Isn't that the main concern here?

Christ, no wonder this country is in such a mess!

It's like people who take an age to leave a petrol pump after paying; they adjust their seat, check their phone, lean across into the glove box, have a fiddle with the radio, put a bit of lippy on, all whilst glancing in their rear view mirror a few times to check on you; only doing it because they can and they know it is annoying.

In this situation, I always look down into the footwell, so they can't see the froth coming from my mouth!

Or best of all those who fill up and then it suddenly dawns on them that they have to pay so take 5 minutes finding handbag, looking at text from Debbie, replying to text from Debbie. Finding purse. Walking to shop. Walking around shop. Paying for fuel. Going to loo. Walking around shop a bit more and picking up copy of magazine. Read for a minute. Pay for magazine. walk back to car. Check reply from Debbie. Get into car. Start car. Pull forward 1 inch. Stop. Allow passenger out of car. Passenger then goes into shop and to loo. Passenger then looks at magazines on way back from loo, pays for it and returns to car.

Minus the passenger bit I have seen countless times. the passenger addition I have only been at the station long enough to see twice in recent memory.

I have never seen anything like the above.

It must be where you lot live.

Next time, set a stop watch and see just how long they are actually taking. I'd be surprised if it's more than a minute on average. Are you really THAT impatient?

Maybe he misread what you were mouthing as "hi-darling" and got scared and left quickly.

[soad]

Checking texts/setting destination for the Sat Nav etc?

You are probably correct, however there is nothing worse than a ditherer or someone who deliberately takes their time just to be annoying.

And the women are even worse.

Could look like "Hi Steven"

Maybe he thought - mistaken identity

A minute on average is pretty st considering there might be a queue behind you. In, seatbelt, fire engine up, handbrake, check for dangers, go.

However, when I see an empty car in front of me, I just turn the engine off and relax. I don't bother turning the engine back on until I see they've turned the engine on again.

Maybe he mistook, "You off?" for something entirely different.
