Mobile phones and petrol pumps

[FluffyChicken]

Except the lady comes out and tells you not to fill the over the car and to use the correct pump. Then you're sat waiting for the same bloke parked up to actually pay for the petrol, so the nice lady triggers you to fill.

Never experienced that FC . A nice lady working at a filling station, or telling me not to fill up

I tend to hold the hose around the back of the car btw, not over the top of it.

Yeah it is as likely as a mobiler phone interfering with a planes navigation system.

If it were that easy, why bother hiding explosives in your shoes when all you need is a samsung.

Indeed, why not just hide a smartphone in your shoe? If only because, if the smartphone in question is the latest iPhone, that way it won't be obvious that you own an Apple product with the latest album from a bunch of over-rated tax dodgers loaded on to it.

Phones are sending and receiving data all the time, text messages, emails, people ringing you etc. surely it makes no difference if your talking on it or if it's in your pocket.

Great!

I can check my ebay watch list whilst waiting for the muppet in front to get his shopping/over priced coffee! Cool

Has that ever happened to anyone, I'd go spasmondo and drive off out of principle.

The pumps are type approved for filling both sides of the vehicle, sounds like you got some paranoid one day a week staff member or some like pikey Butler/Anglo/BFL service station attendant that knew all the hoses were perished and the pump shouldn't have been in use in the first place.

No I've never worked in a petrol station.

Re:

Just normal stations around here. Usual big name ones.

Yes, I've seen it at two of them.

The only one I think allows it officially is an asda one and has signs up to say they can be used both sides.
And of course you take it round the back, not actully over.

Re:

Use of mobile phones when filling is in the highway code. So it's out of the stations hands.

Odd what you find when you're looking for something else.
