Strange petrol station incident

[Scouse]

I was filling up at the petrol station the other day when someone yelled across the forecourt -

him:"mate, do you always fill it up like that?"

me: "err... yeah"

him: "do you get more in like that then?"

me: "yeah obviously"

I got off, walked to go and pay and just as I get to the door I hear him call me a 'doughnut' to his missus!?

WTF?

Don't know what I did to deserve that but couldn't really care either, he obviously wasn't too much of an intellectual chap.

Anyone else had any strange, random or plain stupid questions thrown at them whilst out and about?

[Bofh5]

usual comments "those things will kill you" from morons who probably never road a bike in their life.

also had a lecture from and old bat because my bikes a tad noisy

and had someone tard complain because i parked at the front of tescos when it was p1ssing it down the other day. i wasnt in the way or anything just wanted to load up my shopping without gettting soaked.

Walking to my bike in bike kit a few weeks ago, and a drunken student stumbles up
"have you got a bike or a genuine car"
"a bike"
"Oh I know you, you're a J...J-Jewcati aren't you"
"no, go away"

There was also one when sat at lights with Matt last year
some guy wanders up to us and shouts
"SUZUKI? Fooking Shit!"

Undereducated neanderthal failures should really just keep their mouths shut and concentrate on slitting their wrists the proper way. I especially like the breed that pretend they're going to jump out in front of you, just wish they'd funking actually do it.

here's a question and i'm asking because i've seen a few people do this and thought it was weird.

how many of you sit on your bike while you fill up and how many get off and stand to the side?

I'm a get off and stand kinda guy, never understood the whole stay on it thing as your gonna have to get off to pay anyway.

i'm a side stand fill up but then my bike sits well up right.
some bikes do lean a lot more when on the side stand so sitting on it may be useful to get a full tank.

Im a sitter, generally dont have to get off to pay, use pay at pump where I can.

[ms51ves3]

I sit with the bike on its side stand, I just can't be bothered standing up

[Handsome]

I stand over the bike and fill it right up, it's the way I've always done it...

On the CRM was filling up at something like 2am on a Monday morn' and this nice chap came up and asked to sit on it, as he was looking for an offroader that would fit him.. Bit weird given the time of day and whatnot but he was pleasant and all.

At traffic lights had a local nutcase/drunk yell at me 'IS THAT A KAWASAKI?' when I was on my vfr..

Also I'm a stand-up and fill kinda guy. Normally pay in the kiosk and get baccy/gum/etc..

I was walking back to my bike after paying for petrol once and a guy had parked up next to my bike and started trying to fill up (inevitably trying to get the pump to reach over about 5 feet. He was smiling and said "hello". " said "alright" in reposnse, but felt like asking him if he would attempt what he was doing had I been driving a car.

Another time at work, there are some old women who work in an adjacent office (the "ooooooo a motorbike" kind) and upon saying good morning to me one day said "hows the bike, still in one piece?" however, it was said without any humour, it was a completely genuine comment (reflecting their mentality about motorcycles). I did feel like saying "hip still working?".

Pulled into the local Shell, stayed on bike as i filled(brim it) Lid off as i enter the shop (hot day) and see an Asian bloke on the till, before i've a chance to say the pump No. he's quizzing me at rapid speed.
1st thing he says is 'So how come you got a small bike'? (ok i'm a strapping 5'11 ..but the 250 ain't that small. 'Its a superdream innit?' ..'Ahh yeah the CBRS..everyone wanted one of those..very light bike' he then went on about XR2i's and Capris Kin'ell after 5mins i had to butt in and make my excuses. He was either extremely bored/lonely or had a raging powder habit.

a cab driver asked me to move my bike away just after filling up.

- could you shift the bike a bit, so I can use the pump.
+who will pay for the petrol then?
-If you move it, I can fill up while you are paying.
+So, you want me to pay for your petrol?
-I will fill up for myself.
+.....?

Then I walked away without a word. Tottally speechless..
They should arrange an IQ test before giving the driving licences..

Story doesnt finish here.

Then I walked inside to pay, and a clever moped rider grabbed the fucking pump! Indian counterman grabbed the microphone quickly and yelled "PUT IT BACK!!!" "MOPED! PUT IT BACK!"

Ps: I pointed out that he was "Indian" because they really are scary when they are angry.

i think you can go and pay for your serving at a pump while the next person is using it. i'm pretty sure i've done it before.

I think it locks the price in when you put the nozzle back.

I stay sat down and put the bike on the side stand, as the cap is on the right hand side of the tank. I find if I put it on the centre stand the last little bit spills down the side of the tank.

Once I had a guy with a knackered Transit pickup full of a big pile of pushbikes (just chucked, not strapped down) who thought it would be a good idea to lean the diesel pump across my bike so he could fill his van up whilst I was paying. He spilt diesel on my tyres, wheels and brakes. I was very close to smacking him.
