Accidentally filled up a full tank!

[heyworld]

So annoyed with myself! I waited in the queue for ages, I was going to fill up £40 worth. Very hard to get hold of diesel, most places don't have it in my area except 2 petrol station.
There was a car infront of me so when I was filling up I couldn't see the screen where it would show how much is going in! I was trying to guess it and on top of that had my child in the car crying, not to mention the countless cars behind that are glaring!
To my horror I only went and filled up £70! I don't even need thAt much. Really annoyed with myself and hope I've not cost anyone to go without fuel!!

@PhillMcCann

Anyone got any perspective to hand the op?

No but she can have my spare grip

Is this an ‘I’ve got fuel’ brag?
I can’t see any other point in this OP

It's a "my fuel tank is bigger than yours" brag

Seriously?

If you feel guilty, post on your local FB page offering lifts to hospital appointments or people's jobs for those without petrol?

If you are really worried syphon it off and give to a good cause.

Last time I filled up (pre-chaos) I let out an expletive when I saw £55 on the thingymagig.

^^
Blimey @Dragon50 ! If it costs me that much to fill my VW Up I’ll be shocked!

How do you accidentally fill your tank to the tune of £70?

@GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing

My car doesn’t even hold £40 worth

Mine neither!

I can’t see how you can put fuel in and not be able to see the screen

Oh FGS

Double self flagellations tonight please op

@heyworld

My petrol tank was two thirds full after going away this past few days, and I just went and 'topped it up' to full. I didn't even need the fuel really. Coulda gone another week.

That's top-trumped your silly petrol brag eh?

I thought you meant you over filled the tank…as in fuel was spilling all over the forecourt whilst you were blissfully unaware. What an odd post, here’s a grip 😂

Imagine coming home and making a thread about this 😂 your life must be so enviably boring!

@PhillMcCann

Anyone got any perspective to hand the op?

Apart from shaming her for driving a diesel fuelled car? No, sorry, no perspective at all..........

Just don't go back until you actually need to
It's getting ridiculous with people being greedy

Only on Mumsnet would a diesel driver virtue-signal.

Oh stop. Honestly.

It is 100% impossible not to see the dial from any angle; that's why they were designed that way.
Nice try OP.

What do you want? Applause for your feelings of regret. Well done for feeling bad about it 👏 now go about your day. Or go to a confessional perhaps but I doubt any priest could give a shit either.

I am fairly sure OP has ended the world with her oops teehee £70 of fuel.

Has anyone called 101 yet?

I'm filling mine up to full on Friday, and no it's not being selfish! I travel up to 60 miles a days doing my job. I do not need the stress I had the other day of trying to get to my calls with nothing in my fuel tank
