F-ing Gas Pump operator - yea it was me!
« on: May 30, 2009, 08:59:57 AM »
On my way into work this morning and it was a perfect ride.  I was early so I thought I may as well fill up the Deuce.  So I pull in to the Shell station and start filling up and for some reason the pump just did not seem to kick in.  So like a dumb a s s.  I take the nozzle out a little and wouldn't you know it.  WHOOSH!!!  :soapbox:  All over every thing.  Man I was pissed.  I think everyone new I was pissed.  So cleaned the bike the best I could with some bottled water and a little hand-soap.  It's fine and I will clean her up a little better when I get home and I guess it could be a lot worse.  So anyway there is rant!  Moral of the story don't be a dumb a s s.   :confused5:

Just be happy you didn't pull it out and turn it around to look down the nozzle.  Now that could really screw up a person's entire day.

Don't feel too bad, you're not the first or the only person to do this.  Some pump nozzles are very sensitive and will keep shutting off when filling a bike, so you have to hold the nozzle almost completely out of the actual filler neck.  I "gas washed" my tank and engine once when I sneezed while trying to use such a nozzle.

Why is it that I never seem to succeed the first time, unless I screwed up?
