OK, this wasn't so much sucky, more just plain stupid.
I went over to the petrol station (gas station) and filled up. Once I was done, I went over to the single sliding door. Now, like most sliding doors, they are pressure activated when you step on a certain point. This one is more sensitive than most, meaning that if you step too close the door won't open.
Well, some lady did just that. Then she saw the button located next to the door. The button? "Emergency Fuel Stop".
I think you can guess where this is going.....
Yep, she pushed the button once, thinking it would open the door. Then again. Then yet again. She pressed it about four or five times, then stepped back. Finally the door opened.
Once we were both inside, she paid, then just as she was leaving, one of the employees announced "I think someone hit the emergency fuel stop button."
The lady turned bright red and left. I quietly mentioned that it was the lady he'd just served to the guy behind the counter. He got a good chuckle out of it.
Luckily the fuel pumps were working once I left.
(Some petrol stations here DO have pre-pay pumps, not all of them do)
