filling station madness

<< < (5/5)

Bush Tucker Man:
My mother-in-law winds me up when the car needs filling (she uses our 'spare')
Despite being a (fairly) intelligent woman & ex-dispensing optician, she invariably has to be accompanied to the forecourt as she, for some reason, cannot figure out that the key needs to be turned in the same direction as the cap unscrews.

Anologies of comparing it to a bottle of Tonic Water (in the way it opens/closes) tend to be forgotten once on the forecourt.

She messes about with it, & either returns or asks a stranger for help.

It's not exactly 'rocket-science' is it??

gtomo2:
easy for me the filler hole on the rangey is big enough to get two nozzels in at the same time it just a shame the tube narrows out at the bottom so cant fill both at ful power :D

These get people through the garages quicker, and save on staff costs, but when they only let me have £60 at a time, how much are they loosing in lost trade?

Lostboy:
Another thing that winds me up stupid - the number of people who only put in £5 at a time. Your just creating a queue. Arrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Just FILL your D*$M car and get on with it.

I think I've had too much caffine this morning  :oops:

It's not just pay-at-the-pump pumps which are starting to be limited now.  The idea is to reduce lost payment through driveaways.
