What configuration are the pumps in? Three rows of four pumps? He prob didn't like that your rig was taking blocking two or three pumps while you meandering around. Not that it excuses his behavior however.
I got screamed at again today......

I would've told both of them to go *f* themselves.

In this heat and humidity lately, I could see that response. Of course he's running a business so at least for neighborhood parking matter might not have been the best response. At the gas station, perhaps.People of today love to revel in their self fabricated indignation. When they have nothing to complain about, they actively go seeking something which does not meet their hypocritical compass, at that particular moment, subject to change without notice, logic, or reason.
I blame feminism and the feminist agenda for this.
Such a shame that males are also influenced to behave in this irrational emotional illogical manner. Good thing feminism has also taught everybody how to justify any of one's own despicable actions while vilifying everything/ everyone else.
And, If all else fails, say 'whatever' in the most insulting tone possible, throw in a few 'OMG's' and eye rolls, and all is well. A pouty foot stamping might be required too.

The crazies are everywhere ... we were having our field logged / cleared for our horses and people would threaten and harass the loggers, like **** it's not your property and most of the people that were getting hostile didn't even live close to us. I guess people have nothing to worry about in their own lives so they have to try to control what other people do.
I really feel bad for retail workers these days, people have no manners and treat them like robots. Back when I worked at a wallyworld TLE I had a lady go off at me for not being able to help her find tire chains, and all she knew was that she had a Mazda (didn't even know the model) and the car wasn't even there so I could go look at tire size/etc. I can't even go to our local McDonalds without having to listen to people cuss out the window person if their order takes longer than 30 seconds.

You should have been better prepared as far as measuring your 2 stroke oil, looking in the trash for a used paper towel, gulping down a Gatorade, going to the bathroom etc etc. It's called courtesy. My 2 cents worth.

At the gas station, perhaps. Fortunately my subdivision, on the whole, is fairly laid back on the "don't park in front of my house" thing. We have concrete curbs that make yard parking pretty much a non-issue(plus the fact that my front yard is pretty much straight downhill about 3 feet past the curb 
) but for the most parts we work with each other. If the neighbors have a house full of guests, no one cares if their cars are parked in front of someone else's house provided that the driveways aren't blocked, and the neighbors extend the same courtesy to us.
The only thing we do is keep an eye out for cars parked in front of houses or in driveways when we know the occupants are out of town, but usually that's a call to the neighbor to double check(in fact our next door neighbors usually let us know when they're out of town if someone is going to be coming by, and we do the same) and it's usually nothing. With that said, though, I appreciate it that we all sort of look out for each other, something that you won't necessarily get everywhere.
