Abso Ridic Pt. 3: “At the Car Wash?”
Chello folks, Musin here. Just poking around the good ole’ AbsoHilare and — what? Me? Oh yes, I’ve been fine, no complaints here. Hmph, anyways, I just wanted to say that I went to the — huh? hm? I should cut to the hilarity and do away with the mildly entertaining tangent? Uhm…sure I guess I could do that…so much for building a relationship with the readers; greedy.
Yeesh that was random, nothing too crazy though…right? I mean, you never know what to expect at AH. On any given day you could find a post about anything from babies that need to be pushed (in cradle and all) to AA meetings, to an encounter with NYC’s finest–the homeless. So I figured a little Musin talking to himself wouldn’t be too far out, right (just go along with this one, come on) ? Good, glad we’re on the same page. What? Cut this tangent too? Alright alright i’m done…for now.
So the summer is finally here! It was a splendid day out so I washed the car and then moseyed on down to my nearby petroleum distributor with only the intentions to utter”Fill ‘er up” to the underpaid Indian at the pump. This gas station is ALWAYS busy so I had to wait in line at the pump. Initially I was pissed the eff off because it was hot as hades, but when I stumbled on this gem I immediately turned on my AC (with gas tank on Empty) and started cracking up!
I spot (at pump 7) this short Asian dude almost boastfully stepping out of his champagne 1999 Toyota Sienna. Sounds good already right? Well it was. So this man steps out, walks directly passed his gas tank and straight to the bucket with the windshield wiper sponge. So I’m thinking, “Oh, this man is going to clean his windshield…smart idea.”
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! I was two fill ups behind this man’s turn at the pump. He spent at least 12 minutes washing his minivan–WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SPONGE!! I could NOT believe it! I didn’t even care, I was looking directly at him and laughing my ass off! Who wouldn’t ?
Imagine a man at a gas station…walking directly by his gas tank every time (at a GAS STATION) only to re-lather his windshield wiper sponge in efforts of washing his MINIVAN! He washed the ENTIRE VEHICLE with a windshield wiper sponge. This is/was too wild to me. I can’t go any further. Thanks for reading and please do enjoy life.

Was this wrong? He probably looked at gas prices and said eff it, I WILL get my money’s worth.

Who am I kidding? That was ridic. Is this tagged under ridic? (*scrolls up)
Ok it is. Yeah, this was ridic. Carry on.

LOL.
Not a bad guess as to his thought process at ALL! It actually makes complete sense.
Usually he could fill up his minivan (idk why the name of this vehicle always makes me chuckle but it does) and then get it washed, but now, that amount of money can barely fill the tank. Bang for his buck I guess, I may even wash my car with the windshield wiper sponge. Buy that lie, ten bucks, no C.O.D.
I just wish someone else was there to see this madness. It was absolutely ridiculous. Did you get that from the title at all? I did, maybe, perhaps…mayhaps.
Next!

A few questions…how dirty was the van? Was it dirty enough to warrant stepping outside into the fifth dimension of hell to scrape off a little bird poo or was it only dirty because he was trying to hide the evidence of a crime?
Personally, I would have loved to see this one Musin…I’m certain this weirdo could have used a double dose of finger pointin and lifin at himself.
Carry on.
I think you should start carrying notices and giving people warning that the things they do may or may not be used against them at absohilare.

M. Randy LIVES!
Sir, the van looked closer to brown when the man stepped outta the car. After a few swipes of what I like to call the, “Minivan Swiffer” (yes, Siffer, the man basically Swiffered his car) it was then i saw the true champagne color shine from the minivan.
But how ridiculous is that? As in, you are at a PACKED gas station on a HOT summer day and not only do you not purchase any petrol, you proceed to Swiffer your minivan? The people waiting for that pump had to be pissed, had to! He took at least 2 dozen trips to the bucket while I was there, none to the gas tank. When i left, he was STILL there.
Plenty of lifin went down, I couldn’t keep this one hushy at ALL. I will get those cards right after I make some AH business cards…
Anywho, I’m off to the gas station. If I see that man again I will fight him. Good day.

This is still ridic. That is all.

I did go to the gas station, though I didn’t get a chance to fight the Minivan Washer, I did almost fight the owner. 4.30 per gallon! PMO! I wanted to fight the man responsible for this but then I realized the owner was not to blame, he’s only a customer (said like Biggie…:x)
If gas doesn’t get cheaper I will buy a diesel operated motor vehicle and re-use cooking oil from local restaurants. (It works, Believe me?)
