My position is fine but my filler cap is at the front. Maybe I ought to reverse in and then my cap would be the correct size and I could impress all the nobos with my reversing skills in a big fuck off van.

TheStallionOfSensibleness · 19/06/2011 11:08

once you have got your position right, the filling is a doddle.

And does it matter if it takes a minute longer to queue, enjoy it. Everyone is always in such a rush.

I tell you what really annoys me. If I'm waiting and the back pump is free so I use that, can't move to the front one as there's someone there. Then the front person drives off and I'm filling but some big nobbo manages to jam his xr2 through the gap and goes in front cos he can't be arsed to wait for me. But then I have to bloody wait for him. Last twat that did that I couldn't get past but did manage to wedge my van against his front bumper in a valiant attempt so he had to reverse back. He was asking me why I couldn't just have waited.......yeah right back at you tosser.

mine lurks around and if we drive past him, whistle, he hops OUT of the bushes, hops straight into the car and rides home
it FREAKS out pedestrians

pmsl at the stowaway cat -is this the very same cat that used to visit the school by any chance?

No danger of not knowing our cat is in the car -she yowls like a thing possessed when in the car. The record was 1.5hrs when we moved house

TheStallionOfSensibleness · 19/06/2011 11:19

CroissantNeuf · 19/06/2011 11:20

ggirl -I always try and engineer it so DP has to do it but thats because I hate the smell of petrol/diesel and I'm lazy

I do it if I have to though (and I will stretch over or around the car if needed)

TheStallionOfSensibleness · 19/06/2011 11:21
