Not a brain cell between them!

I went to my local Tesco recently, I needed to get some fuel and also go into the supermarket. I was just about to drive into the petrol station when I noticed that there was five large cones across the entrance so I drove past. I thought there's probably a fuel tanker en route

I looked over after I'd parked and noticed a car drive in through the exit where there's clearly two no entry signs, then another four cars/sheep followed

Oh how I laughed when I heard the tannoy come on and saw them drive out with their tails between their legs. Seriously, how can some people be so stupid as to think that they are that special they can drive in through an exit and still get petrol when the entrance is closed

:rotfl:

There was an armed raid outside our local Tesco, when the security van collecting the cash was ambushed.

The police placed blue and white tape, with POLICE written all over it, around the immediate area.

People were climbing over the tape trying to get into the store. Some women with kids were doing a sort of limbo action to get under it.

A reminder (if it was needed) that common sense isn't common at all!

Once watched a bloke drive onto the forecourt of a petrol station through the exit. Having pulled-up at the pump, he leapt out of the car and ran over to the shop. He flung the door open and then ran straight into the door frame before finally staggering dazed & bloodied into the shop.

There is a Shell garage in my town that often has cones up blocking the forecourt entrance but no tanker there. Usually mid morning when I see this while driving past. But other times there is a tanker there but the forecourt entrance is open.

Often wonder what it's all about.

I love it when you see a line of cars waiting to get to a pump where their filler cap is on the same side despite pumps on the other side will be free.

I on the other hand, manage to pull up at a pump with my filler cap on the far side of the car. Many a time have I done this, filled up, paid and driven off while numpties have still been waiting BEFORE I have arrived! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I go to whichever pump is available no matter what side. But what I hate is as soon as I've pulled up at a pump on the wrong side, two cars on the other side of the pumps drive off at same time. Usually turns out the car behind is waiting for car in front to move when there is enough room to get a bus round never mind a car.

So am left filling up on the wrong side when two pumps on the correct side are vacant.

I have weak wrists and arm too, I have to wait patiently till there is a pump available for me, which Im quite happy to do.


Effing and blinding says more about the poster than anything else.
limp, oh sorry, weak wrists or not.


And you have been reported too. No doubt I'll get some abuse too

I never fill on the wrong side.

Far too easy to drag a crappy dirty hose across the paintwork - I sit and wait and often have a laugh at the numpties who do that.

I'm never in that much of a hurry and don't want to have spend time polishing off the scuffs.

I suppose most 'numpties' either don't see or don't care about scuffs on the paintwork.

I laugh at them laughing at me waiting.

Just like I laugh at the spotty yoofs who beat me away from the traffic lights.

No need for the insult! I'm sure not everyone who waits for a pump on the same side of their filler cap has the same problem as you.

I think you started with the insults - or perhaps in your neck of the woods calling someone a numpty is not an insult.

Fortunately my wrists/arms/legs are strong enough to be able to manoeuvre the hose adequately without touching my paintwork. To make things easier, I am able to position my car as such that the hose can reach easily with minimal effort. In addition, I think you will find that modern petrol pumps are actually designed to allow filling from the far side of the average car by having either having a retractable hose or one that comes out at a higher position.

Its amazing what small things can amuse some people.
