it is fair enough for people to ask for patience when filling up, or at traffic lights or . . . .
from the other side of the coin, if people had respect for others and actually tried to not hinder everyone else, then patience might be shown on more occasions

people only care about their own situation - as long as they do not have to wait,that is fine - but if they are the ones waiting, there is a problem. if people actually tried to not hinder everyone else, then the patience and tolerance level of many people would rise. unfortunately there are precious few people in the world that have ever been wrong, so that will never happen. it is just too easy to blame someone else for doing the same thing they do

And if i wasnt there next to the airline i would be blocking a fuel pump while cleaning my window....??? I wasnt hindering anyone.... I just put air in the tyres which is why i was there.... No one was around, I cleaned half my window, walked to the other side of the car and saw the car pull up.
Took 30secs as i said... put the squeedgee back and got to my door, and got abused because I was blocking the air!

So where should i go to clean my window? go home? go across the road?

Dunno... maybe i wasnt clear...? But lets turn it into a another contest...

can you read - if so try the first line about not commenting on your particular situation. going by your response though, i would start to consider the other guy may have been right

it must be another contest or otherwise you would not have created another worthless thread. the problem is your competitor is most likely excluded from your contest, so you win. congratulations

Anyway I normally just go late at night, don't have to deal with anyone and can take my time if required.

A BIZARRE road rage incident has ended with the alleged agressor in hospital after he was stabbed and beaten by two bystanders at a shopping centre in Hoppers Crossing.

It started with a stand-off between two drivers. A 58-year-old female driver trying to exit the car park through the entry stopped a 40-year-old man who was trying to drive in the entrance at the Woodville Park shopping centre.

Neither driver would reverse and stayed jamming the entry for about 20 minutes until the man drove forward and rammed the woman's car.

The woman had got out of her car shortly before the collision and was struck as he rammed into her car.

Two other men confronted the man in his car, smashed his windows and stabbed and beat him several times with a golf club.

The attackers - believed to be in their 20s and of an Islander appearance - fled the scene before police arrived.

The man was taken to the Royal Melbourne hospital in a serious but stable condition and the woman was in a stable condition in the Alfred Hospital.
