"You not shake your **** when finished peeing?"

Came here to say the same. It's just standard urinal/pump practice to prevent unwanted dribbles in places others can see.

EDIT: how do I get quote functionality etc back in the editor? I thought if I posted then edit it came back, but apparently not.

“No, but some of our customers claim a meal allowance from work and have to show receipts. You. Sarky. Oversized. Feline. Get the **** out of my chippy, you’re barred”!

Your chips are crap anyway.  I'm only here because you're three doors away and I'm too bone idle to walk 5 minutes into town to go to the good one.

Except the valve is clearly in the trigger mechanism and waving the pipe around does not make a jot of difference.

which bolsters my point further.... doing anything other than leaving it for a second or two, then extracting the nozzle, albeit with a twist of the wrist to stop any drips (if you so wish), rather than playing the pan pipes with your filler neck.

for me, 26 years of driving. never wangled the pump. not sure i ever remember excess fuel coming out. i guess we arent all built the same.

and whilst i do give the old boy a shake after a pee, i dont slam it against the urinal multiple times whilst doing so.

At the petrol pump . No . Release trigger . Wait 3 seconds for the drips to leave the nozzle. Remove nozzle and replace in pump.

Xinxiangphobia:

I received an update from eBay…‘your package has been delivered successfully’.

nothing in my hallway, so I stepped outside to find this:

https://flic.kr/p/2pQ7nHT

it could have easily been posted through my letterbox😂😂😣

nothing on the receiving side of the letterbox but a grumpy old twit.

Is this disproportionate?

The chap who wasn't putting the "west" into country and western just now when he flung his car door open and almost took me out at the bollocks, having parked up on the pavement leaving a passing space of about a foot.  On double yellows.  Facing into oncoming traffic.  About 20 yards from a free car park.

Eco warriors. The vast majority are massive hypocrites who seem to think that they are exempt from causes of pollution. For example jso using oil based products to say we shouldn’t use oil.

youre joking obviously. it would be absured to suggest that someone couldnt try and influence the prevelance of private transport use if they stepped on a road to get there.

or the strip mining of the congo if they own a 10 year old nokia.

Nope. I’m not joking. They should set the example and not wear oil based clothes and use oil based products for their protests. If they think that we don’t need oil then they should lead the way and prove it not tell everyone else what they should do but won’t do themselves

Thieving gits.
Why should everything I own and work to own have to be locked up? Then spend more money alarming the stuff I have locked up. Then spend more money on the system to monitor the alarm, which detects if the locked up stuff is being cut through in 30s by a £100 grinder?

Staying with the car theme:

People who don’t realise that the pump can, wait for it, actually reach the other side of the car. You can use the pumps that are on the opposite side to where your access is!

Really petty, people who don’t use pay at pump when they could. Then come back and **** about for five minutes before leaving.

The utterly despicable human beings who indicate right when leaving a round about. Left, you are always exiting to the left. You absolute bastards. I don’t even care if what they are doing is technically correct. It just annoys me for no reason.

Hosepipes.  When they kink when you try to wind them back into the reel and you have to untwist the whole length to straighten them out. Fuming. Or when a loop of hose catches the tyre of your car when you are washing it and jams solid.  Same holding strength as a rock climbers lock.

Small thing, but infuriating.

Sunglasses. Sunglasses that give the bridge of my nose third degree burns. Because it's been so long since I've needed them, I've forgotten they heat to 1000°C  in the sunglass holder in the car.

By the same token, those who indicate right when they're actually going straight on. F***wits.

That said, lack of any indication at all, especiallt when going left or right, boils my wee even more

I really want to retire to France for a few years but every so often catch a program on TV (diy chateau for example) and every person seems to be a brit and all the people that appear are British and the customers and visitors are British. Puts me right off.

I was told there are ice creams on the freezer. I was looking forward to a nice post-meal cup of tea and a magnum (or similar). I opened the freezer to find Fruit Pastille ice lollies. Unacceptable.

No don't tell them, It's saved me having to wait for a pump as they can't possibly work it out despite seeing many of us do it?

Going to take issue with this one a bit.

1 - not always. Usually yes, and I filled up with great glee the other day when there was a queue of 4 cars waiting for the right hand pumps. I went to the empty left hand pumps, pulled the hose over the car and was out of there before the queue had hardly moved. Idiots. BUT my point is that this doesn't work at every station, some have stupid short hoses and filling on the other side involves parking 1cm from the pump, finding the optimal hose route and then using the nozzle upside down. Grr.

2 - how do you know if they can pay at pump? For example, the card I usually use for filling up isn't accepted at the pumps because the payment hold thingy doesn't work with it, so I have to go to the cashier where it works like a normal card.

3 - Is it ever technically correct to indicate right when leaving a roundabout? That's stupid. Oh, mini ones I guess. Ok.

those who indicate right when they’re actually going straight on. Fwits.

This. Especially at mini roundabouts. Confusing and indescribably annoying.

Similarly, people who think that a petrol station is the ideal place to do a monthly shop, whilst their car's still at the pump.

It's not correct. Turning right at a roundabout, you indicate right as you approach / go around, then indicate left as you pass the exit before the one you want.

Hosepipes

I was halfway through pressure-washing the yard yesterday when the hosepipe spontaneously snapped itself in two. I currently have a half-grey half-green yard, I wish I'd left the bastarding thing a uniform colour.

every so often catch a program on TV (diy chateau for example) and every person seems to be a brit

They're always pretentious hateful bastards too. "Margot and Terrance have £950,000 to spend on a holiday retreat," then they'll cut to a pair of middle-class ****s, she's pulling her face because the balcony is the wrong shade of terracotta and he's making an offer and then haggling over the sake of fifteen quid. The only good part of these shows is you get to see all the entitled gammons who are leaving the country.

Drivers who think they’re doing others a favour when they try to upend priority on the roads and how there’s so often a massive gap behind them that they’ve now instead filled with their stupid ****ing headlight morse code and simpering petty anarchy.

Yeah, that caused an argument.

I have a glass chopping board.  It's not actually a chopping board, it's a readily wipe-clean-able surface and as such it's quite useful.  I can hear the distinctive 'crack' from low Earth orbit when my OH takes my good kitchen knife to it that I spent literally an afternoon honing an edge on just two days ago.

I've no issue with this IF they give you some notion that they're doing it.  It's great that you've slowed to a crawl to generously let me pull out or to walk across the road, but if you're just going to randomly grind to a halt with no other discernible indication as to your intentions then it'd be far better for all parties concerned if you'd just ****ed off out of the way instead.

I've found they get disproportionately cross when I decide I'm not going to accept their invitation and pretend to have not seen them - in the hope they'll abandon the notion of letting me pull out on my bike - because I'm not ready, and/or I'd rather not pull out with all those cars behind you thank you. Actually this happened to me when I was driving too, they look so angry because I'd rather wait!

Men who mince about with small suitcases on wheels like some ghastly version of Paris Hilton, exacerbated by cobbled or roughly paved surfaces. Proper men should be compelled to carry either battered rucsacs or large rectangular suitcases with no wheels and reinforced corners.

I was rubbish at bbq's until a friend gave me 3 tips:

1) use one of those chimney thingys to get the briquettes going .. idiot proof

2) use Flamers to light the coals in the chimney thingy ..  idiot proof

3) only use Weber bbq briquettes and keep them sealed in the bag they come in to keep the briquettes dry X

The self seal on the Weber bag is so finnicky it takes longer to reseal 🤐 than setting up the bbq, cooking and clearing up after.. .. great idea ... rubbish design
