You can do a little bit to get yer own back...

When you get to the front of a queue in a busy filling station, just spend about 5 minutes putting your lid on the counter, taking your gloves off, fumbling around inside your leathers for your wallet, selecting which card to pay with, then decide you want to add a mars bar to the tab just as they start ringing up, then repeat the procedure in reverse, putting your receipt and card neatly back in your wallet....

You get the picture...you waste my time, I'll waste yours

Failing that, don't whatever you do just lay the dispenser on the floor before riding off to another petrol station ok,? LOL

Some peolpe sit on the bike while filling up, so that they can get a little extra in the tank.

TBH I always take my helmet off as it gives me a break, and I believe that it shows more respect for the staff, I take off my sungalsses for the same reason.

I have never found it a hassle
