I cant say I frequent supermarket petrol stations often but out of interest what do you think she should have done?

If she moved her car to the non petrol parking spot then no one could use the pump until she had paid for her petrol anyway? In fact that would have infuriated someone even more trying to use an inactive pump.

Her only other alternative would be to pay for the petrol, then move the car, then go back in to do her shopping but no one in their right mind would do that.

As you say, those type of filling stations shouldn't exist!

The pumps where you put your card in the machine before filling up get around this nuisance. Bish, bash bosh etc.

People who have no control over their dogs and get upset when you web their dog.

I presume you're looking for a more nuanced answer than "Do your weekly shop in the proper supermarket, THEN stop for your petrol on the way out."

I'm with you on this one @chrismpw - nice to see you embracing sound, traditional Tory values.

People arguing at the petrol pumps while your sitting in a massive cue waiting to fill up.

I hope you chalked the end of it.

People who stand at hot air hand dryers moaning about them being rubbish. They're not, your technique is poor.

Somebody says "it goes without saying", and then proceed to say it.

Here in Brisbane you get fenced dedicated off lead dog parks...usually next to the general access park
I had a woman come in with her little kid and let him play around there, she then complained at me for not having my dog on the lead as my dog was a danger to her brat.
I asked her was she in the wrong bit by mistake and got...i'll go where I want and my child will play where he wants...(the little shight wanted to stroke the big doggy)...any more lip from me and she'd have the council on me for having a dangerous dog.
I gave up then and went home, it was that or lose it big style

It’d have been interesting to see what her defence would’ve been if she’d knowingly taken the kid in there and the kid got savaged !

Only just remembered from the weekend, but i was out in Liverpool and a homeless bloke came up asking for any change. I usually dont give them any, whether that makes me a stinge I dont know, anyway I give him £1.50 because that was all the change i had in my pocket and hes defo not getting a note.

The cheeky muppet said "is that it?"

Not a chance I'm giving any of them money anymore, bad cretin. Probably a RS.

Obvs. I would be guilty on any number of levels...age, race, gender, not having control of my dog. The fact that I was in an off lead park doesn't mean if somebody comes in, however misguidedly, they have a 'right' to be 'safe' from a german shepherd having a run around...you know how it spins nowadays, everybody's a victim and being a victim they have rights.
The only right they have is the right to 'koff out of my face.
...and breathe.
