Why is it, every time I fuel up...

[Eyegasm]

HAHAHAHAAAA... This reminds me of when a geezer started beeping his horn at me cos I was taking my time.

I got of the bike and danced to his horn

Should have seen the look on his face

You bike guys wanna move ya arse, ya fuck around like old women when filling ya bikes.
How long does it take to put $8.93 of fuel in ya tank?

Depends on how long the waiting line of cars is. Its not how long ity takes to put the gas in....its the putting on of gloves (oops I dropped one) ....looking for the key (bugger zipped my jacket up) ...removing gloves because forgot to do helmet up first.....now wheres my sunglasses.....

[Smifffy]

All this talk of angling one's nozzle in and having to reach around had me thinking I had strayed into the "IYKWIM" thread....

As for dancing to some guy's horn, just don't go there...

[Staticam]

Either side when its the Honda, Its my vehicle and I choose which side to fuel from.

For a laugh I sometimes park in the the middle and fill the Jag up from both sides. Except it ain't funny when i have to pay

You're not filling up on the only pump in the place with Diesel are you ?.... dead annoying if there is only one and some-one is getting petrol from it when there are free petrol only pumps available....

Ya my pet hate too

[BoristheBiter]

Yip we get them in every day, some even so far out from the pumps no one else can park in double lanes

That does my head in too. i just park really close so they can't get in their door.

See this (waiting for the pump on the right side of my car) doesn't bother me. Like Maha said, it's their choice.

Consider this, would you let a forecourt attendant (as rare as they are) fill up your $300,000 Ferrari by draping the hose over your car to the other side? Some of them think and hold the hose off your car but most have no idea what damage it can actually do. Hence why I always fill my own car. But if you don't care about your car, you won't give a shit about the hose and where it sits. Others, well if they wait, up to them. Not all of them are morons for waiting.

What pisses me off is when a car stops at a stupid place at the pump blocking both pumps. Even before they turn the engine off you're right up their date so the hose reaches to your car. They look at you like you're dirt and gonna ram them but still don't move 2 feet forward so everyone wins.

Lack of respect for others. Before turning car off, can others use pumps after me? Yes? Pump away.

And don't fucken use WINDSCREEN BRUSHES TO WASH YOUR FUCKEN CAR!!! But I digress Carry on.

I get some muppet waiting behind me, even when the pumps on either side of me are free?
Would it be wrong of me to inform the person waiting that the hoses can reach the tank from either side of the car? I was very tempted today but, the only thing that stops me is that I might come off as sounding rude.
Instead, I told the lady at the counter that they should put some signs up.
It gets quite ridiculous when queues start forming up when some of the pumps are free. It does my head in.

Try not to think too hard princess - some people may just want to use that pump in particular.
Your not from a highly efficient part of Europe, are you?

[avgas]

you can drive foward an extra 1 or 2m and then the hose can easily reach around the back

Are you sure your talking about a petrol station?

Depends. There's dancing TO it, dancing AWAY from it. And then there's dancing on...oh, wait, don't go there.

no to the other side of the car if the filling hole is on the oppersite side and you dont want the hose to drape on ur car

haha... if thats what you call thinking too hard, you must get a migraine from this website.
Only a nazi would insist on using that one pump that isnt free.

[EJK]

Let them waste their time. Save your effort/ time.

Everyone's happy.
