Service station confrontation

[skidMark]

Man, what a wanker, should have told him to go fuck himself. Ive never had that problem myself, I purposefully take my time; start the bike, put my helmet on, then sloooowwwly put on my gloves, then sit on it, do some stretches, look at the silly cagers waiting, then leave.

Its worse when ive got earplugs and one isnt sitting right, oh damn....

i used earplugs for a while but i get on and off the bike so much.....gas stops etc....(this is when on open road around town it was a blimin joke)

i just could never get the blimin things in right somebody taught me how..pull on my ear etc but eventually i just gave up with them.

when i get the vfr sorted i'm gunna need them though the yoshimura is gunna be bloodey loud

Yeah well the thought in my mind was fuck you but I just sorta let him rant I thought it wasnt worth ruining my ride over getting in a fight with a middle age guy that obviously was having a bad day.

Most stations can run several sessions before receiving payment for the first session.

Gets them all flustered and confused though!

Station I use to work at it wouldn't release the pump till it was paid for before next person could use it... but that was a couple of years back

I'm a lot more sober now and upon reflection... I stand by all the comments I made. Whether they were about staff or other customers.
It'd be like someone behind you at a supermarket check-out telling you to go the the express lane because you had 2 or 3 items... Hmmm would it happen? I don't think so.

Hehe one time i had a trolley full of items and i went to stand in the normal queue two sets of people in front of me only had 4 or 5 items and the express lane had 1 person in it, i made mention of this fact to them, both ignored me so i went to the express lane, girl said 12 or less, i said nah those two over there cant count so neither can I....said checkout operator smiled and with barely a nod or a wink the checkout girl that i was in proceeded to send said two couples with 4-5 items to the express checkout, where i was putting through my order, boy did they complain and bitch and moan , I pointed out that i was the one who pointed them earlier to the express checkout which was moving fast but was ignored , didnt here a word from them after that , me and checkout girl had a real blast holding them up with items that wouldnt scan ...

This is the type of attitude that gives motorcyclists a bad name with cagers.

Yes, back in the days of motorcycle gangs, cars were scared of bikers... now they just don't give a shit, and that makes it dangerous for us... fight back I say... FIGHT BACK!!!

If I'm doing more than paying for the gas, and the place is busy, I move the bike. Preferably in the direction of the guy behind the counter so he understands what's going on.

Had a drama with a guy one evening at the air pump at my local station, I'd filled one tyre then had to move the bike a few feet to get the valve on the other wheel to a position where I could access it. This plonker grabs the house and starts to do his car. "You were fucking around." says he.

I turned the air off, he turned it on, etc, etc, until another guy came and I thought he shouldn't be held up as he wasn't a party to the dispute.

The newcomer saw enough to figure out what had happened and an ex-biker himself was sympathetic and we had a brief chat which allowed me to come down off my little angry high (low?).

Maybe I should take up transendental meditation, but then again why should the ignorant arseholes get their way all the time.

I've found (through painful experience) that it pays to do it the other way round........

i made some dopey bimbo of a tart feel like shit today.
had an older gentleman come in with a gas bottle.
the lpg filler is situated between two petrol pumps.
said gentleman parked next to the filler and struggled to get the bottle out of the back [he had a cane]
while i was filling, he told me about his aches and pains.
bottle finished, and he went in to pay while i put the bottle behind his seat.

a car full of tramps had pulled in behind him, and i had to stretch the hose a little bit [nothing major]
the driver said to me "i thought that old man would have moved forward" i shot back "hes got bad legs and cant walk far!" "oh" rude lil bitch. her parking back a bit didnt inconvienience her a drop. i was the one who had to do her petrol.
and said bitch i work with said something similar when a man had an assistance needed sign. she soon shut up when i told her he was in a wheelchair.

i was already having a bad day due to the bitch i work with, and having a snarky customer putting down another customer nearly put me over the edge.

to mr col:
my site manager has given us permission to send customers away. hes done it a few times. biggest was when a coworker died at the same time as last years gang war, and we had people telling us hed been shot by one gang or another.
ive only told one to piss off [politely!], when he came over abusing me about the price of our car lpg. told him to go to xxxxx and not come back. funny thing is... hes been back a few times since. i ignore him now. i thought he was gonna clock me one that day.

[breakaway]

Don't get me wrong, but reading this thread, it seems like some of you go out of your way to be dicks to the cagers.

Breakaway, you've got to understand, a well-balanced biker has a chip on both shoulders.......

[speeding_ant]

Hell yeah, it's a beautiful thing

I meant it was low that he should even say that. I know the RG is shit, that's why I'm getting a new bike. But it still had nothing to do with the event. He was being a prick

Hey, RG's are great bikes.

[SlowHand]

sounds like you were nicer than most of us could manage...

I would have loved to have had a little chat to him... don't know if he would have even looked in my direction tho

Like Gremlin - they don't usually give me a second glance.

Dunno why.

Do you 2 go out together trying to pick up guys at service stations?

I was having a crap day at work once, and this bitch just pushed my buttons, so I told her to get fucked, thought I'd be fired (I hated the job anyway), so told my supervisor that I wanted to quit, she rang the big boss and he told me I'd get a pay raise to stay! Go figure!
