Standing in the que in a PETROL station wanting to quickly pay for my PETROL and get in with the rest of my life and having to wait till some one either pays for their WEEKLY SHOP or while the attendant goes and makes up their ridiculous , pretentious mokka,chocka, skinny half calf ,decaf , double shot , look at me and my fancy over priced coffee.
Lose days of my life behind these people , filling stations should have a separate till for this sh#t !!!!
Let the rest of us get on and get some work done .

And the folks when they get back in their car at the pump, spending ages rearranging their clothing, storing various items, finding the seat belt, opening a bag of sweets, getting out again to find their keys. Just move off you plonkers...:mad:

What annoys me is when the person in front who has just filled up of you leaves their vehicle by the pump while they go in and pay for their fuel ( And like you say, maybe other things too, coffee, air fresheners cos they have a flatulent dog on the back seat) instead of moving it out of the way so that those of us still in the queue can move up.

that is actually the correct procedure.
might be a pain in the rear end for you waiting to access the pump,but the individual moving the vehicle to accommodate someone else could get in trouble.
soooooo
be eeeee patient

Point taken. Although the one l usually use to fill up has parking places just in front of the kiosk, l move the car into one of those then go and pay. No one has complained yet.
