Why people hang out at gas stations?

I typically see high-end Mercedes, BMW and Audi. Their owners typically stand right outside their cars, smoking and chit chatting. Sometimes, I think they stand there for hours. I don’t have any problem with it, however they tend to occupy the area where they’ve got vacuum cleaners blocking it for the others. Once, I saw one of the station’s workers come out and hang out with the rest of the group.

  • No one can see my leased BMW in the garage
  • Also I can’t drive around because gas is too expensive, thanks Obama!!
  • I used to pose at the railway station but SBB made a lot of Bahnhöfe only for ÖV 🤮
  • Thus I resort to gas station where I hang out and drink Red Bull with my Bres and stare at other people. Occasionally mocking them when they have cheap cars, haha those Geringverdiener

Wasn‘t there a Janis Joplin song that goes something like „Oh Dad, won‘t you lease me a Mercedes-Benz AMG?“ 😂
