Refers to the age-old "cranky conundrum" issue about when children want to go to bed as opposed to when adults wish to do so. Many youngsters detest bedtime and want to delay it as long as possible, whereas grownups often can't wait to "hit da hay", and are also always looking to "catch a few extra winks" whenever possible.
Da whole bedtime-vs.-age debacle equally applies to getting up in the morning, as well --- many kids are totally "rarin' to go" at da crack of dawn, whereas their exhausted parents would happily "sleep till noon" if they had da choice.

(1) If you have just your car, pull forward to da last unoccupied pump (even if you have to slither around others) so dat those behind you can reach da pumps more easily.
(2) If you have a long trailer, use da first pump in line to leave da others clear, unless this would block access to da station. If so, park over in da side-lot and use gas-cans to fill up.
(3) If you need to also shop in da station's store, get da gas **first** and then move your 0%!$@# vehicle outta da pump-island so dat others can fill up in da meantime… don't just leave your rig parked in da island while you leisurely diddle around in da candy-bars aisle!
(4) If you'll need extra time at da pump (like if you hafta tediously "coax in" da last few gallons, or you have gas-cans to also fill) either wait till a "slower" time of day, or else park off to da side and use your gas-cans to finish up.
(5) If you have a check to cash, bagged/rolled coins to spend/exchange, or other "lengthier" business, wait till da other customers are done. Also, walk around da store to ensure you have all your needed items, so dat you don't hafta dash back to da far-corner cooler to grab a second gallon of milk (and thus oblige everyone else behind you to grumblingly wait) and then run all da way back to da counter again! And have your payment-method (cash, debit/Food-Stamps cards, check, etc.) all ready once ya get to da counter, rather than having to frantically fumble for it.

But if you decide to leave all that stuff behind at home and set out on your trip in just your ordinary street-clothes, there'll be a bleepin' MONSOON or HURRICANE!
The morning started out kinda overcast and nippy, so I brought an umbrella, thick hoodie-jacket, and gloves with me when I set out to run some errands around town. Well, naturally, once I got a fair distance from home and thus I didn't wanna traipse all the way back to put everything away again, the sun came out and the day got really warm, and so I was just feverishly lugging all that extra stuff around with me for nothing... classic case of "Murphy's Law of Foul-Weather Gear", I guess.

Due to the high-speed travel of a majority of the German Audubon's airborne commuters, one should always keep a sharp eye out for any and all road-signs along the way, to avoid unwanted collisions with hurtling masses of feathers and hard muscle. For example, if you see a sign that warns, "Beware of low-flying waterfowl", you should immediately **duck**... okay, okay --- it's a terrible pun, but you know you love it. :P
