Today there is a gas shortage in Atlanta due to the broken pipeline in Alabama.

About half the gas stations are out of gas and the governor has declared a state of emergency in case things get out of hand.

The situation isn't really that bad but it has given ordinary people license to act like idiots. Everyone is trying to fill up and lines of cars block intersections and subdivision entrances and no one seems to have the courtesy to leave enough space for a car to get through. People see that a station is out of gas and just stop in the middle of a busy road road to look at their phone or they hang a wild u-turn without looking. These are just examples.

I work from home and can walk to the stores so it isn't a big deal to me but many are freaking out and acting like the apocalypse is imminent.
