Laugh at gas station

[Thani-B]

Ok, went and filled up at a Mobil in Pukekohe on friday, and when I went in to pay, the girl behind the counter asked me "Do you want a car wash with that?" lol.

Does this happen often? Any other riders experienced this?
Should I have asked if I have to stay on the bike, or if I just park it up and walk out?

And has anyone actually done this? And if so, what was the outcome?
Wet, obviously, waterproofs hold up?

Now being serious, she was just being blonde, or just didnt register that I was on a bike and wearing bike gear, and so wouldnt want one.

Still found it quite funny anyway, and thought I would share it.

Mobil are running a promo at the moment, that they have to ask you if you want a carwash when you fill up. If they don't, you can request a free one. You were probably her 100th customer that day, and it just came out automatically!

Haha!! They should just stick to being like Shell and ask if you want the special - 2 chocolate bars for $10

That'll teach you to take your helmet off at gas stations

[h_tron]

yeah mobil are running that promo, what would you have done with the free carwash if she didnt ask

[merv]

I'm sure someone could have used the carwash voucher for you if you don't have a car. About 15 to 20 years ago it was the norm for Mobil to be giving free carwashes every time you bought more than $20 of petrol - used to be great value I thought. Never many freebies these days. Around here Shell for one are ripping out their carwashes.

Imagine the look on her face if you'd said yes....... that would've been priceless LOL

makes me laugh when i fill up in the morning full bike gear, balaclava flip face helmet. and without fail "Would you like a coffee to go?" where am i going to put the sodding thing!

didnt one of the guys on the tamaki brothers ride a few years ago hit the car wash after following a cattle truck? vaguely remember something on the telly... from their tv series maybe? this is going to at least 2003, so memory is more than a bit sketchy.

A few weeks ago, I called into my local Shell station....the only one on the forecourt and she asks "what pump"??..........I reply "I'm only here for the specials"

I'm sure someone could have used the carwash voucher for you if you don't have a car.

Maybe I should go back again, see if the person asks, and then ask for my free one if they dont lol. My car could use a wash.

Number 8 wire around the triple clamps and some lateral perpendicular anchor.

I had this on my bandit, bored on my lunchbreak one day. Worked like a fucking charm, especially with a straw.
Went over a big bump one day, can stayed in the holster *had a single length 'hooked' into the lip of the can*, but the liquid did not succumb to such ingenuity. Sticky, all the fricken way home.

yea happens to me all the time at that gas station even when my car has just had a full detail,

i got told to hop off my bike when re-fueling at that pack n save by both the attendants, "its illegal" to sit on an refuel ??

[SARGE]

i get that all the time in the work truck..


"sure Sweetheart.. but you may have to repair the damn thing once i shove the truck in..."

[Nagash]

Experianced that a few times now.. I've only had one chick who had the balls to say

'I know this is going to sound really stupid, but I have to ask, do you want a car wash?'

I think it's hilarious.
