Pulled in to the Challange petrol station in Lincoln, Canterbury, to fill up, nice day, wife on the back, lunch in the top box...sweet....
Filled the bike and the wife went to pay the man.
A lady pulls up in a 4x4.

There are 4 pumps, me and another car on one side, nothing on the other.
She pulls up right beside me so her gas cap is near touching my bloody handlebars, get's out and asks if I'm gonna move.
I was kinda in shock.

I have a bit of a hair trigger but thought, na,
the wife is here, nice day, be nice....

I ask what's wrong with the other side of the pumps?
She replies, my gas cap is on this side of the car.
I say, doesn't your car turn corners? can't you turn round and use the other side of the pumps?
She say's she'll wait.

Well good fucking on ya lady, my wife can't get between your car and the bike to get on. I'm kinda angry now...
I decide fuck this, I'll pull away from the pump to let the wife get on.

I couldn't believe what happened next. The guy working the station turns
up just as I start the bike and pulls the diesel pump out running it over the front of my bike to fill her 4X4!
It was about then that I kind lost it and gave them both a serve.
Rude arrogant and a damn good reason never to fill up there again.

Good on ya to speak up, Bud.

I have no sympathy for rude people like that either.

I mean, clearly the lady's car has the gas cap on that side and she needs the pump but that rude biker is deliberately making it tough on her. That kind of bikers are giving us the bad name.

pooes what an ignorant 4x4 wielding lady

I saw devil do the best ever swindle on a guy who wouldn't move his cadillac at the pump last year at taupo TD, the camper that devil and jill were driving with all the bikes on-they eased it right up behind the cadillac then devil reached down in the rear area at the back of the cadillack where the big chrome wings protrude -and the cadillac owner dude jumped to the conclusion (all part of devils plan) that the camper had hit the back of his shiny car...he flew into a rage at them both and then bright as a button Devil lifts himself out of the stooping position with his cell phone in his and and goes "oh there it was"... best rouse EVER...

I soooo wished I'd have that on tape mo ho

Took a few km's to clear the head of the crap but did the hilltop to Akaroa round the tops. Not a high speed road but Ya gotta love those corners.
Might have to do that one with the cam on.
Make a good video!

I would have gone ape at them to.

My favourite are the 4x4 ladies who take the opportunity when one side of the pumps is full, to pull up at the first pump and not at the last one so that another two vehicles can als gas up.

Last time it happened I went right around and parked in front of her. I went to the toilet, had a coffee, looked at magazines, considered buying but after a long debate with myself I didn't and finally paid for my gas.

She came storming up to me at the magazine rack and demanded that I get out of her way. There were now three cars behind her waiting so she couldn't back up. I explained nicely (true!) that if she'd pulled forward none of this would have happened and that I would be able to move when I had paid.

Some days it just pays to be alive

Well done for holding ur temper the first time, i dont know if i would have!!!! What a stupid bitch!!!!

I think most 4x4 drivers must have dodgy logic anyway, i mean i know NZ roads can be dodgy, but you dont need a 4x4 to pick the kids up from school

Nicely done by grub (above), bling awarded for that

p.s. a little bitter with 4x4 drivers after one distroyed my bike and almost killed me

Ban them. Seriously.

**AllanB** · 22nd February 2008, 15:35

She was most likely late for a date with her BROTHER - it was at Lincoln after all.........

Mind you Hilliers of Lincoln (over the road) has some nice food.

That's one of my pet hates at the pump as well. I generally try to get out of the way as quickly as possible, even riding clear of the pump before sticking my gloves and helmet on. But if I had a grumpy snot "get outta my way" cager behind me i wouldn't be averse to taking my own sweet time and letting 'em wait. Not afraid to stare 'em down either. Must be from being a grumpy ass take-no-shit high school teacher.
