As some of you know I'm moving from New South Wales to South Australia, and today I basically had to pay to fill the car up with fuel due to the fact that it actually works out cheaper for me to drive rather than fly (it does.). Anyway, it's a very small car and it only cost $25 to fill, I went into the petrol station where I was confronted with a strange looking Italian man, Mario-like. He ranted on about something I could understand but chose not to. So I paid for my fuel, and bought a bottle of Pepsi bringing the total to $27. I paid for this with a $50 note and recieved $52 change... net profit: $2, $27 worth of free fuel and a bottle of Pepsi. Possibly the greatest petrol station in the World, they pay you to use it!.... seemingly. I wont be going back there for a while though

I wonder what the Italian man actually said.
Possible candidates:
- "Sir, i dump dead body in your boot of car, you have free fuel plus 2 dollar. Take it away!"
- "I've already stolen 27 dollar from you, but feel bad, here."
- "Take this money and accept my mission, okay... go get me some fish... if you don't come back i kill you."

indeed that was a hidden camera to see if people like you were cupid. now give back the money
Fri Jul 09, 2004 7:21 pm
yea, that was a candid camera joke, you just got out before they did the joke on you

Heh, if that place had anything that looked remotely like it was made within the last 10 years i'd be surprised... they'd spot a camera, as it would be the only clean part of the building.

that worked out pretty good. Good luck with the trip, and all the things that come along with the move

I think this might signal the coming of the apocalypse. A NSW petrol station not ripping someone off? Madness...
