tonyh29 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 On a similar note, leaving the gym today, as I walked to the car someone drove up and sort of stalked me with their car, obviously waiting for me to leave so they could have my space. Fine, no problem with that. But then, as I was putting my stuff in the boot they had the **** cheek to beep me to hurry up! Needless to say I faffed around for so long that they drove off. Completely agree with all of that, but on the flipside it does really piss me off when it happens at petrol stations. The one I go to when I have to fill up before my trip home from work is always really busy and there are queues despite there being 12 or so pumps. The last time I went the woman I was waiting for got back to her car and faffed around for a good five minutes before leaving, just **** pull out of the space and park over near the exit if you're going to do your **** hair or makeup, you can see there's people waiting! Bellend. I didn't beep her though, don't really think it does anything but have the same effect that dick at the gym had on you. If it's busy I always move my car away from the pump and park up before going into pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2014 I've done that before, but I don't think the next person can use the pump until you've paid anyway can they? So there's not really much point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's not really much point they can use it .. the bloke behind the till gets a beeping sound and he has to push a button ..guess it could depend on the bloke on the till but my local Shell garage bloke seems to know the score ..either that or he is blindly pushing buttons !!

Fair enough. A guy moved for me once before he paid but I end up stood there until he paid (or at least that's how it appeared.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another thing at my old place we had a subsidised restaurant which was really good so you could get a roast dinner for example for £3.50. I just spent 8 quid today for some salmon and rice.

chrisp65 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I accidentally spent £12 in Pret on day one, only to find some idiot had decided it was a funky cutting edge idea to put slices of fruit in a bacon roll. There some sort of Hare Krishna kitchen two blocks away, going to give them a spin next week. At least I'll be prepared and on the look out for strange fruity additions.
