Oh dear! And you get to smell diesel on your hands for ages after.
It's not something that's ever happened to me & I normally latch the trigger on when filling my Merc ..... look! No hands
I wear the rather fetching plastic gloves available at most forecourts.

No I tend not to bother - I may have to claim for a shoe??

I recall driving through Derby town centre in a cortege for my uncles funeral and it struck me that no one really batted an eye lid or gave a second glance, the only person to remove a hat was a poor homeless girl sitting on a doorway, that image has always stuck with me for some reason.

I'm at a straight to the Crematorium one tomorrow, should be 15 min's and away !
