Without wishing to lower the tone of hacks so far posted, I have a bathroom hack/confession I wish to share with the world.
After years of paranoia that I was constantly drying my face with the part of my towel last used when drying my arse crack, it occurred to me that I could easily identify the 'dirty' part of the towel by only using the corner with the washing instructions label for that end.
Perhaps I should tell the other members of my family the details of my plan...

You can smoke a fag and talk to your mrs on your iphone whilst filling up. The chances of blowing the place up are extremely low.
The pumps have a fail safe and aren't directly connected to the tanks anyway.
More H&S crap imo.
Almost every pump in the US has this feature... i've never understood it not being in the UK.The pumps have a fail safe and aren't directly connected to the tanks anyway.

They trialed the US style 'forecourt attendant' thing for a while at my local Shell. I buy super anyway but most people were just bemused at the offer of someone offering to put fuel in their vehicles and pushing 'Super' for the ordinary low spec eurobox.
We are in Roehampton for god sake. Apart from the odd fez its only diesel econoboxes who won't be fussed about super.
Complete lead balloon.

In eastern europe it is not uncommon to fill oversized waterbottles with petrol at the pump whilst smoking a cigerette..
The woman who did it tied them together hung them over each shoulder and then scooted off on some kind of 200mpg 15cc motoped.. It was an interesting site..

So what about if you dribble a little petrol around the filler cap or on the floor and then some fag ash or an unburnt but hot bit of tobacco stalk drops into it?The pumps have a fail safe and aren't directly connected to the tanks anyway.

One - they are truly fecking ugly.
Two - the ratio of rest of body vs arse is all out of kilter. I've got a fat mans arse, and even I don't need half the towel for it.
Alternatively, just use two towels of appropriate body to arse ratio?

If you wash yourself properly then surely it doesn't really matter which bit of the towel you use for what, because everything's clean?

See my reply to a similar point above. Not necessarily rational, definitely a bit of OCD/paranoia, still the bit where the poo comes out regardless how clean anyone gets it.Alternatively, just use two towels of appropriate body to arse ratio?
Two towels?! Do you think we're made of money?

Ha, I fill up at Shell Roehampton too. Pop over while you're having a fag and we can have a game of rock, paper, scissors while we're filling up. We are in Roehampton for god sake. Apart from the odd fez its only diesel econoboxes who won't be fussed about super.

I keep a darning needle (blunt) on my car keys so when I fill up with petrol I can stick the needle in the supplied holes and can then use the clip to allow fill ups without having to keep my hand on the handle all the time. Once the tank is full the pump stops and remove the needle. Job done. Pumps in Europe often have the pin already there.
It's the top of the 2 holes by his little finger and the clip is just above.
I'm sure some H&S guru will be along to say this is very dangerous and kittens will die if you do this but I've done it for years without any issues (I haven't seen the kittens though).
If you have a fuel cap that comes out (not attached) this fits between the handle and the trigger and cuts out when the tank is full!It's the top of the 2 holes by his little finger and the clip is just above.
