How does everyone wait while filling up the tank at the gas station?? I usually am cleaning my windows or checking engine stuff meanwhile.

lean up against the side of the car and chill, watch the gallons and cash meeters skyrocket

wash windows or lean up on the side of my car and listen to music.

watch traffic and take a few quiet moments to myself. (usually three or more kids in the truck) or play slugbug with my kids.

Post by **vicki** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 1:43 pm

it depends.

If it's nice I stand outside, if not I sit inside.

Oops misread the thread.

I usually just listen to music or watch the cars passing.

I wash the windows and lean on my car also, but never listen to the radio. Always though that listening to the radio might ignite something since you're fiiling up with gas. The tiniest spark can ignite the gas with the right outside conditions. Static and cellphones can also be a factor.

my car shocks me every once in a while, maybe she's pissed off at me?

Post by **NICOmom** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 1:50 pm

Post by **MainEvent212** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 1:52 pm

Someone didn't watch mythbusters.

But the rest of the post is accurate.

editas I re-read my post, I sound like an a-hole.

lol ive maybe filled my tank all the way once or twice.

Post by **navysnail** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 3:32 pm

as long as you ground yourself, your good

one thing that myth busters didnt cover, is pressing buttons while in the environment of gas, every time an electrical conection is made, no mater how small, there is a spark

I stand outside and hold the handle and lean up against the car, makes me feel really cool and like I'm in 1986.

Post by **Onizuka** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 3:54 pm

im usually sweaty and make lots of groaning noises.... wait whats the question again?

Post by **MainEvent212** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 3:59 pm

yeah i usually lean against the car w/ my elbow on the rear 1/4 panel and trunk area and hold the pump backwards so i can still check out the ladies as im filling up

then 45 dollars later i realize i'm filling up my rear wheel with gas

Post by **dr!ft** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 4:01 pm

When I'm filling up the tank, I'm usually in the backseat making sweet bouncy-bouncy with some fine lady.

Post by **MainEvent212** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 4:04 pm

dude that sucks

it usually only takes me about 2-3 mins to fill my tank

Post by **navysnail** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 4:06 pm

you sound exactly like those guys from dumb and dumber

Post by **rousie13** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 4:25 pm

I just stand there and watch the dollar thing spin and spin.

I haven't put gas in my truck in 4 weeks and I still have 3/4 of a tank.

Post by **Rockenreno** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 5:06 pm

lean against the quarter panel and watch my bank account empty... sometimes I wash the windows too

I'm a control freak. I stand outside the whole time with my finger hovering over the trigger. I'm against using electronics while fueling or the risk of static electricity, so I keep the radio off and never enter the vehicle. And the cell phone and PDA stay in the car.

I saw a video of a girl in a sweater with a jeep. She got out, put the nozzle in, got back in the car, got out, grabbed the nozzle and set a fire. She pulled it out (wisely) and left it on the pavement and ran inside to alert the clerk.

I usually sit in my car, cause New Jersey is full service.. ;-)

Post by **crzycav86** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 5:22 pm

I stand outside with it.

There was this one time during the winter, I was filling up my mom's car, and it was freezing cold. I wasn't dressed for the chilly winds, so I wussed out and sat in the car.

I stand outside and watch the ladies stare
