So... servo pricks, Man some people piss me off at service stations. Ya pull up behind the person filling, servo is packed, they hang up look at ya then wonder off to pay, piss about at the counter deciding on what pack a fags to buy... fuk mutter mutter 'prick'

Why not hop in and drive over to the empty parks by the building, alowing the prick behind ya to fill up? na dont happen.

I move on all the time, especially if its the bike I'm on, costs nothing, is effortless and a general curtacy, and on a glance back, 9 times outa 10 ya get a thankyou, if not then ya a prick.
And like yesterday I rocked on up behind a van that was just sitting there, waited a while muttering what a prick, then noticed the driver was just sitting there, so waltzed on up and 'told' him to move his POS... yeah thats the sorta prick I am

Vote ya ranking as a prick as below

prick... shows no gratatude to some one that moves on for them
right prick... to ignorant to notice others
right royle prick... delibritly leaves vehicle after looking the waiting vehicle in the eyes
good prick... dosnt normally but notices a waiting vehicle and moves
great prick... moves every time

the ones who want petrol, ad pull into an empty forecourt, and decide you know what? there are 8 pumps for 91/95, and one for deisel, so, Im just going to pull up and fill my petrol car up, while simultaneously blocking off the deisel pump.

I get annoyed at people who fuck about like that, but at the same time, it would a)give the attendant a hernia watching everyone fill up, jump in their car ad start moving, from wondering if its another cunt thats gonna run. and b) if they do that, by the time some people fuck about in the shop, there could be 2-3 sales off the same pump, making it difficult to know who actually got how much fuel by the time you get to the counter, and C) some stations have a system that Only allows the next sale to be dispensed AFTER the previous one has been paid for in store.

I had one cock try to move my bike once because he wanted to stand at the pump in the centre of the forecourt because it was raining and standing at the other pumps might mean he gets a bit of spray on him from the rain. There were 4 other pumps available.
That conversation did not end with a please and thank you.

What about the pricks that decide to wash their car including wheels with the windscreen washing brush and bucket while you are waiting to fill. They are the worst servo pricks.:first:

I prefer to just chill and not let the stuff I can't change bother me. Less stressful that way.

and then there's those guys who fill their tank all the way to the top, fucking nerve of some people, its like they think the petrol station is there to buy things from, instead of being a racing pit-stop.

If there's less than 2 empty spots on either left/right sides of the tank I'll move.

Really hits home when people actually say thank you, more so when it's a bit chocka.

Can't afford to have bad karma on the road even if like me, you're not superstitious.

Dangerous you should try living in small country villages....not just purchases from the shop but if it's the local mail center too, cars can tie up a pump for half an hour....And the cockies are so arrogant that if anyone says anything to them about it they threaten the servo owner with removing their account...Poor bloody servo owner can't do a thing.

And yeah, diesel....one pump on a forecourt and it's invariably tied up with someone getting petrol....

You hit a nerve here D.

The people waiting for coffee are a pain in the ass.... they leave their car at the pump while waiting, would be so easy to move it while the coffee gets made.

Haha - the gas station at Mercer? - you have to pay before filling up. So there's only one attendant and a big cue of people wanting to pay. You pay, they clear the pump so you can fill. But the forecourt is full also. I put my fuel can down, cued up, paid, pump is cleared just as someone pulls up to pump and starts pumping. I said to the attendant hey they are taking my spot. He doesn't care, next please. Fucken prick ! Stupid fuck
ing system that was. So many disgruntled customers.

Depends on how pump system is set up . pre-pay, one only stack, 2> 10 stack: depends on the type of customer that uses servo( they dont call them that now> Your Local Community Store)

what about the pricks that leave a 2 metre gap between them the the pump so the cars trying to use the other ones cant get past.

On the busy gas stations the attendants are the worst, would you like our 2 for one chocolate bar. Its getting as bad as MacD's.

As for Z take the Muppet of the forecourt and put them behind the counter so the queue that reaches the door can move a bit quicker.

Pricks on bikes who insist on getting off, taking off their helmets, having a prune and checking that their co-ordinated tassles are all in order. Then after paying take an age to put their helmet back on and getting their leathers all nice and straight. They tend to travel in packs which means they can all compare panniers further holding everbody up.

