Pulling away after fuelling up. Was I in the wrong?
Discussion
Went to the petrol station today, put in £100 worth of diesel.
Went in to pay, left the vehicle at the pump.
Grabbed a drink from the fridge as I walked past the fridge to pay. I spent about 30 seconds deciding which drink I wanted.
Now firstly, the woman beind the counter is a bit crazy and always tries to talk to me about nonsense. I just try and laugh it off and secretly want her to hurry the f
k up.
Anyway, i pay for the fuel, which is on a company card. I have to give her the mileage, sign the receipt etc.
I then need to pay for the drink. I give her the cash, dont bother about the change or receipt and walk out.
As im walking back to the vehicle, some old fking wanders over to me and goes; "YOU SHOULD HAVE PULLED UP OVER THERE IF YOU'RE DOING YOUR SHOPPING!"
I politely tried to explain that i'd just put £100 worth of diesel in. I first thought he didnt realise i'd bought fuel, but then he goes; "I KNOW THAT BUT YOU'VE BEEN THERE FOR 10 MINUTES!!!" (which was clearly bks).
We 'agreed to disagree' and I politely told him to jog on (the flat cap wearing old tt).
Anyway, was I in the wrong? It infuriates me when people come back to the car at the pump with bags of shopping, but i only bought a fking drink. Should i have pulled off the pump anyway?
Im pretty certain he was just a moaning old prick who doesnt understand how long it takes to pay with a fuel card (coupled with the crazy bint at the till), but i need some PH clarification on this.
It's one of those things that pissed me off for the rest of the day, and still annoys me now.
In an attempt to get additional PH rant points;
fk wker bks old man.

k wker bks old man.This really boils my piss! It happened to me the other week, in exactly the same situation. So I just leant against my car enjoying my drink. The guy was going mental in his car and completely didn't notice that the pump that I had parked at, was out of order.
So when I pulled forward, I stopped at the exit and watched him. I honestly don't think I have laughed that hard, ever.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE PULLED UP OVER THERE IF YOU'RE DOING YOUR SHOPPING!"
"That's right, I should IF I was doing my shopping. Now good day, sir, I bid you adieu until we meet again to spar ina battle of wittery"
(Stand to attention, salute hard and march to your car shouting "Left, right, left right...)

our best filling stations are the ones where you fill up then can only drive to a payment booth, shops on site aggravate the process
also........... why do car drivers only use the pump on the side where their tank is when the hoses will reach to the other side - making all pumps accessible....
