Petrol Station maners

OK a total none diving post, just interested to see who when filling up there motor and has finished moves it forward if there is someone waiting to fill up behind them.

What would be the point of moving forward? They can't use the pump until you've paid for it!

I usually fill up from machines that can take your credit card tho - so I just fill up and drive away..

I *used* to movce forward until i realised the same as Dom.  No-one can actually use it until I've paid.  If I intend to mince about after paying (maybe use the toilet etc???) I do move forwards, but generally, no.

[Crisspy Fiver]

It is possible to use were i fill up.

Im just trying to see if Im the only person in the world who moves forward.

Some years ago a lot of people seemed to but not any more

It drives me mad when I see people sauntering back to the car, climbing in, putting on their sunglasses, turnng to the passenger and chatting while putting on the seat belt, adjusting the mirror, opening a bag of sweets they've just bought, checking testicles,  (only applies to 50%) and then finally moving off.. so because I know it pisses 'me' off I always make sure that I get back to the car asap and move it forward asap to allow the next driver in and 'then' I put on seat belt, make adjustments etc

[Dominic]

Am I the only person who doesn't have an enormous queue of people behind me desperately awaiting my absence when I fill up..? Is there some weird Northern religion that demands cars be fuelled only during rush-hour times or something?

aaaaaaggggghhhhhhhhhh

Im not a northen type, I live in London



Its just as Dave said, people get back in there car and prat about for ages making me wait when they could move forward then do what they have to do.

I think im going to buy a tank so next time I can just drive over them.

!No offence to Northern types intended!

I'm in Sussex. Therefore you're North of me. QED.



Did you know a tank can be taken onto the roads with a standard UK driving license?

[Crisspy Fiver]

Oh well fair play, not dived there yet as the weather was crap but maybe next year.

Yeah seen tanks driving on the way to weymouth near the tank museum cant remember the exact place though.

I thought we was at war or something.

I think there is a yellow one as well that drives round London. I see it on the news as its always breaking down. Must be an american one!

<font color='#810541'>I used to drive forward until one time (somewhere in Oxfordshire) the cashier had to cancel a call to the police when I walked in to pay - they thought I had filled up and driven off.  So now, if you are behind me, you can wait.  

Life's too short to worry about filling your car with petrol a few seconds earlier - relax, sit a spell, listen to the radio or watch the world go by.
