diesel pumps and filling stations in general. RANT.

[Steve]

There should be more diesel pumps at filling stations. I sat for 5 minutes the other day, waiting for a diesel pump (at the correct side) to become vacant. And why dont the petrol car drivers drive to the vacant unleaded-only pumps first?

And what's with pulling up, gathering your possesions together for 5 minutes, THEN getting out and pumping? HELLO!! There's people behind you, waiting for fuel!!! I spend as little time as possible at the pump, even if it means I have to drive to the sidelines for a couple of minutes to gather my things together afterwards. Especially when I use my eyes and see the queue behind me. I go in, pay, and drive off. No fannying about. Why must people spend so long sat at the pump???

perhaps they want to give the litttle man inside a rest?

ARGH!!

now then, you're not supposed to park on the pump's pedestal!!!!

Doing this always gets some interesting looks for the person pumping - how to get the filler out without dribbling . . . . I end up bent double trying to twist the filler downwards to stop diesel dribbling on the paintwork.
