Came out to a nice full bag of KFC litter at the end of my road. Vermin.

The chav boy racers do this near us. Just open their door and they whatever greasy mess they've been eating straight out onto the beachfront even though there are bins 5m away.
What's even worse though is some new bungalows are being built on one of the fields next to the entrance to our road. The builders and tradesmen are dirty gits. Same thing, open door and just throw out whatever's in the van or car. Site manager in his defence put bins in but they're just too lazy to use them. One didn't appreciate it when I was out and picked up the half cup of coffee he'd just thrown out and put it back through his window.

How did he manage that? The diesel nozzle is wider and doesn't fit the petrol aperture I thought?

They’re Latvian, there’s many thing I don’t understand how or why they do it, this included. Sometimes best not to ask 
Yep I see this a lot of as well. Takaway left-overs just thrown out on to the roadside :/
They should be watching for this on the cameras and dishing out fines for that, instead of people who were unlucky to stop 0.5mm inside a box junction or drove 3ft down a bus lane.

Lorries on the a50 overtaking at 0.001mph faster than the other.
Hopefully it won't be long before that is banned during peak hours.

Write a formal complaint to the building company and cc the council.
They are fully entitled to do so though.
It's pretty rude though isn't it, which is the point in this thread.
I like to faff about after filling up, record the fill in my phone, etc etc. It's not hard to pull away from the pump and pull up at the side is it?
If there is actually a que, then yea it's a little inconsiderate.
Worse still, deciding to buy a Subway or do their weekly shopping before paying.

Worse....park in a filling space but go straight in to do a weekly shop and not get any petrol!
There is a Tesco express near here that you can fill up, I was once stuck behind this woman who never got fuel and just did her shopping, 3 bags worth. I almost went inside to look for her to get her to move her car.
It’s got so bad the station has now closed up and they are redesigning the layout.
I'll go you one better - pulled into a petrol station yesterday behind 2 guys in a ******* van without a brain cell to rub together between them.
They parked next to a pump and then proceeded to wander to the cash point, amble around the forecourt for a while and then decided this was a suitable place to park while they went to the nearby Starbucks!
No fuel was purchased and they didn't look to be in any rush! (The Starbucks had a massive car park that had plenty of space!)
What a pair of spanners!
What I find worse are the morons that pull up to 'pay-at-pumps and then go inside!
My local station has 12 pumps, 6 kiosk, 6 paypumps.
Almost always pumps 8 through 12 aren't being used except for the occasional LPGer.
Pumps 1 through 6 are card pumps yet there is a constant stream of morons that pull up, get fuel and walk in, delaying others who want to use the card pumps for their intended purposes.
I use the card pumps mostly because I will normally have my child with me and it saves me having to faf getting her out and back in holding up others.
What if the other pumps are busy and they don't want to use their card? The pumps at the Morrisons don't even say which are pay at pump ones until your at it.
I fill up at Costco these days when ever possible to avoid all these annoyances, loads quicker.

Just leave the kids in the car when you go pay, its easy.
Just for the love of god DO NOT lock the car. I live near a set of shops. Saturday, all day, people either leave the kids in the car or the dog, lock it and vanish into the shop. Without fail 1 minute later the alarm goes off. So they come out, press the button at it, it stops, return to shop. 1 minute later alarm goes off. I swear it's literally 2 dozen alarm soundings all day. I have been tempted to put up signs outside the shops.
