Petrol Station Etiquette

[brucemillar]

I was stopped on the M6 by the Police.

Good morning Sir is this your vehicle?

Yes.

Do you usually pay for your fuel or do you always just fill up and drive off?

Oh holy sh*t.

We will escort you back to the services where you can you pay the nice lady.

I had filled up and gone into pay. Seeing a big queue I went to empty myself ready for the long journey ahead. Feeling suitably emptied I strolled out into the sunshine and drove off.

Nice policemen though. They thought it was hilarious. Apparently I don't look the type.

My dad did similar when moving house... He managed to fill up and drive off parked next to a Police Car also filling up He just forgot the paying bit, even though he had the petrol card in his pocket. Mr policeman visited the office and suggested he may like to pay...
