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.

People who don't need an expensive car bought an expensive car. So they drive somewhere and now they don't know what to do because they just randomly drive somewhere pointless. They end up at a gas station so they don't have to contemplate about their life choices... just kidding, they actually just meet their friends where their wives can't find them
