Morning Jog....

[Clouds_mate]

Morning y'all.

Got a funny story to tell about this morning...

I got up at 5.15, got dressed for work, looked a bit chilly outside so i put my big coat on (snowboarding coat) to walk to the car in. I arrived at the petrol station, put a full tank of juice in, pick up a paper and a bottle of Lucozade.
Get to the till, 'chip and pin out of order'......

Great, 'we can still swipe your card sir', 'seems to be a problem with your card sir, it wont swipe'

I only had this bankcard on me so nothing i could do,

'erm what do you want me to do like?'
'well they is a cash machine about half a mile down the road'
'no probs, give me a min'
'your not taking your car, it has to stay here'
'is that so?'

So there i am, ment to be in work in 20mins, 15mile from the office, Running to a fucking cash machine in a big jacket at 5.40am.

Surely it would of been a good idea to let people know on the pumps that it was only CASH ONLY??

I got back to the station and he was outside taking pictures of my car, like i was just going to leave a car and not pay him £38????

Anyway, so while you read with your breakfast just spare a moment for the poor guy running up and down the streets at stupid oclock.

thankyou lol

Ha ha ha can just see it now

Big beast running down the road in a puffa jacket ha ha ha

[jennifer1987]

lol, what an idiot couldn't they just have keep your wallet and watch or something that is what they normally do, what a git! :)

[Clouds_mate]

as much as it pissed me off at the time, looking back its proper funny lol

[vtr_driver]

I thought you meant Jog with a silent J...... I'll get my coat.... :lol:

[jennifer1987]

yeah is pretty funny, prop not so much at the time, would of like to see you running as fast as you can with a hugh coat on, lol

[Chris]

LOL... Nice one.

I hope you told him to delete the pics of your car from the camera whilst you was there?? Car ID Theft ahooy!!

Chris :)

[jennifer1987]

i hope he wasn't using his phone to take pictures, because he will get in trouble

[Clouds_mate]

Oh and another thing, I had to pay £2 to get money from the cash machine too. How gay.

Nah didnt say anothing about the pics just wanted to get to work i was late lol

[leeroybrown]

I be pi**ed off me

Having to run at 5.30 in the morning is never good

Been charged £2 to take some money out would be the icing on the cake

I'd be spinebustering the petrol shop staff :homme:

[Scattle]

Haha, brilliant, wouldn't be happy with that, bit annoying having to pay £2 for using the cash machine. Happened to me once luckily there was a cash machine at the petrol garage, bit wierd about the pictures though.

[jennifer1987]

i would like to know why he would of been taking pictures, there are cameras in petrol stations he wouldn't of needed to take any... thats so annoying when they charge you to take your own money out, don't we pay enough tax and stuff already

[Clouds_mate]

where i work is very close to a retail park, on there all the cash machines you have to pay £2 to draw any cash out. Think its bit of a joke.

[Scattle]

£2 is a bit ott, even services on Motorways and around my way, the max you pay at an atm for using it is about £1.50 most times less.

[Kelly]

I'm sure this has happened to Ash before where he's gone to pay and they don't accept Visa Electron and the cash machine was out of order. They just took his reg plate and description of car until he came back to pay. You don't pay they report you to the police.

I'd be ringing up and asking why you weren't given the option cos running that distance in a morning is ridiculous to say the least. If it was me I'd be speaking to a manager before I even thought about walking/running because I'm just a lazy git

[AdamW]

Jog on Mr Leckie

[Robb]

haha legend.

5.15 ouch. if i saw someone like you running would have definetly beeped and sworn.

[Clouds_mate]

like me? what you trying to say Rubbertoe?

[Jamie]

Lol! fook that one! Should have said matey il kick you in the nuts im only going up the road im on cctv ectooo.

Quite funny though wish i was driving past you lolll 'hey matey want a lift' then just drive off :P

[Jacko]

done this myself once...only i had no wallet at all...gave the fella my adress and car details...drove a good 15 miles home to get my wallet and drive back...was no problem with me taking my car....fella said it happens all the time..sucked at the time though.

[Jaytee]

really they shouldnt hzve made you walk to the cash machine or jog lol, they should have just got you to fill in a no means of payment form, this will give you 7 days to pay the petrol before your details are given to the police.

[Ruddy]

Ive done that before with no cash but i just drove off and came back with the cash............ Woman was fine about it. Face doesnt fit mate haha.

*E-Beef with my dad last night Leckie sorry*

[Agent-VIP]

Jogging at 5:40? Nonono..

Waking up before 10am..? nono

Nice little read though =D

[Quick]

Write a complaint letter to the Petrol Stations HQ!

WHSmith mate;)

This actually happened to me once except there wasn't a problem with my card - unless you count having no money in my account as a card problem!

It was about 3 years ago when the banks had a big problem paying in peoples wages on time and my account was empty due to an overstretched holiday earlier that month!

Had to ring a mate to bring me some cash. That was fun:err:

[saxodan]

what sort of garage was it!

You were under every legal obligation to walk away, you have the right to a hand written reciept and they do a manual copy of your card, they should have your reg and car on cctv anyway and they should have made you fill out an indebtness form and you pay it within a week.

Fools

[al_VTR]

Very funny story Leckie, i wouldn't have been to impressed at that time in the morning tbh.

really they shouldnt hzve made you walk to the cash machine or jog lol, they should have just got you to fill in a no means of payment form, this will give you 7 days to pay the petrol before your details are given to the police.
That's what my old man had to do when he took the wrong bank card with him a few months ago. I had to laugh at him when he got back, would've been rude not to.

[Tupps]

That i would pay to see....

Leckie giving it big licks down the road in a massive jacket ahahaha!

[Hanuman]

i rekon he lied and just wanted to see you suffer!!

as said you leave something as a depo provided you dont turn up lookn like a polish imigrant in a bannnnged up car ur hardly gonna run off with 38quid
