All Over Smokes

I hope to be getting back in the swing of things as far as posting goes. so here's a funny little story about the great town of Mansfield:

i was on my way back from Columbus sunday night. it was after midnight and i was stopping for gas and Redbull. I stopped and the north most exit for Mansfield and pumped the gas and tried to not take notice of the price. i saw a SUV pull up and three guys and a girl about my age (18, 19, 20 something like that) and they all went inside and i headed in to get some red bull and some chewey Spree. (yum) inside one of the guys was try'n to buy sigarettes. the man working said that some one just came in try'n to buy sigs and didn't have and ID so he wasn't going to sell any for a while. the guy attempting to buy freaked out (i'm guessing he needed a smoke) and there was cussing and screaming like you wouldn't believe. i just wanted to buy some candy. the kid was pretty mad that the guy wouldn't sell him any sigs i guess. so of course the smart thing to do was call him names and insult the man all he could. i think he said something about his mom but i don't have those words in my vocab. i thought about saying things like "you know there's a gas station across the street." or "hey maybe if you yell more he will change his mind and sell to you." but i kept my mouth shut. next thing i know the worker says that he's going to get the kid's plate number so they went out into the parking lot and had a pushing fight. i guess the kid didn't want him to get the number. all this time i'm standing there holding my bag of Spree and can of Redbull thinking "i just want to buy this so i can get home." finally the worker get back inside out of breath and dripping with sweat. and i bought my stuff and took off. i thought it was fun.

i didn't feel like checking this for mistakes so i hope it made sense
