Yep, when a crowd of bikes (is that what a mutliple of bikes is called??

) arrives at one small place a sheila working on the fore-court gives you a bit of paper with how many litres you put in your bike after you've filled up..

You take that in to the office to pay for it while the others in the group fill-up at the same pump.

....what about the supermarket type of service station that has 15/18 pumps and two people manning the counter...two people want coffee and food and ten others are lined up with twenty dollars notes or cards in their hands waiting in a fucking que to pay for gas that they poured five to eight minutes before...not a problem if there is a nice arse or cleavage ahead of you, but a pain when you are going to be five to eight minutes late..

Only they get back out of the car and walk all the way to the gas-station door to throw out a couple of chocolate bar wrappers they picked up from the floor of their car - then they walk back to the car, look at their windscreen, give it a rub with their finger then walk to the servo entrance, grab the bucket and scrubber and give the screen a real seeing-to.

Then they walk back to where they got the bucket, replace it, return to their car, jump in (aha I thinks, they're going to move now

) turn on the wipers and smear everything.

So they jump back out, grab a handlful of paper towels and scrub shit out of the screen - THEN they jump in and drive off - AFTER (a) adjusting hat, (b) finding and adjusting sunnies, (c) getting seat-belt sorted, (d) reaching across to get something out of the glove-box, (e) undoing seatbelt because they can't quite reach said glove-box...aaarrrgh!!!

Thats usually when you guys are called if that was me.

Ha, fuck yeah was funny as hell... They revisited the place about a year later to make up for bad publicity but took more piss out of the town IIRC

Dirty old, gay old Gore

I park in front of the pumps even when I'm not buying fuel.

If so, it wont make much difference if they pull out so you can pull in - because the pump still wont work. You'll just spend more time looking at the pump.

As Kittie says, generally the pumps lock after 2 fills and start beeping their head off in the building, to warn the attendants. I made that mistake in Oamaru, filling bike and then spare tank (wanted 2 separate fills) then moved the bike off the pump. Guy came along and couldn't fill because the pump was locked.

That doesn't sound right to me.

your reality is not the the reality for other people or places....Ie i ussually fill up at the local station with a car that 900k to the tank and a bike that will ussually do the trip required on one tank(over 500k) I rarely fill anywhere else.They always relaese the pump for me,and i will move the car or bike to make room for the next person if the place is busy....however if it full of pricks(and i am sure you have your own PDS(prick detection system)) i wll carry on home or go to the next most convenient station.

If you travel the country enough you soon get used to the supermarket fuel islands such as Pak N Save and New World. Rock up, swipe the card and gas it up. No wucking furries... If I go for a ride, I wanna ride, not dillydally around with coffee and dodging tintops at servos... Oh yeah, 300 clicks minimum to a tank helps.

I drive fuel tankers for a living so I get to observe the forecourt comedy on a regular basis. The tassle brigade that only rides on fine weekends could have their own funniest forecourt video show. The funniest weekends are those when some shiny tractor is leaning over on the footboards with some yuppy frantically trying to stop it from going over all the way...

Me too, I don't understand why every gas station doesn't have a system like the supermarkets where ya swipe ya card and the value of petrol gets added. No attendants needed

Saves waiting for some idiot in front to pay for their gas or for the stressed out attendent to realise that you are waaaaiting and to release the pump. Recon that if spikes came up 5 minutes after filling in unless ya move ya car that would get rid of the wankers that are sitting having a pie and coffee

Swipe the fuckin' card?

What kind of yuppie are you??

Cash is the way I operate - or 'book it up' if I'm in my home-town.

**rossirep** · 15th May 2012, 14:36

the ones that piss me off the most are the stupid pump jockeys who watch me fill up my bike and then watch me walk inside with my cash or eftpos card in my hand and when i get to the counter they "ask" me to take my helmet off before they will serve me..!!!!

are you for real you stupid fucks..? have you ever been robbed by someone lining up to pay for gas with money in their hands.? i like telling them, "if i was going to rob ya id have a gun in my hand not a eftpos card"
