OK, who put the linky in the wrong thread?

Brief re-cap of previous posts; agree about the US (LA etc.) - nightmare; most require payment up front, loads want your zip code, and as for the ones you have to pull up the catch thing on the pump - wtf is that about?

Bit suprised someone here couldn't tell the difference between a petrol and a diesel though

A while ago I took my new mundano back to Ford a while ago acusing them of not including the 6 disc shuffler; I'd looked everywhere. Salesguy knew what I did for a living (audio stuff) and proceeded to take the **** somewhat; all 6 discs get fed into the head unit! He then gave me the manual they hadn't included with the car...

I once stole a green mini in a petrol station.







Pulled in, filled up, went to pay leaving wifey sitting in the car, came out, jumped into car, managed to get about 10 yards before the bird in the passenger seat started screaming. Stopped green mini - climbed out, walked 20 yards to red mx5 that had replaced our green mini some three years previously.... a surreptitious glance around showed at least 6 people crying with laughter..... bastids

I had to go and fill up an automatic Supra last week for a customer that was due in to collect his car.
Got to the fuel station ok and popped the cap ok (same place as the scoob)
Put in the Optimax fine and then leaned in to get wallet and his keys out out of the ignition..

Pull.. nope
perhaps it's not off properly
turn nope..
ahh
Push and turn nope
WTF! (sits back in car)
it says push by the side of the key.
push, turn, pull, push, wiggle, turn, push, pull.. attendant now thinking I'm about to do a runner..

DING !!
put gear stick into PARK !!!

Not me, but the director at my previous job (who's licence should be due to expire soon, he must be in his 70s by now)

Fills up his Merc and pays with no problem, gets into a seat, shuffles around, pulls his seat belt on, struggles to extract keys from trouser pocket because the seatbelt is on, finds keys, looks blank for a moment.. "Where's the steering wheel gone?". He was in the back seat.

Edit: And during the last fuel crisis, overheard this conversation after the dozy bint had filled up..

"Will I be ok running 4 star in this?"
"Have you got a catalyctic convertor?"
"No idea"
*attendent peers at H-reg Pug* "Should be ok at that age, I guess"
"thanks, I normally put diesel in but you've run out"

Happened to me too in LA where they are understandably cagey about letting you have fuel before you've paid for it. Except I stormed up to the cashier demanding he turn the flippin pump on.

It also took 3 goes to fill up the hire car because we had no idea how much the car could take. Bit of a pain going through the whole paying by credit card 3 times, especially when the last payment was for something stupid like $0.79 and the twanny cashier wouldn't break a $20 bill (probably something to do with me getting stroppy with him earlier).

I also had problems filling up some Yankmobile in Seattle because I couldn't even find the filler cap. After some time another customer informed us it was behind the fecking number plate!

Lastly, as a sprog squaddie, I failed to find the filler cap on a Landy. Great place for the fuel tank in a military vehicle - right under the fecking seat (not to mention my nads!).

Last night I managed to drop my petrol cap which rolled under the car so, with all the chavs watching, I got down on my knees on the soaking forecourt floor and scrabbled around under the car to retrieve it. I looked and looked but I couldn't find it anywhere until I stood up and found it had rolled back out from under the car and was right by my foot

I was filling the Scoob the other week when this Lovely bit of totty gets out of her Puma, then she bends down to get her bag off the passenger seat the **** on it was perfect, I heard the gun click and took no notice cos I was so into this birds **** and the next thing the gun squirts out all over my lovely clean Scoob, well she cracked up, and I said thats all your fault, never bend over in front of a guy with an **** like yours cos you are gonna cause an accident, well bless her she was great and I said BTW beautiful **** As I got back in my Scoob and she said nearly as good as your car
Cheers

I looked stupid once on a forecourt, bascially what happened was I pulled up in my sisters 2CV. Boy did I feel like a prat.

This thread is brilliant, i have crying with laughter while i am at work. It it good of you to share all these embarrasing stories with us. Sorry but i dont have any of my mine to share but i am sure that the fate is now conspiring against me to make me look at tw@t next time i am filling up!

some bloke did that to me outside b&q, after he had put a couple of bags of slate in the boot of my 306!!!!
couldn't believe it when he got in, so i drove of with him up the car park asking where he wanted to go!!!
turns out his missus had a white 306 parked a few spaces up from me!!!

StickyMicky
