United Kingdom 2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Keswick Green
I had a good one yesterday in Banbury. There was a woman in an MPV indicating right to turn into a petrol station which was already rammed with cars, but they weren't quite queueing into the main road. There was still traffic passing towards us so we waited for them to pass. When they did, she proceeded to sit in the lane, blocking anyone from passing her, apparently waiting for the cars in the forecourt to move! I gave her a toot to shift out the way and she looked at me daggers! Thing is, there was space for her to get into the forecourt...selfish person! I have seen a few garages rammed with cars recently, thankfully I don't need much fuel and won't get anymore until well into next week, even then I won't need very much.

I came across a similar situation yesterday where I wanted fuel but to enter I would have blocked the road as a lorry was waiting in the entrance so I carried on past and came back half hour later in the opposite direction and went straight in. Simple

Aye mate, but that took common sense, something few people seem to have these days. Confused
