If everyone didn't panic buy there would be no problem - but that won't happen, so either join them - or have no fecking petrol.

Hope that makes sense.

People creating a fuel crisis out of nothing by buying petrol that they don't need are scum.
People who have to have something, just so other people don't get it are scum.
People who are sheep and have to do what everyone else is doing are scum.
People who want a piece of what other people have, at the expense of those people, are scum.
There are plenty more, but these are the ones pertinent to the current scum-induced fuel crisis.

Was weird, my petrol light was on yesterday, so needed fuel to get to work. I never expected to see the huge queues I saw when I got to my local petrol station, I was like "what the hell"?!?!
Whilst queueing for petrol - I felt like a greedy selfish scumbag!! Was odd, cos as said, I was running on fumes!!
There was a bloke in a Range Rover that filled up 2 canisters after putting 90 litres in his car though, that annoyed me somewhat!!

Filling tank cos of rumours of a crisis is OK.
Filling canisters and generally being a **** makes you scum.

Suppose you're right
. We needed a tank anyway (and it was only 1 tank ). I am going to keep my trap shut now Edited for an after thought: Screw you UB, don't make me feel bad for not wanting to give birth at the side of the M8

If you're the first person off a plane, walk in the wrng direction and watch how many people just follow you in the assumption you're going the right way. i'd say 70% of passengers would be right there. Quality.

Who here is NOT a sheep?
We know who you are, you're the ones broken down having run out of petrol
People don't want to run out of petrol, simple. Call them scum, sheep or whatever, they've got petrol in their tank unlike the rest of you They win, you lose.