Generally a weekend issue. Pricks.

I will move the bike or car forward for another bike, vintage or sports (I mean propper english sports car). If you are driving a HSV, SUV, you are wearing your cap backwards or you are on a blue one, fuck off cause I an a Prick.

maybe in Dorkland mate, but down here in the boonie's they dont usually do that.

That would mean they would have to clear what was shown as owing on the pump then, before the person has paid, to let the next person start filling up.

That doesn't sound right to me.

True dat.

But it still burns my arse when I see somebody getting into the car on front that they've just filled up, I start the car planning to move forward into their spot when they drive off.

Only they get back out of the car and walk all the way to the gas-station door to throw out a couple of chocolate bar wrappers they picked up from the floor of their car - then they walk back to the car, look at their windscreen, give it a rub with their finger then walk to the servo entrance, grab the bucket and scrubber and give the screen a real seeing-to.

Then they walk back to where they got the bucket, replace it, return to their car, jump in (aha I thinks, they're going to move now:doh:) turn on the wipers and smear everything.

So they jump back out, grab a handlful of paper towels and scrub shit out of the screen - THEN they jump in and drive off - AFTER (a) adjusting hat, (b) finding and adjusting sunnies, (c) getting seat-belt sorted, (d) reaching across to get something out of the glove-box, (e) undoing seatbelt because they can't quite reach said glove-box...aaarrrgh!!!:mad:

Yep, when a crowd of bikes (is that what a mutliple of bikes is called??:confused:) arrives at one small place a sheila working on the fore-court gives you a bit of paper with how many litres you put in your bike after you've filled up..

You take that in to the office to pay for it while the others in the group fill-up at the same pump.:niceone:

....what about the supermarket type of service station that has 15/18 pumps and two people manning the counter...two people want coffee and food and ten others are lined up with twenty dollars notes or cards in their hands waiting in a fucking que to pay for gas that they poured five to eight minutes before...not a problem if there is a nice arse or cleavage ahead of you, but a pain when you are going to be five to eight minutes late..

13th May 2012, 16:34

I didn't think the pump could be used again till it had been paid for and released?

If so, it wont make much difference if they pull out so you can pull in - because the pump still wont work. You'll just spend more time looking at the pump.

I thought it was 2 fills max? :confused:
As Kittie says, generally the pumps lock after 2 fills and start beeping their head off in the building, to warn the attendants. I made that mistake in Oamaru, filling bike and then spare tank (wanted 2 separate fills) then moved the bike off the pump. Guy came along and couldn't fill because the pump was locked.

your reality is not the the reality for other people or places....Ie i ussually fill up at the local station with a car that 900k to the tank and a bike that will ussually do the trip required on one tank(over 500k) I rarely fill anywhere else.They always relaese the pump for me,and i will move the car or bike to make room for the next person if the place is busy....however if it full of pricks(and i am sure you have your own PDS(prick detection system)) i wll carry on home or go to the next most convenient station.

If you travel the country enough you soon get used to the supermarket fuel islands such as Pak N Save and New World. Rock up, swipe the card and gas it up. No wucking furries... If I go for a ride, I wanna ride, not dillydally around with coffee and dodging tintops at servos... Oh yeah, 300 clicks minimum to a tank helps.

I drive fuel tankers for a living so I get to observe the forecourt comedy on a regular basis. The tassle brigade that only rides on fine weekends could have their own funniest forecourt video show. The funniest weekends are those when some shiny tractor is leaning over on the footboards with some yuppy frantically trying to stop it from going over all the way...

13th May 2012, 19:05

Me too, I don't understand why every gas station doesn't have a system like the supermarkets where ya swipe ya card and the value of petrol gets added. No attendants needed

Saves waiting for some idiot in front to pay for their gas or for the stressed out attendent to realise that you are waaaaiting and to release the pump. Recon that if spikes came up 5 minutes after filling in unless ya move ya car that would get rid of the wankers that are sitting having a pie and coffee

are you for real you stupid fucks..? have you ever been robbed by someone lining up to pay for gas with money in their hands.? i like telling them, "if i was going to rob ya id have a gun in my hand not a eftpos card"
