Is this the trampiest thing you've ever heard?!?

[RachaelCatWhisperer]

Brace yourself...

So I'm filling up the car with petrol today, 5 months pregnant, and a woman comes up to me and asks for a lighter and a fag... I replied "you don't want a lighter at a petrol station love" and she asked why!

Or has something even more bonkers happened to you today??

I'll never tell. But his country had been bombed to shit and he was in a field selling shitty petrol. I guess he probably felt that he didn't have much left to lose.

At least that's what I'd like to think rather than he was stupid as fuck.

Oh and once I was servicing my motorbike. I put the chain in a bucket of petrol to clean it. I then turned my attention to the spark plugs etc. I thought my bum was getting rather warm and realised I had flicked my fag end into the bucket of petrol and it was alight. The chain was fine as it is only the petrol vapour that burns.

Trampy means slutty here too.

But, she may have thought the same of you, that your like the other pregnant woman and would have a spare fag and lighter. You say you saw a pregnant woman smoking, so she may have thought you dressed and carried yourself in a similar way....maybe :)

The mobile thing, brainiacs did an experiment thing once and it was something about static build up in clothing like track suits irrc

Maybe she didn't know you were pregnant. She probably thought you were just fat.

no, the trampiest thing I ever heard was when my friend used to get an empty lemonade bottle to use as a pillow for his head for when he was sleeping in a shop doorway.
or did she want the lighter to make a fire to cook hedgepig? That would have been quite trampy.

I bet that was an exciting moment Elephant!!

Someone really trampy came and shared my table in a cafe yesterday. There were plenty of other tables available but she homed in on me.

Not slutty, but totally uncouth - the way she spoke to me to ask whether the seat was free, the way she cursed her tablet, the way she ate and dropped food all over her lap and her general huffing and puffing.

It quite ruined my zen.

oh wait..I missed my stop on the last train and had to wait four hours at the terminus station for the first train back in the morning. For a while I lay on a bench, then later, I shut myself in the lift and lay in there. That was pretty trampy.

Was filling up with petrol the other day and a guy tried filling up his motorbike whilst the engine was running. He was getting so angry that the guy in the shop wasn't switching his petrol on. I had to go over and tell him. He was quite young, I don't think he'd actually filled the thing up by himself before.

I live in Texas. Everyone smokes at the gas station here .... unless you get shot.....

I think it's quite tasteless to call someone "trampy".

I'm in Texas too Bradley I've never seen anyone smoking at a gas station!

I have never seen anyone smoking at the gas station.

However I do leave my engine running. I also lock the fuel handle so I can leave it dispensing fuel so I can get a coffee!

I was once told off over the tannoy for leaving my car door open when filling up at the petrol station. How did she get away with holding a fag asking for a lighter? 🤔🤔.

In SE Asia once, got a lift on a small motorbike taxi, like a scooter.

When dropped me off he said he thought he was nearly out of petrol. To check, he opened the tank (under the seat) and PUT A LIT MATCH TO IT!!!

Luckily, he was right and it burned lined a very small gas ring.

Leaving the engine running while filling up? Must be america, petrol so cheap it is effectively free. That next generation clearly deserve all they get on your opinion.

Trampy means slutty to me, and I didnt think anyone still used that term.

It's $2.20 a gallon so not that cheap

Yeah, we only pay about $7.50 per gallon here in the U.K.

$2.20 would practically be free here.

Clearly cheap enough that you don't care about wasting it. Stuff the kids, eh?

It still shuts off when it's full, nothing is waisted. Just means I don't have to stand there.

1 gallon is 4.5 litres. shit...you pay like over £1 for 4.5 litres of "gas"?! Really expensive...not.

How is it trampiest? Because you're pregnant?

This is where natural selection comes to mind!

'Trampy' means a bit common, uncouth where I am from. It is a very old (eg. When we were at high school) kind of insult, predates things like chavvy I guess.,

It's odd for someone to ask a pregnant woman for a fag but the person probably asked every single person they saw and didn't think to check whether they looked like they may be a smoker?
