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!!

@anon12345678901 that and I think these people get some type of kick out of knowing they've bugged people. Just plain weird.

I got over 50 and filled mine up yesterday. What's the issue ?

This has made me laugh all day if anyone needs to laugh at something

So you managed to go over not by 30p, but by £30?
Yeah ok. 🙄

one male motorist yelled he’s been driving round for over three hours looking for fuel
😂 Idiot must have used 1/4 of a tank minimum!

I've been sniggering all day at it

Okay.👌
Luckily you can afford to pay for it.

Not surprised

Meh

@KentuckyCriedFricken

Either a stealth boast about how big and (probably) expensive her car is (anything that takes 70 quid to fill is going to be a vehicle of some size and power) or virtue signaling.

Or both. I vote "both".

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

To be fair, if I have to use the extra long hose, I can't see over the top of my car and can't see the numbers. I am very short though

Every pump I've ever been to is at side of you, this story doesn't even make sense.

Wow aren't you all so funny with your boring lives. Piss off

I don't know why it's so
Hard for a lot of you to grasp why I couldn't see the screen!! I couldn't go any further because of the car in front, was I supposed to just crash in to it and force it forward. Are you all even aware where the cap fuel is, at the far end of the car, so am away from the screen.
Also where in my post did I say am filling my tank which is half full, rather stupid thing to do if I don't need it, I was running on reserve so I did need to fuel up but didn't need a full tank, why you---- mumsnetters can't fathom that in your tiny little heads, I will never know.

Nope still not getting how you have managed to position the car at a free pump and yet not been able to see the screen. In many many years of filling cars with fuel (all with the fuel cap at the back of the car) I have never been unable to see the display.

Epic come back OP

had a bad day have you? (Head tilt)

What sort of responses were you looking for OP? Sympathy? Praise?

I’m so glad I came back for this 😂 I can hear the tone you said it in and everything! Brilliant

Well that escalated quickly 😳

Well guess you won't need to fill up again for a while.

£70 for half a tank though!! What you driving a German Panzer tank!! 😲

Never has the phrase 'making a drama out of a crisis' matched an OP so well.

What a drama llama.

I’ve got it! This is the energy I’m getting from your response!

lol

What’s with these threads fretting about literally nothing you can do about? The deed is done. Go and have a cup of tea or something stiffer if you want.
