I have my own forum but ban anyone who dares to challenge me. It's generally just me posting, but I like it that way.

If someone wants me to do a report or update a program and I don't feel like doing it I will send them back an e-mail saying I think their is a problem with the data/information they have given me. Buys me a bit of time. In today's case there actually was a problem with what was given to me but I have sent it back in the past knowing it is completely fine.

Once upon a time I looked at the keys. If you make a mistake you just reach for that big button to the top right and you move on. I can close my eyes and rtpe if I want too. It's just too easy.
I typed "rt" instead of "ty" such fail

When my mates are trying to have a serious conversation I push farts out to piss them off. I don't do this on purpose anymore as it's become habit, but I started not replying and just smiling to mates/family when they ask me a question or are trying to talk to me. My brother does it now, too. Pretty funny

I've always thought that would be the good bloke thing to do but I don't think I have ever seen anyone ever do it. They can't use your tank until you pay and the attendant resets the pump anyway...

lol nobody ****ing does this
if I see someone do this when im in the line, i'll probably just wait until they leave anyway so they know they wasted their time trying to please everyone
fill up your car, walk in, pay, drive away. Thats how its done people.

I have always wondered why I have never seen a petrol station with a credit card machine at the bowser. would save so much ****ing time. Obviously it's not particularly economical for them as they make a lot of money of impulse buys when people go inside.

As above these do exist.
What we need is fully automated servos.
Credit card operated bowsers and a whole heap of vending machines.
There are unmanned servo's about, I'd assume they'll become more widespread in the future.
And yeah Sainter93, I don't think anybody in the world moves forward to the parking spots after filling up. As mentioned, the pump is still disabled until you pay so all you're doing is saving a few seconds walk from the counter back to your car.

They are moving AWAY from unmanned stations because the profitability is severely impacted. The sale of drinks, cigarettes and everything else is where most petrol stations make money, the actual margins on petrol are in the range of 1-2c/L (for the retailer).

I move from the servo spot after I've filled up, and I'm almost certain they can start filling up before I pay. What if I decide to spend the next half an hour shopping?

I used one once somewhere between Burnie and Hobart, it felt like the middle of nowhere.
It's opposite in rural WA, they are moving towards unmanned stations in these tiny towns.
Reason is that the Feds introduced much stricter regulations on underground fuel tanks, have to get them tested every year etc and it has made it pretty uneconomical to run them. Was chattin to the bird who runs the roadhouse out at Bruce Rock a while ago and she said they made probably $14k-$15k profit a year selling fuel and the testing/certification was going to cost them $12k per year so they decided to stop selling fuel. They still offer food, general store stuff and accommodation but not fuel.
The unmanned ones are run by a bulk fuel company, don't require any staffing costs and can operate 24hrs at no extra cost (which is great if you're like me and get to Upper Goat****erup at 6pm and the only servo has closed, or its a Sunday, or if you're in Three Springs between 2pm and 5pm) so it's pretty much a win-win situation for most.
That said, I always buy from a proper roadhouse if that option is available, support the little guy.
