Default Comment today in a petrol station

I have a completely standard Blobeye STI and was in the process of buying petrol when the 'assistant' said to me....

'What did that look like before you decided to pimp it up to the max?' ....to which i wanted to reply but didn't...."What did you look like before you were fat"

'Er, I bought it new like that'

'Oh, so what is it, a Ford?'............no !

'A suba what'?

Not sure that's the best way to talk to customers....****

You should try explaining to a curious attendant that the big red thing with spouty spoilers and nostrils on the forecout which I just dumped £60 of petrol in is a Vauxhall. Then repeat the word Mon-a-ro three times (third time slowely).

Then the conversation progresses a bit like this:

I get asked how big the engine is.

6 litres.

what?

6 litres

F**k me, Dat a v6 or somethin?

Nope its a v8.

Bets dat uses some petrol

'bout 20mpg

<blank expression>

An dat's a Vauxhall, right?

Yes its a (f**kin) Vauxhall


It was cool at first, now its starting to get annoying.

One young lady at the place round the corner from me asked,

"if the hole in the bonnet gets filled with water, wont the engine go out" ??!?!?!?

I said it hadnt happened yet, but I'd watch out for it.......

And she looked at me as if I was the stupid one.

After filling up at my local Shell garage and starting the engine, a bloke came up to my window and said "Nice car mate....u wanna get that idle sorted though, sound like its misfiring"

I was going to explain the whole un-equal length manifold thing but
I just looked at him for a few seconds, shook my head and drove away misfiring all the way............

My 'bundle of fun' garage attendant greeted me one early morning with "£30 of diesel sir?". My heart sank into my shoes at the thought of my stupid mistake, until she started laughing. Oh what fun it must be to try and make people think they've filled up with the wrong fuel!

You are aware of the concept known as humour, and its not-entirely-serious nature, aren't you?

First ever Scooby meet i went to was a joint Wales and Midlands one. The car park was packed to the gills with Imprezas, 30 plus at least, so as you can imagine it attracted some interest.

Hanging around minding my own business and some plank in a 1.1 Saxo with a Peco exhaust comes reving into the car park, onto the gravel area, wheelspins and revs around some of the cars and drives off dipping the clutch and reving as he goes WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha,

Nothing wrong with working in a petrol station, I did that a while back in between jobs, paid the bills.

But you do get the typical characters in there, usually young people earning a few extra squids, got one guy at my local tesco petrol station who always has something to say about cars.. rough outline of the conversation that entails when I go to pay for fuel:

"so you ad anfink new dun to it?"

"erm.. no, its still the same as it was when it left the factory.."

"yeah well my mate's mate's mate's girlfriends sisters mate's brothers mum has got a boyfriend who has got a mate who has got another mate that is well into his cars init man!!!! yeah its weeekid and he's got like this ***** RS Turdbo with cossie pistons, rocket engine, nitro injection and it only needs one wheel coz its so ******* fast man its mentaaaaaal!!!! yeah init!!!! the fasteds cozzie around yeah its well weeekid!!!"

"I thought you said it was an RS Turbo?"

"Yeah he has got a cozzie as well man I bet it would raise your car right up coz its well fast init?"

Probably his 1.1 fiesta in the car park with the Halfords Christmas specials on it.

I used to work as a petrol pump attendant way back in 1985 when I was 17 and petrol was sold in gallons

The amount of fiddle you could make with company car / van drivers was nearly better than the wages

Pulled into the Tesco's in Boston this week.

Punter @ the next pump said, I can give you the number of a good Mechanic to sort out that misfiring engine, it sounds loud & i'd have it looked at if I were you.

I explained that is how a full 3" Exhaust system sounds.

He then said, can give you the number of a good little independent Exhaust Place to sort out your Exhaust then.

Thanks I said, I'll just have to live with it!

At least he was trying to be helpful.
