I don't think my cat would be too pleased tbh.

Empusa · 19/06/2011 10:39

Not all of them are. Trust me, I've pulled up to a pump before only to find it doesn't stretch.

zelda1982 · 19/06/2011 10:39

the 1st time i tried to do this, the nozzle didnt reach, then i felt like a "nobo" (whatever that is) so haven't tried it since :o

shakey1500 · 19/06/2011 10:39

I did this the other day and a man looked at.me approvingly and said "good girl". Hmmm.

Panzee · 19/06/2011 10:42

If there is no cat (or car) in front of you, pull forward and the pump only needs to stretch behind, not over. Then it'll reach.

basingstoke I'd have been tempted to shove the petrol pump into one of their orifices

TheStallionOfSensibleness · 19/06/2011 10:43

wince at good girl

i once got a round of applause for parallel parking. it was a splendid examplke of the oeuvre though

Couldn't agree more - when I'm not covering my felines in rubber hose I'm to be found shouting at the people in front of me at the petrol station.

Even worse are the ones who sit and watch me easily managing to reach the hose round my large car and fill up in half the time. But, yes, there are men who are also incapable of this feat.

I do it, but always manage to get the nozzle stuck in the cap and have to get an attendant to help me. Very counter productive as then there is a big queue at the tills.

TheStallionOfSensibleness · 19/06/2011 10:47

LOl you got he nozzle stuck in the cap?

Ummm... I do this. I have to much to do to waste time queueing behind the MEN that are waiting for a pump on the right side. These men usually give me funny looks.

I don't care. I'm out of there before they are.
