Shudder

When the only available pump is on the opposite side to your fuel cap:

  • I am a coward and will wait for a pump on the correct side to become available
  • I’m a maverick and know that hoses easily reach the other side of the car

I am barely get the hose to reach if I stop half a metre further back than normal - no way I’m getting one round the car.

Never have to wait where I fill up though, probably because you can get cheaper petrol ten minutes down the road.

I’m not sure that makes you a maverick. If you intentionally pull up on the wrong side in order to stretch it then that’s more maverick.

I’ve noticed that sometimes you have to give it a bit of a tug to extend it.

I know you’re joking but I’ve been in situations where i’ve the money all planned out until payday though, and literally down to pennies so going 50p over would fuck me, or at least mean than something else would fall by the wayside.

On seeing this at the pump though i’m totally with you - makes me shudder seeing it a penny over!

Same, but that just means I’m more careful and go up penny by penny once I get to xx.90

I usually just do little £10 top ups but sometimes if I want some sweets I’ll do £8.20 and then let the sweets do the rest or if I’m feeling fancy I’ll go to like £13.20 and let the sweets do their thing.

That’s just showing off.

I only noticed a couple of days ago that some of the diesel pumps have the glove thing

That sweet sweet twitch twitch of the lever, edging closer…

There’s usually disposable gloves in the top part of the bin, no? Or there are at the three ones I go to (all of which are different companies).

#591

Then that moment of sheer terror when you stop waiting to check it isn’t going to tick over.

The petrol station I used to fill up at used to have a plate with pennies on it, so that if someone was trying to fill up to a round number but overshot they could take a penny and use that, which was a nice gesture

i haven’t done more than 200 miles since march, and that was all in one trip.

pretty sure my car is going to break down soon from only using it once a month to go to the recycling centre 2 minutes away.

Oh whoops they probs all do. I’m really unobservant at the pumps
