Mark Connolly Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I do this all the time, but I've never seen any of the people patiently waiting look even the slightest bit surprised at my chicanery and inside knowledge of how petrol pumps work. Why is this? Maybe they just can't be arsed stretching it. Or maybe they think it's bad luck. Or maybe they just think I have magic powers to stretch the pipe. I'm happy to admit I will sit and wait. Mainly because I have a fear I will make an a*se of stretching the pipe and damage it/the car/me or spray petrol all over the place. I have no problem with people skipping if they are happy to stretch it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with people skipping if they are happy to stretch it though. Heh, the only time I've ever made an arse of putting petrol in was when I didn't even do it on the opposite side. I was dripping with petrol. Went home stinking. Stuck everything I was wearing in the washing machine along with other clothes. So my entire wash stank of petrol. The house stank of petrol. Had a shower. Still smelled of petrol. Even the fecking shower stank of petrol. Moral of this story. Petrol smells. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see the worry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Agree about petrol pump idiots. I hardly ever see people doing this, they would rather wait an extra five mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I don't understand why people get so angry about it. Because they are blocking others when there is no reason to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Because they are blocking others when there is no reason to. Erm, you mean the ones who've been posting in this thread? The ones that said they drive around said cars and don't understand why other people don't? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 My gripe is after paying for fuel etc. Please feel free to leave pump. Asap. Do not apply lipstick. Do not muck about with wallet and cards. Do not start a three course meal. Please leave the area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too busy looking at birds arses tbh. :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pumped fuel (that sounds wrong) thousnads of times without incident. Actually, and this is possibly the most petty thing I've ever got annoyed about... news reports that talk about price rises "at the pump". "At the pump" - all innuendo aside, raises my heckles as much as "my bad". No idea why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 So if they need 'etc' they shouldn't buy it whilst in the garage? They should move the car to block off the car wash or air like any normal person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Phoenix Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 What if they're driving a van? Hopefully you'll be tied up and gagged in the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 What if they're driving a van? Then that's an entirely different scenario. If you read what you actually replied to, then you'd realise he said car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
