Gassing up and paying with helmet on?

[Ixion]

I usually remove mine, force of habit. But the other night, lateish, pouring with rain, someone distracted me as I finished filling and I forgot and trundled in to pay with helmet still on.

Realised just as I was signing the credit card chit. Also realised that water was pouring off my helmet and jacket all over the counter and the boxes of lollies and such on it. And the chit I was signing. Humble apologies for both . Guy didn't care at all. That was a BP BTW.

We have a BP here in Whakatane, yep just one. More recently I have been having issues with paying for my gas. There's this old fella in there thats a stickler for protocal and every time a coconut he insists I take my helmet off to pay for my gas, even when it is cash. I've had a gutsful of him.


How about you take your fucking helmet off....and stop being one of lifes fuckwits huh??? I mean its not a big deal....and you my friend are not that important that it should matter....get over it!

[dipshit]

if they were the only petrol station left on earth with gas left....i'd buy an electric bike.

:violin:

Like cowpoos says... who gives a fuck what you do.

Do you think the earth would stop revolving if tomorrow you even sold your bike and walked everywhere from then on..???

No one could give a shit.

Poos and Shit, I care...so there! Its so unfair

... I usually poke my head out of the office when I hear bikes. Some take their helmets off, some don't, some do but I wish they hadn't, some car drivers I wish had full face helmets with black visors.

Hahaha, must be some riders out there who are more handsome with their lids on and visors shut :laugh: But then it's personality that really counts aint it :msn-wink:
Then there's the ones who should keep their helmets on and who rate poorly in the personality stakes.... And some people (like moi) who just don't mind looking like we've been dragged backwards through a gorse bush when we remove our helmets.

And did Neil Armstrong take his helmet off when he landed on the moon,No Sir.And then he took a rock, and left without paying for it!

F**k BP i say. Shop elsewhere, as i do, because of their "policy" and one employees attitude to be a sherrif at just one station here.
If gas theft is a problem then surely the thief would have done a runner after gassing up? Why would a thief enter the station waving a 20 bill around?

Never had a problem with lid on anywhere else.

Anyone got any statistics for the "stations held up by lidded motorcyclists" against "lidded motorcyclists served" ratio?

Case in point ...

The number of times i see hooded youths walking about inside gas stations would surely be more questionable.
