Oh fuck this.

It's been bumper to bumper, total standstill, on Blue Ridge since 3PM. And the traffic is backed up into the Western intersection and up Western, clogging entrance to the interstate, SO ON.

What a fucking mess. Cops aren't directing traffic for shit.

Great. This is undoubtedly going to make my bus late. If this causes me to miss my connector and sit at the damn parking lot they call a transfer station for a half hour, I will become homicidal.

You're going to be super late, they're not even letting the Wolfline bus through, and there's no police down here to let them get through, just up at the intersection (I live in the newish apartments across from the dollar fifty theatre). Every time someone tries to cut into the line of cars there's 100 horns going off.

Fuck you Ford, this is not worth free gas.

The Shell on 54 in Cary was doing this shit this morning. Made me 20 minutes late for work

9/9/2011 5:03:27 PM

dang I was gonna get in line...but not now

9/9/2011 5:04:08 PM

I work basically right beside this place. I had to drive my ass the other way and swing down method just to get onto 440. After you sit in line for 3 hours with your car running let me know if that free gas is really worth it.

9/9/2011 5:33:55 PM

so glad I ride my motorcycle. Good on gas, fast acceleration, and if traffic is at a stand still... I can lane split or hop the curb if needed; instantly making every cager unhappy.

Did that a few times today during heavy stand still traffic, past some bikers. They ended up leaving the lane and followed me. lol

AHA, dang, this sounds hilarious.

I was there this morning to get some gas. I had no idea what was going on til I saw the signs. I got in line (only 15 minute wait) and got my tank filled up for free.

it sounds like a ClassicMixup

9/9/2011 6:09:09 PM

haha some people's time isn't worth shit to them

9/9/2011 6:41:39 PM

there's a sale at penny's!

9/9/2011 6:42:58 PM

If it was 15 minutes I would totally have done it, but the one on Blue Ridge was just insane.

9/9/2011 7:01:12 PM

The afternoon one started and ended early. Cops said something about fights breaking out (they were supposed to send people home who got there before 4:30) I heard it was on 96.1 and random people were out there way earlier. It's lame suckers (<-yo) were in line upwards of an hour after they stopped giving gas away, and shell didn't even bother throwing a sign up. Just let people come in, be disappointed, and drive off. Thanks shell

9/9/2011 8:01:42 PM

^ now why would they throw up a sign? They have a giant row of people who came to get gas....I'm sure many of them still needed gas even if it wasn't free

9/9/2011 8:18:27 PM

I wondered wtf was going on... I was cruising down the left lane wondering why just one lane was blocked.

9/9/2011 8:18:49 PM

I bet it upset a lot of the gas station regulars trying to get their lottery on

9/9/2011 8:38:58 PM

I especially lol @ the people who waited in a long line while idling their engines for a portion of that time and didn't even get any free gas

9/9/2011 8:47:15 PM

that gas station is horrible

9/9/2011 8:59:39 PM

^More like amazing, consistently cheapest gas in the area.
