AIBU to think move your fucking vehicle from the fucking petrol pumps you knob ends

[fluffystabby]

AIBU??

If you go to the local petrol station, which also has a spar shop, and you want to also visit the rubbish cheap shop next door (yes, 143 year old granny out for the day with your pal I'm looking at you) or go to the greasy spoon for a fry (yes, workmen with bum cleavage that's you)

move your fucking vehicle from the fucking petrol pumps because no one else can get fucking fuel while you're

a - getting you're weeks groceries in the spar
b - having a natter to your pal
c - stuff your fat face with your fucking fry

D'ya think he might be?

"But these people weren't going into the shop attached to the petrol pumps. "

So point a in your regional post is rather irrelevant isn't it.

original

FFS.

Well Soupy (since ya think yar brave enough to take on a stabby when she's had no sleep ) There are only 3 pumps. Two were out of action because people were in the wrong shops and the one that was left people were getting bags and bags and bags of groceries.

But I may be prepared to concede on point (a) alone you may have a point

Going into the shop next door/getting a fry up isn't on.

Why shouldn't people get whatever groceries they need in the shop?

Because, Ilovesooty, I don't allow them. Not today when I've had no sleep and I want to go to beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

Well, YABU then. I often get groceries and go the the Post Office in my local petrol station. There isn't always room to put the car elsewhere and in any case I don't feel like queuing twice.

Whenever my petrol light is on they are always filling up the petrol station and the whole thing is shut. Every single time.

143 year old granny out for the day with your pal Hahahahaha!!!!

And with decent organisation you don't get down to the red light and leave yourself with no choice of where to fill up! (Not saying I'm always that organised, mind you! )

(Not really, off to bed for a kip and hopefully I'll waken in a better mood)

no Upgrade to keep me warm though

I bet they found that ENORMOUSLY exciting! Were they really disappointed when you tried to pay?

Gosh, calm down Fluffy. I would reserve this level of anger for things that really matter or you'll do yourself a mischief (YANBU though!).

I made a wanker sign at a car that decided to block the only way out of a very busy petrol station, the driver didn't take it in good part and they proceeded to drive at the side of us in an aggressive manner (I just laughed at him which I think annoyed him more) and then he charged in front of us on the road and broke suddenly in front of us.. by which point I was getting rather alarmed.. fortunately they drove away but I got a right telling off from my husband and have since resolved to grow up and be more careful with my use of hand gestures and rude boys in their cars..

so the moral of the rambly story is, internalise your rage.

WOT I didn't NEED anything else, it was just really busy and I was trying to be Uber-considerate. Snuf - ooh yeah, cue lots of tutting and flab wobbling then pouts and glares when they realised I wasn't part of the local criminal fraternity!

YANBU - it's a simple process that even the most lowbrow driver should be able to comprehend.

1. Put in fuel.

1. Pay.

1. Move car and park considerately.

1. Visit scabby shop / greasy spoon / conveniences as necessary.

With idiots like the OP's example I think it is a real shame there is no IQ examination as part of the driving test.

Blimey - just a question no need to use CAPS. The next person in the queue can't actually use the pump unless you've paid. So while you may have had the best of intentions it wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

Oh I did internalise my rage.

Hence coming on here to rant

But I'm still NOT BU, I've decided

Well, maybe just a teensy bit

I feel your pain.

It is so maddening when finally you get within pumping distance and the driver in front replaces the hose, ambles over to the forecourt shop and... GETS A TROLLEY. Aaaarrrgggghhh.

Another time I went flippin' insane was when an old couple BOTH got out to fill up, then BOTH went in to pay, and the returned to the car and sat eating a BAG OF DOUGHNUTS. I actually had to go and bang on their window and tell them to move along.

I had no idea the next person couldnt use the pump until I'd paid but that makes sense. I had thought it was a good thing to move the car away from the pump when there was a queue.

That wouldnt apply if its a prepay petrol station though would it? Someone could use the pump if theyve paid as soon as youve finished?
