to be cringing at myself!!

[PossibiliTea]

I was inside the parked car at the petrol station while my friend filled up and sent a text on my phone... massive loud voice over tannoy to get off the phone... busy petrol station erghhh how embarrassing!! I know it was U to be on the phone I was i the wrong etc but proper felt like I was back at school being told off!

I know it has the sign not to, just didn’t even think!!

Has anyone else had anything embarrassing happen today please make me feel better!

I thought the bag was because they thought you could hack into the pump and get free fuel.

Have you ever dropped a match into a petrol can? Guess what happens? It goes out!

On one of the rides at LEGOLAND they have a tannoy to tell people to sit down. We were waiting across for another ride and I heard-imagine the voice getting more irritated with each sentence:
"Please do not have children on your lap"
"Please make sure children stay in their own seat."
"Will the lady holding her child please put them in their own seat."
"Get your child off your lap! It isn't safe."
"Will the lady wearing the blue coat with the small boy in red put him in his own seat or I will stop the ride."
"I am stopping the ride in 5... 4... Finally! Some people are so stu..."
I'm not sure whether the last bit was not meant to be heard or someone cut them off deliberately. But our queue was in hysterics.

I can beat this op. Last Sunday morning i nipped to our local bp garage which has a Tesco express attached. Brought bread, milk and loo roll. Went back to car. To hear an announcement over the forecourt tannoy saying I'd forgot the loo rolls 😳. I'm just glad I hadn't brought condoms. And before anyone says it loo rolls is no big deal etc but I just hate attention on me and everyone looked.

ineedamoreadultieradult that lampost totally fancied you. Surely it realised you were waiting for a bus?

MacTweedy - yes I think it was. I couldn't remember the name but Brainiac sounds right.

doyawannabuildasnowmaaaaaaaan you for got your loo rolls and your senokot 😂

@MiddleClassProblem 😂 yes it could have been worse

"My nan then got out the car the finish he get."

What does that mean?

ineedamoreadultieradult That's rather sweet.

@MacTweedy I think it was brainiac. They put a few dozen mobiles in a caravan with petrol (they loved destroying caravans) and called one. Nothing happened and they eventually called all the phones at once with no effect whatsoever.

I miss brainiac.

doyawannabuildasnowmaaaaaaaan ergh yeah that’s a goodun!

Possibilitea re: open doors. Apparently you should have the doors closed when re-fuelling and my DD had it open as we were chatting. Don't know if this is a real
Thing but Tannoy Announcer was very insistent that it was.

I will make you feel better OP!

About 25 years ago I actually got out of my car with a cigarette alight at a petrol station

A very nice man said "You need to stub that out love - petrol innit?"

Marmite, why would you not just open the window to chat through?!

My friend got off the train after a night out and desperately needed a wee. There weren't toilets on the train or at the station so she waited til everyone left the platform and had a wee behind the bench. A voice boomed over the tannoy "can the young lady urinating all over platform 3 please use the mop and bucket under the steps to clean up after herself." she had to get the bus to the next station for her commute after that!

It's ridiculous. It has been disproven time and time and time again. The station cashier was probably a jobsworth or an idiot who thought it would be funny to use the tannoy to embarrass a customer. As people have said, there are apps to bloody pay for fuel!
I did have to laugh when I heard a loud tannoy bollocking at a garage because a pair of fucking tools stood smoking while filling up beside us. Now that is far more likely to ignite fumes and they refused to put out their cigarettes until a security guard came to sort it.

Once when I went in to pay, a man was being very rude to the staff because HE had put the wrong fuel in his car. He was being quite a knob to them. They politely gave him a number of a company who would come and sort it out for him.

He flounced out of the shop and stalked around the forecourt shouting into his mobile. Oh how I laughed when the staff called him over the tannoy to get off his phone!

Marmite..you need to stop giving this petrol station your money haha these things make no sense!

Rothbury hahaaa well I kind of understand but that’s a nicer way of being told I think. Makes me feel better that other people go against the rules too!

Jackie that does beat mine!

Yeah smoking I get that haha! Well if it made them feel big to tell me off I hope it made their day, because you lot have made me feel tonnes better about the palava!

Of course you can use your phone in the car, it is no difference to you having your phone in the car and someone calling you whilst you are filling up. Or does no one take their phone to the petrol station?

Gowern I think my 6 yr old DD opened the door and was giving instructions on the exact type of chocolate she would like. Didn't realise it was going to turn into a full conversation or I would have opened the window.

In Portugal, they won't turn on the pump if any doors are open

What if it’s a soft top?

They would have got a lovelymiddle finger from me. Over-reaching cunt.

I'd be more worried about the electronics in the car than any in a phone.

@clockworklime I don’t know why I didn’t think of that at the time I might go back get my phone out let them tell me off again and give them what for
