approached her and said that you were waiting on the pump, and it was not appropriate or kind for her to jump ahead of you in that way. Just say that and be done with it; don’t engage in an argument. There is never anything wrong with standing up for yourself in a calm and direct manner.
Robert A. Heinlein said “The decline in civilization can be traced back to the decline in common courtesy.”
I truly believe that. But I would also add “And the decline in respect for others.”[/quote]
All good points, but personally I would have slipped into the bathroom and donned my urban ninja outfit. Then I would have used my stealth movement to sneak up behind her and perform ninja series #1, after which I would have returned home to calibrate with hours of drinking and debauchery.
Remember Genghis Khan said the decline of barbarian rape and pillage can be traced to a decline in large, rude, heavily armed men on horse back.
(Ninja series #1 consist of a ninja chop to the neck, followed by a flying elbow to the temple, and finished up with a body slam)

Why yes officer, I saw her speed through a busy intersection on a red. She almost hit a couple of kids on bikes.

You sure sound like you know what you are talking about.
I would have calmly walked up and hit the emergency stop button as soon as she started pumping.
If there wasn’t an emergency stop button, I would have opened my eyes up really wide, walked up to her, and said- “Do you like pudding? I like Pudding!” while trying to sound retarded.
An extremely deadpan ‘Were you going to move your car or should I?’ might tend to unnerve her without there being any implied physical threat to her.
Maintaining solid eye contact is also a must. If she tries to dismiss you just make a direct line for her driver’s door. Getting gas will suddenly be a smaller concern for her.
This one’s easy. When she’s not looking, spike one of her tires. Then when she comes looking for help changing her flat, calmly ignore her. At least until she offers to let you “do things” to her. Really degrading things. Then take her up on it. That will teach her to waste five minutes of your time, and remind her of her place all at the same time.
Everyone wins.
Inform the inconsiderate bitch she is just that and don’t give a shit what everyone else thinks, they will make up their minds regardless of what you do or don’t do.
I almost got pushed off the exit ramp by some stupid bitch that decided she wanted to get off too at the last possible second. I laid on the horn, flashed my brights and everything else to possibly get her attention. I pretty much drove into the ditch to avoid her running into me. The best part was she was blabbering on her cell the whole time and I doubt she even knew I was there.

I’ll take your word for it.[/quote]
Yeah, I’m pretty good at ninjitsu. I have over seven books on it. You should see Ninja series #2. It’s against the Geneva convention to use it on anything but bison and water buffalo.
When it comes down to it, woman are usually more catty and inconsiderate than men, because they will rarely ever receive a punch in the face for acting like a total bitch to someone. Most of the time when they get out of line with each other it’s a dirty look and some gossip, so they don’t mind doing it again because there will be no repercussions.
For instance, a girl at a bar once poured a white russian down my shirt for no reason other than she was drunk. If a guy did this, he would get smacked, and all men know that was the only viable outcome.
She probably did this intentionally because she assumed nothing would come of it, which it didn’t. Next time yell at her and call her a fucking bitch and you’ll shove that gasoline nozzle up her cunt if she doesn’t move her car. Then she will think twice about doing it to someone else. but you risk the consequences of her calling the cops, who will definitely side with her.
You could have rubbed your crotch, licked your lips and politely asked if you could “pump her gas”. Seriously though, I would have at least said something.

You so should have started a gasoline fight like in zoolander.
No, kidding. You did the right thing, it was minor. If there were lines on all of the pumps, then yeah I probably would have gone over and just said something like “You know, its not so hard to wait in line like everyone else.”
I mean, for all we know, she could have been in a rush to get home to make dinner and have it ready for her husband before he came home from work.
Ok, so that last comment was sarcasm, too… yeah, you did the right thing.[/quote]

You can’t just roll over and “let it go”. This woman probably walks all over people all day long and everyone rolls over for her, afraid to confront her. That’s why she does it. She’s a bitch.
Don’t approach her – she’d probably start screaming thinking you were going to assualt her. And don’t start yelling – it only makes you look like an asshole. Just smile from the next pump over and casually flip her the bird. She will look away, but when she looks back again smile and flip the bird again. The important thing is that she’ll know that she didn’t “get away” with and she might hesitate to do it again the next time. Maybe.
This is quite possibly the stupidest idea I’ve heard on this site - ever.
OK, my buddy has the solution. He claims to have done this before, but I am taking that with a grain of salt. If she leaves the keys in the ignition, simply walk up, open the door, look the doors, then shut the door. Bonus points if she left the car running.
