Rant number 313
Incompetence has been a bit of a running theme today - for reasons I shall go into later on.
One particularly thing however has irritated me not once - but twice this week, and it completely perplexes me!
On the average week - I do at least 150 miles in my small car. As such, I get through a fair amount of juice. Because of this, I don't put £10's or £5s in at a time - because that's pointless and it only last a few days. As such - I try and fill up once a week - usually on the way back from band.
I live round the corner from a Shell garage - which is pretty handy. I find that the petrol there seems to last reasonably well (and I do find that this varies from garage to garage. Never go to Total garages! That stuff is like fairy liquid I swear!) and I get points (to earn vouchers eventually - like once a year.)
The garage is on one of the main routes in and out of Huddersfield and is popular with commuters, taxi drivers and the like.
On Monday, on the way back from band - I saw my needle hovering low - so decided to get some fuel.
But I couldn't - because they didn't have any.
This then meant I had to drive an extra mile round trip to pop a tenner in to keep the car ticking over till today.
(When I can't fill up you see - I tend to try and get some after the next band rehearsal. This is when its quiet and means I don't have to go out of my way.)
Except for once again - there was no fucking petrol - meaning that I had to go back where I had come from - to get some petrol from another garage.
I don't understand it! How the fuck can a popular garage - run by one of the richest and most powerful companies in the world keep running out of fuel. I mean - has there been some kind of Shell exclusive shortage?
More likely - some cock end forgot to order it. How disgustingly incompetent!
Rant over.
