In my stint as a gas monkey I hated the ones behind the license plate... They were spring loaded, and the damn things would always snap at my fingers.
It seems in the 60s & 70s, when I learned everything I needed to ever know (Gedoffamalawn!) the hoses were pretty consistently long enough to reach the far side of a car. Then Gary Larsen ruined it.I am not an a**hole. I am a hemorrhoid. I irritate a**holes!

Quoth wolfie View PostDepends what counter she was referring to. If it's the gauge on the dash, she's a moron. If it's the counter on the pump, I could understand turning off the nozzle, pulling it back so it was barely in the filler (i.e. you could see the stream of fuel, but it would go into the tank), then squeezing the trigger to see if fuel comes out. Pulling a nozzle that's set on "full blast" completely out of the tank is a moron stunt.
Quoth blas View PostHow about the idiots who park on the wrong side and try to get the nozzle and hose to go around their car

Quoth Lace Neil Singer View PostIAt the petrol station where I work, each pump has extra long hoses so if you've a) got a reasonably sized car and b) park close enough to the pump, it is entirely possible to stretch the hose over the car and fill it. However, if you're driving an SUV the size of a Sherman tank, it's not going to be possible no matter how much you yank at the hose. -.-Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.
