Love the top right corner there...

"Do not use phone while refueling"

Right under a QR code 😂🤣

[-] chibah@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Worked at T-Mobile for like 5 years, you really don't know how plausible that kind of statement is.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Former VZW rep here. Not only is it plausible, it's a weekly occurrence.

My favorite was the guy who didn't want to switch to an unlimited calling plan because that plan didn't have free nights and weekends and friends and family calling.

Now I'm not sure if that will sound as stupid as it really was. Does anyone even remember getting billed for phone calls?

[-] digdug@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Since I don't have more than 10 friends or family that I call, it was more cost effective not to go unlimited.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

But both plans were the same price! At least in this guy's situation.

[-] anguo@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

You should have told him "this one has free calla every day of the week"

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 14 points 1 year ago

In my country, most station also come with a keypad just beside this screen, which you can set the exact amount you wanna pump

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Which country is that, and where is the fun in that?

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 4 points 1 year ago

Malaysia, and can confirm, we have no fun nor chill

[-] Mercury@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Canada also has that. Equally unfun and unchill.

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

Thank you for shopping with BP

[-] Crowfiend@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

TIL people don't regularly try for this. I always try to stop it at the dollar cause neurotic that way.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Pssh, that's a rookie game. I always try to stop on a palindrome.

[-] vale@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Admit it, you missed 10.00 and are convincing yourself that 10.01 is better.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It started that way, but now it's more like 54.45.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I got married on a palindrom 12/6/21

Better yet 1+2 is 3 and 3 two threes make 6.

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

I stop at the litre. They don’t give rewards points for partial litres so fuck ‘em, I only want $19.47 in gas.

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 9 points 1 year ago

In Canada you have to prepay and set the maximum amount of fuel you want, so this is "every time I dont set the max to more than my tank can hold" for me.

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

What happens if you overpay and can't fill up the full amount?

[-] Hedlosa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I would assume it stops and then you pay after whatever it stopped at

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

He said you have to prepay tho

[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

The few times I've prepaid cash in the US, you go to the attendant booth/inside the convenience store and they'll give you change.

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Duh, good point.

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Our gas pumps dont charge until the pump is stopped. The prepay is a ping on your account that basically reserves the funds after checking you have them, and then it let's you pump, and only withdraws what you use.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Man that is cheap, I did that maths to get your fuel price to be $1.74 Aud per litre assuming you're American and current exchange rates.

Where I am for petrol it's $2.11 a litre Aud

Or roughly $5.13 USD per gallon.

[-] Alimentar@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I think you mixed up the exchange because the USD is stronger than the AUD.

It's cheaper in Australia as depending on the fuel, your $2.11 would be their $1.35 USD

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

I missed the per gallon on the end.

2.11 for me to buy fuel in Australia with my money. Convert my fuel to gallons and usd it's $5 something per gallon

Still could have don't the maths wrong was just winging it

[-] Alimentar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Oh you're right yes, I wasn't converting it back to gallons!

[-] GombeenSysadmin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

In Ireland this is $20.74 worth of petrol.

2.943 US gallons is 11.14 litres. At €1.75 per litre, that’s €19.50.

Petrol hasn’t been under a euro in decades…

[-] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Where I am in the States, it is about the same as the price you stated. I think this person must be in Kentucky or somewhere in middle-America.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

It used to be so easy back when gas was only like 85 cents a gallon.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

Holy shit that's cheap, it's about double here

[-] Mkengine@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Here in Germany I currently would get 1.297 gallons for $10.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

That's also cheap, hence me driving to Germany for fuel. It's 20/30 eurocent higher per liter.

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Pfft. Rookie game. Pros stop at 3.000 gallons

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I love how gallons has three decimals now so it does not look like the price moves faster than the volume so much.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Then putting the pump back in the holster jostles it just enough to add a penny.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
