wanting WOMEN TO S-T-R-E-T-C-H the petrol pump OVER THE CAT

[TheStallionOfSensibleness]

for gods sake. stop hovering by a LONG q by the pumps with the nozles on teh right. they are LONG oyu nobos

we once pulled up at the petrol station to realise the cat was in the car with us

that got us some looks

id forgotten about that

When I had a car it was a bit of a gamble whether or not the hose would reach if I did from the wrong side (nice big estate with a stupidly placed fuel cap) but I'd still make an attempt if the queue for the others were ridiculously long, or even loop around and face the other way (so it was miraculously on the right side ) Logic and lateral thinking :P

It is embarrassing though when the hose doesn't quite reach...

at typo.

I am one of these annoying 'nobos' , but I do this because I have never yet found a fuel station where the hose stretches far enough (cat or no cat). But then I have a people carrier (this probably earns me more 'nobo' points I am guessing).

Since we're on the subject of patronising comments about driving from men, I once had a man compliment me on my reversing saying it was the best reversing he'd ever seen 'from a woman'. It always makes me feel like saying "who the hell do you men think you are thinking you can judge women on their driving when we have way less accidents than you? We are better drivers because we drive with our brains rather than our penises. Driving is not a competition."

Sorry some of them are not as big as MEN seem to think they are

I've trained the cat to fill up the car. Might as well make herself useful while she's there.

She can't stretch the pump over the car unfortunately. I think it's the lack of opposable thumbs.

Actually the OP has a point.

I'm female - and I don't have a lot of patience for females drivers who dilly dally, and lets face it some do.

Every driver should be able to pull their sleeves up and PULL that nozzle across the car if needs be - I've no problem with that.

Yep that's sexist. I rarely see anyone do it. I stretch myself

But it us a good idea! Come on folks let's do it!

Molly have you seen the cravendale advert about cats with opposable thumbs. It's only a matter of time I tell you...

"Sorry some of them are not as big as MEN seem to think they are"

liek that lovely Kia advert with a cat in, how about an advert FOR fuel where cats run a whole petrol station?

beertricks we had to take him home. He has also stowed away with my mum and went half way to Hereford once with H

Empusa - is right, not ALL these hoses are long enough.

this thread combines so many things i hold dear

Ime the pump doesn't stretch. But I drive a huge big van with the filler cap at the front.

Park further forwards and pull it round behind.

Never had a problem in my Sharan so you can't blame it on people carriers being too big!

snarl at 'good girl' basingstoke hope that wasn't round here.... I do much of my work in Basingstoke, the petrol's cheap too, so i'd be livid if I got that kind of comment.

Mind you I was complimented on my parking the other day, but it was the guy's WIFE that said I'd impressed her H. I have a landrover, it was a tight space, but you know how when it all just goes right... that was then!

Not just women - men as well.

It's all about positioning.

yes you drive so your BUTT is by the hose

Nope, still won't reach even when I pull further forward and try and take it from behind. I've tried.
