Earlier this week, a video surfaced out of Florida that showed a Chevrolet Silverado driver attempting to run down a gas station attendant with his pickup truck. The Silverado owner in question had allegedly become frustrated after he attempted to use the gas pump and realized it wasn’t working properly. After confirming the pump indeed worked as intended, the person became even more irate when they realized they had forgotten to tell the attendant that they needed diesel instead of petrol.
These events culminated with them flying into a fit of rage, attempting to ram the employee with their truck ultimately being arrested for assault. It seems the Florida man arrested for that crime wasn’t the only person to fly off the handle at the gas pump this week, though.
Police in Brandon, Manitoba are currently on the lookout for a man who damaged a gas pump after becoming frustrated while refueling his Chevrolet Impala. A surveillance video sent out via the Brandon Police Twitter account shows the man repeatedly punching and slapping the bottom of the pump with his hand. He then removes the pump handle from his car and begins smashing it against the front of the pump itself. The video ends as the culprit appears to yell in the direction of the car – presumably at an attendant or fellow patron who was inquiring as to why he was taking his anger out on a gas pump, of all things.
Well, this guy looks like a real gas …. If you happen to know this hoser, feel free to pump some premium information our way. We’d love to throw him in the tank!! pic.twitter.com/TrrRMFj2i5

If you happen to recognize the extremely angry Chevrolet Impala owner seen in Brandon Police’s video, be sure to reach out to them. If not, then just sit back and enjoy the clip of a grown man absolutely losing it on an inanimate object.

Uhh this guy is on drugs.
Florida. Makes sense.
Petrol? Are we in the UK?!
Jay, read the article again. One example they gave was from Florida. This was in Canada. And people here do call it petrol sometimes. I know I call it that a lot.
I’ve lived in Canada for 80 years and never heard it called petrol.
Way to go Phil: you have the experience to say so @ that age! Also the Gov. can side w/you!
Trade him the Impala for a padded cell and a daily dose of Lexapro. Geesh…
This guy is not on drugs. He is not crazy. He is just trying to stop the alien invasion. As you have seen many Americans are trying to stop this invasion. Now the aliens are trying to get a foothold in Canada.

Its a COOKBOOK!
Just a Normal Saturday night in Brandon Manitoba ,filling up at $1.30 per liter gas last winter ,you Americans would be p—sed too, after a few brews going home or maybe the Cop shop ,eh?
That’s a lot Gary, how much is the fuel tax?
Wayne ,it Depends on the province they are big time Depending on remoteness , plus GST ,and tax on tax,,plus federal green environmental tax and the maintenance of roads taxes and small profit while you pay appr. $2.50 Per US gallon ,not quite as bad as petrol in Britain but enough to set off crazies !
Gary. Current gasoline prices in the US depending on the state, I travel in Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri. are in the range of $.33-$.37 per liter. Politicians in the US can commit bribery extortion rape, and still get reelected. However if they vote to raise a tax on fuel, their career is over.
That’s why Americans drive bigger vehicles that gobble gas more so than an other countries. Especiallly your Pickup trucks that are prevalent here to ,but mostly In Canadian rural areas but more for work related purposes .Here we generally have majority parliamentary government with unfortunately no recall provisions ,so once voted into power for 4 Years they do whatever fits their agenda or is to their benefit whether you like it or not It was like the GST or HST brought in and sold to the electorate as a 15% consumption tax now lowered to 13% and to help eventually lower income and the manufacturing tax built into all prices tax .Today we have both because we are more docile to our political power!
Capture him and puncture his @$$ with the nozzle.

Never heard of Petro Canada?, I’m sure it’s everywhere
Yes that is the name of one of our gas station chains here… Named after our prime ministers father, who was prime minister back in the day…And the acronym for it is…..Pierre…Elliot…Trudeau….Ripped….Off….CANADA.
In 2019: Fuel or petrol in Ada County Idaho was about $4/gallon! Now since Covid-19 is in affect; Walmart Fuel price is Lower than Costco Fuel! Walmart Fuel in Meridian, Idaho is about $2.30/Gal & Nearly All items From watch battery’s to real estate has a tax of $0.06 on the dollar in 2020! [if i’m not mistaken]
Why was he so mad at the gas pump?
I just hope he didn’t go home & kick the cat,dog or wife.
This guy should trade the Impala for a Tesla. Looks like he has a problem with gas prices. Impalas do not have good MPG. However there are no gas cars that get 50 MPG especially the size of an Impala. Prius gets around 50 MPG but is compact vehicle to me the Volt is better as long you keep plugging in while parked. The Tesla is best to get away from gas and Superchargers are the best chargers. Tesla also provides a level 2 charger for home you have to provide 220 volt outlet which is way better than other auto makers. If this guy had a Tesla he would be buying a coffee or soda.
Look!! It’s the 2 year old down the street that never gets spanked, or disciplined.. I mean really, come on.. what grown adult behaves that way? It’s the ones that never got a belt across the ass.. the ones that got awards for losing! 2nd place is 1st place LOSER.. cuz freedom is so worth breaking a gas pump that only does what’s it’s programed to do.. what a little child.. and just think, one day people that never got disciplined as a child and got awarded for losing are going to be running this country.. and when that happens, this scene here will be all too common.. grow up, be a man and deal with it.. acting like a child never solves anything.. I guess unless your the parents that never discipline your kids.. if you are, YOU and YOU alone are responsible for these “adults” acting like that..
I wonder if he ever figured out his gas filler port was on the passenger side of the vehicle, as are other GM full size sedans…
Wow, somebody can certainly use a couple anger management courses!
Temper temper!
