It’s just trying to keep a spot for the parade so it can get a good view.

Edited

Thats some inside baseball comment. Well done.

Outstanding 🤣

Correct—it is outstanding in its fuel field.

Drove by there a little while ago. Police tape and a big hole where the pump was.

This puts off Zoolander “the files are in the computer” vibes. Idiots.

Underrated reference that is.

Mf thought the gas was actually stored in the pump

u/Aidosis avatar

Guy probably also thinks pee is stored in the balls.

u/zman0900 avatar

It's not?

u/UsidoreTheLightBlue avatar

Of course it is! They’re just trying to throw you off, the bladder is just a myth.

u/Playful-Landscape-79 avatar

Poop is stored in the balls. Pee is stored in the butt. GET IT RIGHT!!!

Some whackjob went and targeted Speedways up and around UA and Dublin, and hit the Meijer gas station on Sawmill.

Surprised this isn't on the news considering he ran into someone's house.

What do you mean targeted? As in they were all torn up?

Yup. Was screaming nonsense about high gas prices and then he started ramming pumps with his truck.

Drives truck big enough to run over multiple gas pumps and whines that gas is expensive. That's some big smarts up in that noggin.

Don’t have to buy gas if you’re in jail. This is 4D chess.

He thinks gas is high? Wait til he sees what a lawyer will cost.

What did he think would happen? The single Columbus gas station would say "you know what, you're right. We'll lower the gas prices."??? 💀

Crazy people, though I could understand it if he was complaining about the obnoxious Speedway pumps with the audio ads. I actually like speedway but I’ve been going to the new Meijer gas station to avoid those pumps

HI, I'M MARIA MENOUNOUS

Same here. Though the weird bearded guy who runs it overnight gives me the creeps.

This should be on local news. Where is the gas station video of them doing this? I haven't seen this kind of excitement in a long time.

I have NFI to be honest.

u/CBusin avatar

So this guy’s rationale was to beat the shit out of a pump while screaming about prices hoping to intimidate the other pumps to lower their prices?

At least that’s how I like to imagine it.

u/sasquatch_melee avatar

Ah yes. Increase gas station expenses by forcing them to buy new pumps. That will surely lower prices!

About 20 years ago, I realized that the Dispatch doesn’t really cover any news that occurs after 5pm Friday before Monday morning.

I grew up with the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press, an was used to newspapers reserving space in their Sunday layout for late-breaking news. So the paper that we bought at 10 am, 100 miles north of Detroit would have a paragraph or two about an apartment fire or shooting that happened after midnight on Saturday.

As far as I can tell, only the sportswriters work between 5:00 pm Friday and the final print run on Saturday night….

Don’t be so quick to judge. Which among you had never drank so much you just woke up in some random persons driveway just like this gas pump. I have

Was there gas left inside of you at least?

u/No-Excitement-9264 avatar

Which time?

Dumbasses probably thought it had gasoline in it.

When gas pulls on your wallet, pull on the gas 💪🏼.

There are less criminal ways to save on gas, but none more hilarious.

Would have loved to see the reaction when they realized the gas isn’t stored inside the pump.

I didn't know one was missing

If you just leave your gas pump out in the yard like that, you're asking for it to be stolen. Is that what you WANT to happen?

I mean... the incredible amount of stupidity to take a pump thinking it will have plenty of gas inside it... and then tossing it in a random neighborhood realizing you were wrong. 😂😂😂

u/tacotime405 avatar

u/vertigo3178 avatar

Fishinger by Reed. It was there early this morning

u/BringAMopAndAPlunger avatar

The house on the left is the one that puts cat eyes in the windows for Halloween, I think. Always get a kick out of that.

More replies

I think it’s somewhere in the Golden Ghetto. Unsure of exact street. Was sent to me by a coworker. It’s at his brothers place.

u/Achoooo_ avatar

It’s fishinger and Reed rd. Very far away from any gas station

Ohh yeah I knew I recognized the house. It’s the one that puts the cat eyes in the windows around Halloween.

It’s far from the Speedway, but GetGo just around the block at 5 corners.

Fishinger and Reed, right at the light, the house with the For Sale sign. It was gone by like noon though.

Fishinger, maybe?

More replies

It’s kinda genius if you think about it. I mean, the convenience of having a gas pump in your very own driveway? /s

Apparently they were jealous of EV drivers in more ways than one.

More replies

This does not make any sense. Unless you can get speedway points for taking one pump around the city lol

It would only be enough points to get a candy bar

That’s awesome

u/losturassonbtc avatar

Thought they try to steal some gas ehh?

Pump and dump schemes are getting wild these days

Looks like they emptied all the gas out of it.

How????

I mean, did this rager throw it in the bed of his truck and then dropped it off on this driveway?

u/tKaz76 avatar

Of o take the pump, I’ll have unlimited gas!!

Wonder if it still has any gas in it

Now I can sleep tonight!!!

Edited

Update: I know the dispatcher who took the call about a red pick up dragging a gas pump in UA. It was around 5a.m. So far he has escaped justice.

Lol wtf
