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.
Doesn't play well with others
Because people do not realise that if they turn their cars around 180 degrees, they can then use the "wrong side" pumps for their cars.
It took me far longer than any reasonable person would have expected to convince my mother that this was possible.

Ignore the people that are waiting. If they choose to queue up to wait for your pump while there are other pumps free, they can bloody well wait til you get your helmet and gloves back on. If they beep or give u rude gestures then yeah, go ahead and say something

Some people dont like a dirty fuel hose drapping over thier car.
If they wish to wait for you, dont feel pressured, its thier choice to do so.
I would rather the right side of the pumps when fueling my Work Van, and the left side when fueling the Holden.
Either side when its the Honda, Its my vehicle and I choose which side to fuel from.

watched some bird try this once, pulled in, got out, oops cap on wrong side, drove around the pumps to the adjacent one, got out, fuck still on wrong side, try again, wtf why does this still not work, leave station without getting gas. Turns out if you drive around something and face the other direction, its still on the same side

Double shot!!
Yup, don't worry, man. Ignore what people do - it doesn't and can't affect you. Surely you have something interesting to occupy your mind rather than worry about what people think.
Even if they want to stand on their horn - let them, and smirk to yourself. It's their heart attack, not yours. If you feel the need, show finger etc as you do.

Are you sure it's every time you go and get fuel?
Like everyone else says, if that's their choice ignore them. Some people even expect you to push your bike out of the way when finished. That's a good one as well (like where, the service station is full).

Why is something as trivial as this bothering you?
I usually approach the pumps when I'm in my car so that the pump is closest to the side where the fill point is. I don't mind waiting.
Is it really that much of an issue for you?
