Love the top right corner there...

"Do not use phone while refueling"

Right under a QR code 😂🤣

[-] chibah@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months 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 6 months 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 6 months 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 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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

[-] anguo@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 14 points 6 months 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 6 months ago

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

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 4 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Mercury@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Canada also has that. Equally unfun and unchill.

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 13 points 6 months ago

Thank you for shopping with BP

[-] Crowfiend@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months 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 6 months ago

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

[-] vale@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 1 points 6 months 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 6 months 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 6 months 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 6 months ago

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

[-] Hedlosa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

He said you have to prepay tho

[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 months 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 6 months ago

Duh, good point.

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 6 months 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 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months 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 6 months 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 6 months 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 6 months ago

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

[-] GombeenSysadmin@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months 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 6 months 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 6 months ago

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

[-] GreenPlasticSushiGrass@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago
[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Pfft. Rookie game. Pros stop at 3.000 gallons

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Mkengine@feddit.de 5 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago

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

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 3 points 6 months ago

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

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.
