filling station madness
beast5680:
have you ever noticed the que for the pumps cos people dont think the hose will stretch round the other side of the car :? get some good looks when you pull up in the disco with the filler round the opposite side and just get out and pull the hose round :lol:
thermidorthelobster:
My pet hate is when you need the LPG pump, and even if the garage is otherwise totally empty you can guarantee somebody's chosen that pump to leisurely fill up with Unleaded or Diesel.
Then they wander in to pay, have a coffee, take a relaxing dump whilst reading the paper, all while I'm sitting there right behind them with my engine running and steam coming out of my ears.
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

My local Tesco station, there are always queues of people waiting to use the pumps on the right hand side of the lane, and nobody at the left hand pumps. So I just pull past the queues and fill up at my leisure, as the pipes on the nozzles are long enough to reach the right hand side of my disco from the left side.
You get used to the stares and silent curses from all the people queing after a while... :P
Frankie-Boy:
If all the pumps on the "right" side are in use, I just pass the queue, spin the Disco round and reverse in, that makes 'em look, the one's that are queuing up just don't have a clue what I'm doing, then they sit there glaring at me whilst I whistle a happy tune.
strapping young lad:
arent the pipes long enough to stretch across these days?
drive mighty close and you should be fine but the disco is different cos the pipe has to go round the back
and they arent the most maneuverable pipes in the world!
