I hate people that take there time 5 mins could mean on time delivery or a big fine for being late

Again, if you are that tight on a delivery slot, don’t stop for fuel. Proper prior planning prevents ■■■■ poor performance…

You can have left the yard with an hour to spair but if your hold up in trafic because some numpty spilt coffe all over him self and crashed it takes time up and for fuel I don’t like to let it get below 1/4 of a tank and sucking all the rubbish up

Good point, Rovic, its more serious now, he may well have been on route for a roast, and some ■■■■■ in a pink lorry called isabele has caused him to have it cold, not on is it.

31

I know Bob. Nice bloke.

32

Plus of cause bob may be on a promise! so that five minutes could mean everthing. if he was five minutes late, her old man may walk in on them … hows he to deliver hies load then !!! :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

33

looking at bob i doubt he was on a promise,only a promise from a liar.

34

I think some of the drivers on here will be clutching their chests ,if there like this because somebody dared to buy a coffee , whats the world coming to when you have to run in and out of a shop because the time Nazis are boiling red in there cabs. Something about that photo is odd .Why was Bob waiting for you to move of the pumps, when you are in a different lane and sat in your cab taking pictures of Bob :smiley:

Well i must admit that those people who dawdle about buying sweets and getting a coffee while others wait do iritate me. That 5 or 10 mins could mean home or not. Well done Bob :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I agree. Worst thing they ever did putting coffee shops in the fuel stations. Just encourages people to waste time and at the end of the day it’s not just 5 minutes is it? If they have 50 wagons a day in to fuel up and each driver spent 5 minutes waiting for a coffee then across the day that is 2hrs 10mins that the pumps have been out of use for. Times that by 3 pump(most services have more) and you’ve got 6.5 hours that the pumps have been out of action.

So next time you’re wanting a coffee either order it when you authorise your card or get a [zb] flask!!

I see your point, but your sums are wrong :unamused:

Because in the 5 minutes it took for me to get my coffee and back to my cab, Bob had been able to pull on to the adjacent pump rather than waiting behind me…which is rather the point I was making…his delay was ridiculously minimal but still he wanted to vent about it!

The day I get so annoyed at a 5 minute delay that I wish another driver dead is the day I will walk away from this job.

38

I don`t care what has been said…But I am with Bob and good on him for telling you, I usually have an outburst of tourettes when I see this…And thats when I am in the car!
Tell everyone what they need to know and how the world would be according to me, makes for lower blood pressure and anger directed and offloaded in the correct direction with immediacy :sunglasses: :laughing:

Power to Bob :sunglasses:

Lol…I love it that people have such important lives that 5 minutes causes them such distress!

Nice try convincing yourself that getting so wound up you have to vent is a healthy pastime!
