Allright my wife just saw the show. It about unsuspecting people being subjected to antagonistic behavior till they blow. If you take it for so long you win.

The episode in question: The gas attendant comes to you after filling your car, a gas car, and says "Ok..$10 of diesel your good to go" , well everyone is flipping out and losing, a guy in a silver mini wins a $100. Was it anyone here?

Wife was trying to see if it was a MCS works or Shark fin etc but couldn't see, (God I love her).

I would have lost my mind, stroked out I think or maybe just sat there and cried till they towed it to Mini to get drained.

it would be an insanely small world if the person was on this board!

but if that happened to me, i would have been like WTF!

who knows what kind of really hurtful things i would have said to the guy...

could you see any wheels or anything? stripes? i did not see the episode. i should have tivo'd it!

 

I watch the gas jockey,to make sure they are putting the right gas in

 

As has been pointed out by some of the more obsessive members here on NAM, this is why you never let another human being touch any part of your MINI...particularly the numbskulls that work at filling stations.

But actually, even I will always take a glance backwards at the attendent just to make sure that he's actually pumping the Premium that I asked for. Oh, and to remind him that the friggin' gas cap doesn't actually twist off.

So, it sounds to me like the dude in this MTV show simply got what he deserved.

BTW, what an asinine concept for a TV show (if that's what you can call the programming on MTV). Picking on type A personalities until they blow? Hummmmm.....
