Something that really annoys me...

[Paddy]

..and judging by the number of people who do it I bet a few of you on here are guilty of this too :

People at petrol stations who won't use a pump when it's on the opposite side to their filler cap and just sit there blocking my route to that pump

I mean, a minibus or something fair enough but a Fiat 500? Sheesh....

My car is rather wide, if I do it from the opposite side the nozzle is upside down and cuts out

And whose bright idea was to make filler cap on the other side from the driver?

I guess they are just cheapskates and don't want to adapt model for UK market

It use to mean if you had a Japanese or other model from the Far East you rarely had to queue at petrol stations with pumps with short hoses.

Now it makes no difference as more people have such cars due to them producing smaller fuel efficient models.

Almost as annoying as filler pump hoses that are too short to stretch to the other side of the car. I mean, if I was driving a HGV, that's one thing, but a Fiat 500?

What annoyed me was, when I pulled into my local garage and sat behind a car at a pump - driver nowhere to be seen so obviously, inside paying for their petrol and will be out soon.
After 5 minutes of sitting there and many other cars coming and going, it becomes obvious they've filled up, and then gone into the shop/mini-supermarket, got themselves a trolley and are doing a full shop!

Very annoying. Move your bloody car!!!

Why don't you just keep driving to a filling station that doesn't have such a big queue?

I'm banned from some of the service stations round here so I have limited options

[KentPhilip]

Why don't they have a car that has a filler on both sides?

[kaiser78]

I don't like pay@pump as many times the receipt doesn't print out

Every single time...

[Pondlife]

One car having the filler one side, & the other car having the filler on the other side.

Can never remember which is which.

There's a little arrow on the petrol gauge
