Stand-Off!

Yesterday, I witnessed a stand-off at the gas pumps. Here is what went down. At the Kroger on 70, I was getting gas. Ont he other side of me was a truck also getting gas. Well a SUV pulled up to get in line next after the truck, but she pulled in so that she was front bumper to front bumper with the truck. So she expected the truck to finish getting gas and then back out so she could pull forward. I saw this coming and told my wife that I so wanted to tell the guy that he shouldn't back up, but should make her move instead, but I didn't.

So dude finishes pumping his gas and gets in his car. Lady in SUV is waiting for him to back out so she can get her gas. Neither budges. Horns started blowing. It was hard to tell who was laying on the horn (I was driving away as slow as possible to watch this play out) but neither one of them moved an inch. As I drove away to get to church on time, in my rear view mirror, I could see that they were still front bumper to front bumper.

So here is the question... Who should have moved. The truck at the pump or the SUV and why?
