I should have known. only women can be that stupid. see this is why women need to stick to cooking cleaning and making men happy.
I see a flamewar coming! Quick, run to the hills! Let's all just pretend that he didn't say anything, and simply replied, "I feel sorry for you, but I hope next time you are more aware of the potential dangers around you." Okay, I'm done.
I second that, chaosmint!!
There's another reason not to let go of the nozzle when you're pumping gas: There's the possibility of building up a static charge and causing a fire. Google for Gas Pump Static and see what can happen. In some countries locking the nozzle is not allowed to make sure you hold the nozzle and to stop this from happening.
Good point. A lot of people take for granted just how dangerous it is to pump gas. All of the instructions at the pump are there because not doing those things are what results in accidents. We don't notice the dangers first hand because we spend very little time at gas stations, and even then we're only at one of hundreds of thousands of stations in the world.
YDI for not monitoring your pump , by the way why should the station pay for your ignorance
You deserved it for not paying attention. You wouldn't believe how many people actually do what you did, and then they expect a refund for the gas that spilled out. PAY MORE ATTENTION.
You totally deserve it! I work at a gas station and its tosl bull shit when I have to clean up after you pricks arent paying attention and leave shit unattended!! I net your bitch ass then thought it was the most brilliant idea ever to grab the closest squigee and clean the side of the car, so then the next person using it puts it all over their windsheild!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I hate you people!!!!!!
You apparently don't know anything about working in a gas station. It's harded that you thinks. Pricks, yes I used that word, PRICKS walk into the store, the first thing they do is look behind the counter to make sure that the cashier is there. As if we aren't allowed to be anywhere else in the store. And then they walk to the counter like they are going to get something and then continue to the back of the store to browse. Or Pricks take the nozzle out and put it in thier car as if gas is going to magically come out without them using a card or prepaying. Then when they stand there for a few mins and realize that nothing is happening, they want to come inside and ask, "Is there a porblem?". And We have to reply with, "No sir, it's prepay or pay by card." Then they proceed with, " I'm not going to drive off with your ******* gas." Or they say, " I didn't see no prepay sign on the pumps." When there is actually two, Right in FRONT of thier face. Douche bags then leave thier card, stomp out to thier pump, start to pump thier gas and walk back in the store. Before anyone else realizes it I'm pushing the stop button on the ******* screen because his gas is pouring all over the parking lot. And now I have to hear him curse and yell and demand his money back for all the "******* wasted gas". I simply say, " Sir, it was on a card. No refund. There are signs on the pumps saying, "Do NOT leave Unattended." Which sends him into this rampage about faulty equipment. Faulty or not, the signs are there for a reason. Then to shup the loud mouth up I offer him a free carwash to wash off the gas that has run all over his shiney red convertable. Asshole. So to you sir I say, you know nothing about the cashier in the gas stations you go into.
Aaaaaaaaa-men. We have to not only man the register, but keep the store clean, stock everything (I dare anyone to suggest a good way to stock the cooler at night AND be right there at the register at the same time), and a whole slew of other stuff. It's definitely an interesting job and you meet a whole lot of people, but it's not even a tenth as easy as people think. Massive YDI to the OP, and the lazy scumbags like them.
its short for gasoline but i agree with you, cant they call it petrol? or is that word to long for them to understand
As an Englishman, I really hate to say this, but gasoline is probably a more valid name for it then petrol(lium).
Yeah, gotta agree with SimpleSimon here. Gas is a shortened form of gasoline, which is what you pump into a car to use as fuel, whereas petrol is short for petroleum, the unrefined/pre-distilled version of gasoline.
Haha, you foolish Brit!
Seeing as how WE were the first to exploit oil, and become it number 1 consumer, we will call it what we please.
haha and thats why you lost America because of attitudes like that and thinking you're the shit. Britain can suck America's **** you preppy faggots
Rule Britannia!
#72, you epitomise the typical dumb ******* American the rest of the world loves to hate. Supremely arrogant, ignorant of absolutely anything that goes on outside of your country's own borders, and somehow absolutely oblivious to all of this. Also, why call us faggots while simultaneously suggest some sort of homoerotic act of cocksucking? Go back to the trailer park and **** your cousin Marlene.
Gotta love the flag waving patriotic "my country is better than yours" bullshit, good lord who gives a shit? People use different words for the same thing in countries that speak the same language? Wow, shocking! Why do you guys call cigarettes fags? That is so gay!
Girls can suck cocks too, so it's not always a homoerotic act.
you know my parents own a gas station and the pumps sometimes don't shut off here either who would of thought that something could do that. like everyone else said YDI for not watching the pump. 90% of the time the person working behind the counter can't see the gas flowing out of your car anyway. you know the big signs above gas pumps that say "do not leave you car unattended" yea that's there for this reason. almost as bad as smoking while pumping gas.
OP, YDI, for being a ******* mong. I don't know how your pumps work over there, but over here, it's impossible to leave your vehicle while filling, because releasing the 'trigger' on the handle stops the flow. You can even slow it down by squeezing less. We still have an auto stop, but I think generally people are smart enough to watch what they're doing whilst messing with volatile substances.
Even water is volatile; it readily enters its gaseous form. The word you are looking for, my dear, is a bit more explosive in nature.
I could roll over here and say touche. However, your condescending attitude has pissed me off, so I shall resort to immature name-calling to make me feel better. Minge face.
English people, shut up for a minute if you don't know what you're talking about. Most gas stations in the US have nozzles whose handles you squeeze once, set, and then you wait. When the tank is full, the gas shuts off. It's still a good idea to be close by and watch it in case it malfunctions and keeps going, as seems to be the case here. FYL, OP.
*rebuttal You should probably learn to spell before you insult the intelligence of an entire nation, hun. :)
How is that being arrogant? They were kindly explaining to you kindly Brits how we do things over here in 'Merica
Keywords
that is why you aren't supposed to leave your car unattended while you are pumping gas of course i'm assuming you left it, because i think only an idiot wouldnt notice this that is also a possibility though :]
YDI for not paying attention. You deserve to be charged extra for endangering everyone around you.
