There's drama going down at the Wawa air pumps (and if you live in New Jersey, it's just another day). This driver shared their story of their run-in with an utterly infuriating woman who felt entitled to skip waiting in line. 

U/turtlesh0es wrote to r/pettyrevenge with an excellent tale from the air pumps at a store nearby. They went to fill up their tires — although the OP had an air compressor, they didn't want to wait for the slow machine, and chose to go to the gas station instead. While at the Wawa, two other drivers pull in beside the OP, leading to the wild story below. 

After you scroll through this dude's perfect revenge, read the commenters who were absolutely loving this story. Next, check out these snobby folks who think the world revolves around them.

    Font - r/pettyrevenge · Posted by u/turtleshoes 2 32 Don't want to wait your turn? Now you wait ten minutes. On mobile, forgive my textwall. This happened to me last night. I got in my car to pick up my girlfriend and my tire pressure light came on. I have a 12v air compressor in my backseat but it's loud and fills sort of slowly, so I opted to drive to the local wawa.

    Font - (For those who don't have Wawa, it's like if 7/11 got sober and went to college.) Wawa's air pumps are free to use which usually means there are at least a few cars lined up, but when I pulled in there was only one other car. Score. I pulled behind the guy filling his tires and an older gentleman in a BMW pulled in behind me. After about 3 minutes a woman in a brand new Lexus pulls up directly next to me and puts her window down. "I only have to fill one tire, do you mind if I go in front

    Font - She muttered something while rolling her window up and I put up mine. About a minute later the guy at the pump was done. He backs up and before I can even put my car in gear Lexus woman pulls her car in front of mine diagonally, blocking me from pulling into the spot, and then pulls straight in after the first guy has moved. She climbs out of her car and gives me the MOST INFURIATING little wave.

    Font - At this point my anger gives way to a ninja-like calm, and I know exactly what must be done. I pull my car forward and stop ~6 inches from her rear bumper. The air pump is in the corner of the lot, so Lexus woman has a curb in front of her, a curb to her right (where the pump is), an open spot to her left, and now my dirty a car right behind her brand new one. She is busy filling her tire and doesn't notice that I've pulled right up to her car. I step out of my car, grab my air compressor

    Font - park in the empty spot to Lexuslady's left. As soon as he pulls in she notices what's happening and starts yelling. I flip on my air compressor and begin filling my tire, her cries drowned out by the sound of 250psi of justice. She comes and stands in front of me, face beet red and little flecks of spittle popping out from between her cigarette teeth as she calls me all sorts of names. I calmly say "Ma'am, I only have one tire to fill.

    Font - You don't mind, do you?". Mr. BMW is absolutely loving this, and as I finish my tire and move to fill his she starts up again. "You motherfers, f ng piece of s etc.". I finish Mr. Sa BMW's tire and he thanks me for my help, climbs in his car and pulls away grinning. I wrap my compressor up nicely, pick a good song, and set my climate control to a balmy 82 degrees, all while Lexus lady is trapped in front of me. I calmly back up, give her a little wave, and drive off into the night.

    Commenters applauded the OP's hilarious writing style as well as his excellent method of petty revenge

    Font - hippo_lives_matter Love it! Except I would have then left my car there and ran into the wawa for a restroom break and a drink.

    Font - FaThLi Normally I would call people out for having their own air compressor in the back as being too perfect a set up. With that said...I have a little air compressor in the backseat of my car right now. Good petty revenge.

    Font - [deleted] She committed the two cardinal sins of city living. First, she cut a line. As I explained to my kids "there is very little that is fair in the world, but a line is fair, and thus we should respect it whenever possible." Second, she deliberately and intentionally assumed that her time was more valuable than yours in doing so. There is no bigger minor sin than wasting someone's time, IMO. Good on you for being the instrument of sweet compressed justice.

    Font - StevenSanders90210. Good job keeping your cool. I would have lost the moral high ground quickly by cursing and screaming.

    Font - AllThree3 There's a 50-50 shot that the Wawa air compressor was broken, so she may have actually deflated her own tire anyway. bonus petty revenge!

    Font - The_Big_Red_Wookie Hi, I'm obviously more important than you so I'm getting in front of you. Me: No, you're not, try it and see how much time that costs you. Because I have all the time in the world to make sure it costs you a lot.
