The sky was clear and the air had that crisp autumn feel, something you rarely see at 6 AM. As he stepped out, he noticed an old man sitting on the bench, staring intently at the pump. The delivery driver smiled and asked if everything was okay. The old man just nodded, never taking his gaze off the pump. Suddenly, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny remote control, pressing a button. A nearby car started honking frantically. Turned out, it was the old guy’s way of waking up his neighbor who’d parked there overnight. Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver, as they watched the neighbor scurry away, muttering something about ‘senior pranks.’
