    What happens if you want to fill up and you think it'll be 50 so you prepay 50 but then it was 40

    I have no idea. Like I said, I don't do pre-pay. I'm a €300 per-month customer, and the clodhopper forecourt owner makes my morning more awkward and unproductive at his peril! :pac:

    If you keep missing it, I recommend a Barrett M82 with Zeiss optics. :D

    This pre-pay thing confuses me. I've never encountered it?

    Well, the two furthest pumps from the building in my current local petrol station have optional card paying features. I always use them. Saves me having to talk to anybody.

    Pre pay is grand when there's signs clearly stating it and you're not standing there like a dummy wondering why it doesnt work.

    Negative people. I know I'm grumpy, and I complain about everything, but in the real world, I get on with things and try keep the best side out, because I do think when you start off feeling like things will be **** then things WILL be ****. Being positive has been something I had to work at. But there's a girl at my new job who's constantly finding problems or things to be miserable about, and it's sapping the life and soul out of me. even on my days off she mails me on facebook about all the wrongs.

    It's not the pre-pay pump that's the issue, it's that some of the time the pump will be enabled even though the sign says pre-pay, other times it won't. The TA is trying to figure out when.

    People that say "himself" or "herself" to describe their partners. Drives me mental.

    Some poor fool, who knocked on front door, made the silly mistake of asking Mrs E if he could "speak to the boss".

    Poor fcuker:D

    I never know what to call "himself". Together 24 yrs, never married. Boyfriend sounds too teenagery, yet partner sounds a bit yee haw, ride em, cowboy. Mah pardner! I won't call him husband, as he isn't. So I usually resort to "himself". I know a couple who aren't married who refer to each other as husband/wife. That annoys me. I always feel like asking them when did they get married, and why wasn't I invited.

    It's alright, thanksfully she was driving what can only be described as a coke can on wheels so I managed to crawl past and use the pump in front. Hate to think of the obstructions she'd cause if they gave her anything bigger ;)

    Then you have the ones who don't seem to know how to park at a pump. They pull up out of reach of the pump, block access to two pumps in the process, sigh and grumble when asked to move and take an eternity to manoeuvre correctly to the pump. Come on! Some of us have lives to get on with!

    For some inexplicable reason, when queuing at a shop or supermarket, I have a habit of being in the queue behind someone who invariably takes forever and a day at the counter.

    Whether it's somebody trying to pay for €10 worth of items with copper coins, somebody handing over an entire book's worth of vouchers or just someone with the most awkward, time-consuming query known to man, chances are they'll be in front of me in the queue when all I want is to buy a bloody KitKat or a 2l carton of milk

    The Organic Cup. Gag.

    And then "51 bought".

    Gag x 51.

    And then "Grade A suitable for women under 30 who have not given birth vaginally. Grade B suitable for women who have given birth vaginally or are over 30"

    What exactly are the getting at? :mad::mad:

    Wahooing, i.e, the next door nightmares adult kids came back from Australia last night and it's been an almost endless fcuking stretch of fcuking wahooing and cheering and well-wishers. Grand if you can lie on your ass in bed all day, not so great if you're trying to sleep during the day since you're working on nightshift. Can only hope that they're back permanently and not on an extended Christmas break or it'll be a fcuking nightmare. Last night was bad enough and they've already started again.:mad:

    The increasing trend of businesses using unicode symbols like stars and smiley faces in email subject lines in a vain attempt to get my attention.

    This kind of thing "★ grundie, this offer expires in 2 days. Get it now!!! ☺"
