Why would you be owed an explanation?

I have 70 miles until empty but I wasn't trying to buy gas. It hurt me to the core to see these families who are trying to reach their destination but they can't. I have also watched Villagers topping off a half full car just because they are selfish hoarders who apparently fall into the "entitled villagers" category because "they can". I literally asked one at a gas station why they were filling up if they aren't leaving, the response, "because I can".
This disappoints me. Be BETTER than that!
I know that everyone on this board is perfect and not a soul will admit to doing it, but I know who you are. I hope you are happy keeping people from getting to safety.
Some of us fill up and are prepared for anything and some of us are into "Virtue Signaling". To each their own.

vir·tue sig·nal·ing
noun derogatory
the public expression of opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or social conscience or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.
"it's noticeable how often virtue signaling consists of saying you hate things"

I also have 2 tanks of propane -
