Just pick a car to wait behind FFS! You don't go to the supermarket and stand in the middle of the checkout area expecting everyone to queue behind you, so don't do it at the petrol station.
Mrs. NS always waits for a pump that's on the filler cap side. Apprently all her female friends do this also. This can take some time.Just pick a car to wait behind FFS!

I can't stand using them - I hate the way they are so useless, I don't like the feeling in my finger when I have to prod them as they are so unresponsive. Just use a fking keypad instead of trying to be trendy you wkers.
As a child of the 1960's anything self service drives me bananas, the worst though is in Barclays, get rid of all the counters and stick in two big iPads which no one can work out how to use, and then wait for what seems like hours whilst frustrated staff show some poor 80 year old how to pay a cheque in.

Two middle aged women in front of me in the queue at the railway ticket office last Friday. Several of us were anxious to buy tickets in time to catch the train. They get to the front of the queue then start a discussion about whether to buy a day return or a London travel card. They debated for a fair few minutes while the rest of seethed behind them.
The absolute who decided to close the M3 this evening. The roadworks are an absolutely fking joke, not much grinds my gears but the manner in which the M3 has been totally ruined by inefficient and expensive roadworks really does piss me off big time.
This evening coming down the M25, approaching the M3 turn off they decided to close L1 with a red X, suggesting that the M3 northbound access was closed. Variable limit then down to 20, yes 20mph while the main carriageway had NSL signs - fking dangerous. Then come round the bend to suddenly be faced with NSL signs on the gantry above M3 northbound but two red X's above the M3 southbound. Cars were going both directions, regardless of the red X's, I chose to be "legal" and divert up the M3 north, into London. Not much good when I'm trying to get to Hampshire.
That project is an absolute disgrace.

Plenty of men do it as well, but I'm all for it if it means I get a pump more quickly.bad company said:

did those who were anxious about missing their train not realise the tickets could be purchased on the train (or in advance)?This guy.

Some may remember him from Dragons Den, when he was as equally as fanciful. Sure mate, you turned down £90 million for your start up company, because it's going to be worth £1billion! He maybe needs to think that before he spouts nonsense that his company is Limited, all the numbers are out there for whoever wishes to see them

Yes yes yes and more yes! Completely oblivious to the utter chaos caused behind then (a bunch of them singlehandedly brought Lysander Road in Yeovil to a standstill once).

Nothing more satisfying than going round them to join a pump queue and finishing filling up before they've even started however!

Can I add to this drivers that go to the airline, go round the car taking off all the dustcaps, then go round the car putting in air, then go round the car again putting the fking dustcaps back on.

No, you may not. JUST TAKE OFF THE DUSTCAP AS YOU PUT AIR IN THE fkING TYRE THEN PUT IT ON AGAIN!
I do this as nine times out of ten the bd spring on the hose return is so strong you need one hand on the trigger and the other to wrestle with the hose. As soon as you let go of one of or the other to replace the valve cap the thing is trying to snake it's way back into it's housing, usually via some bit of paintwork on your car or jamming itself between the ground and a tyre requiring some Indiana Jones-style whipaction to free it.
At worst, both methods will take the same amount of time so your rant is misplaced.
