... and I notice this daft bint in a Corolla has queued up behind me to fill up.
She's pulled up about 1 foot away from my back bumper. The two pumps in front of my car are still in use, and there's only a small gap between the two cars filling up. So I whack The Beast into reverse to put the old reverse lights on to try to tell her "please back up, I can't get out forwards, if you let me reverse out you can go to the pump."
Nothing. She's just chatting with her mate, like "What's this joker trying to do? He can't reverse out, I'm sat here."
So I turn round in the drivers seat and give her a big exaggerated double-handed shrug and nod towards the cars infront, the two chaps *still* filling thier tanks. To sort of re-inforce the "I can't go anywhere until you shift" message.
Still nothing. She's looking at me like I've antenna coming out of my head.
I'm still seething about her stupidity.
SO I have to do an about a f**king fifteen point manouvre to get out of this little gap, past her and out of the filling station. A;; of which with the revs about 3,000rpm, just to make the point that I'm not very happy.
