he might have to wait a while XD
Bat up the ass
Swing-bata-bata-bata-swing
Where is Fuzz?
he’s pumping it, dude.
in the butt
i’m crying! this is great! funniest crap i’ve ever heard from a group of people.
This isn’t necessarily a fail. Sometimes they put those things up and they ARE NOT out of gas. All the pumps are hooked up to the same tank, so if one pump is out then they should all be. If you ever go to a gas station where one pump is out but the other one isn’t… yeah.
The pump itself can be broken moron. Gas doesn’t magically flow uphill out of that hose.
thank you! i work at a gas station and you wouldn’t believe the moronic things customers say about gas prices, the pumps, and every other possible thing we have.
my absolute favorite is the people who disregard the “it is against federal law to” posters on every stinkin’ pump, and get mad when we stop the pump.
no, your 5 year old cannot pump your gas.
no, you can’t pump kerosene into that milk jug.
yes, you do have to put that cigarette out.
yes, you do have to pay for all that gas all over the side of your car and in that big puddle on the ground under it. it says right on the pump not to leave it unattended. you’re lucky the fire department doesn’t charge you for the time they spend cleaning it up.
From a person who works in a mall, you have my profoundest sympathy.
for a person who does laundry, i sympathize you?
So you reserve your gas to people of certain ages? TIMIST!
Your right, it could be broken… It might pump, but not charge! If that’s the case: Free Gas Win!
True. I have pulled up to *many* a pump with s sign/bag over the 87-octane nozzle that pumped mid-grade and premium just fine.
Tsk! That’s out of order.
Shall I order it with the menu then?
“Waiter! One gas pump and a burning cigar for the guy at pump four please”
⋮
*BOOOM*
⋮
“Teheheee…”
P.S.: Oh yeah! My keyboard can do vertical ellipses!
For those of us who have ever thrown lit matches down the sounding tubes, I have to say that you are just fear-mongering with o real understanding.
Maybe you watched too many Hollywood explosions?
Remind me to never pull up to the pump while you’re there. *Walks away from Hollywood-like explosion.*
Aren’t those things usually locked into place if its broken/not in use? How did he break the lock?!?
I don’t think they’re locked in place but he’ll be waiting a very, very long time for fuel.
“3 hours later, Bob couldn’t figure out why it was taking so long for a few gallons of gas…”
Actually, no. They only put “out of order” bags on the spouts that are out of order; however, the pump as a whole may still be functional.
I think the fail here is that the cell phone is in operation while pumping, which is not considered a gas-station “best practice.”
Actually, the cell phone thing is a myth.
Myth Busted!
Yeah, I saw that episode too.
munch is right, we don’t like it when you talk on the phone while fueling.
it is a myth that cell phone use will blow up your car, but it’s still not good practice. people on cell phones are not paying attention to what they are doing. they often over-pump and gas goes all over the place, or they only have a ten with them, but -oops!- they just pumped 27 dollars worth of gas. it happens all the time.
Given the automatic cut-offs, I don’t see that happening with any pump installed in the last 30 years or so.
If you look, you can see the yellow out-of-order bag over the spout he’s using.
Could happen to anyone, right?
Not me.
Not often to those with sight and ability to read, let alone the ability to feel the plastic bag on the handle.
only to a graduate of this country’s homeschooling system.
Actually, that’s not fair. I’ve seen many graduates of homeschooling, and numerous graduates of government schooling. The former folk seem VASTLY superior at critical thinking skills than the latter.
I heartily agree, there are too many studies that show homeschooled children educationally outperform public schooled children by such a large margin, it’s laughable to think anyone could look at them as inferior; if they were in public school, there’y have to draw straws to see who’d be valedictorian.
Besides, most of the homeschoolers I’ve met actually do something worthwhile with their lives, not turn into hipster, SUV-driving, earphone-wearing douchebags who couldn’t find their way out of a plastic bag.
Okay, I so totally typed, “they’d” in the last sentence of the first paragraph. Second time today I’ve seen my comment content change from what I typed. I figured the first time I just missed it, but I was watching for changes this time, and sure enough.
And here we have a fine example of the results of a public school education, folks.
Wow.
Really?
No, Not really
O’Reily?
O RLY
He fail English?
Or the gas-pump is repaired and the shields even not removed.
CAILVAIFAILFAILFAIL
In Soviet Russia, gas fills you
ok, im really getting sick of that joke every single picture
In Soviet Russia, joke gets sick of YOU!
in you, sick gets joke of soviet russia.
No country was ever called “Soviet Russia”. Just sayin’.
It does scan better than USSR. I’d say it was allowable, as long as he has a valid licence … poetic, that is.
There is no country called America, but we say “In America” right?
I see somebody is wearing thier stars and sripes do-rag.
Russia is a noun; “soviet” an the adjective, like “capitalist” and “free”.
ok, that one actually made me laugh
seriously?
Yes! :[
Possibly :l
absolutely!
i dont get it. In soviet russia, gas stations look completely different, so i cant see whats wrong here…
I know how you feel. What are those yellow things???
They’re winter jackets to keep the hose warm, you wouldn’t want lumps of frozen petrol clogging up your engine.
Though, this guy must be a northerner, it’s -60 centigrade and he’s not even wearing a coat.
i heard that when its minus 60 centigrades and you inhale with your mouth, your teeth crackle and fall apart. Luckilly, its only gets that cold in vast polar areas. But mabe it was really – 60 centigrades at that gas station and the guy just froze onto the pump
What you heard is wrong. I’ve read a blog about people who actually were at tho south pole and were outside at 78°C! That’s *way* over 100 with the windchill effect down there.
You can read all about it. It’s actually pretty impressive. They wear *at least* 3 jackets and face masks. And when you go outside without the masks, it’s like a hard slap in the face, nearly throwing you over. And the water in your breath crystallizes in the air and makes beautiful crackling noises, before falling to the ground. Remember that that’s all while there is no sunrise fro *months*!
Nice place, isn’t it? ^^
Oops, I meant MINUS 78°C (degrees Celsius)!
Ah, well since you read it on the internet, it must be true.
So everything on the interwebz is a lie?
I think not.
But he is wearing a long-sleeved jumper, Jam. Probably from south of Catterick, I’d say.
Yes, you could be right. The amount of clothes worn in any given season is directly proportional to how far south you are.
looks like bruce!
glory days
in a gas pumpers mind
glory days
pumping my behind
glory da aye ee ayes!
The Yellow-Thing says, that the gas-station is out of order, so unusable….
*squints eyes*
*adjusts brightness and contrast of prehistoric monitor*
*reads the letters*
It was there all the time for me to read!
The Yellow-Thing says. . .
“Raaaaaaaaaaaagh, I am the custard of doom, I shall annihilate your puny vehicle silly people-type man. NOMNOMNOM”
Time for a Darwin Award
Nope? He still can reproduce, and I can’t see anything indicating he might lose that soon. You know: In our “culture”, the dumber you are, the more support you get. Scientists call it anti-evolution. Layman call it “being social”. So that guy there, from seeing how dumb it is what he does, is likely someone rich who is in power. And everyone will support him being retarded. Instead of killing him right there for his idiocy, like in the good old times.
The Idiocracy is not coming in 500 years. It’s already there!
well give him a cigar and then a Darwin
Even if it was lit, it would make no difference. The gas is not coming out any time soon! No Darwin here!
and a match and some fumes.
Gas fight!
Yeah zoolander was a good movie.
Flame war!
Damn, that works out to ∞ dollars a gallon.
think of all the dough he’s saving.
What a dumbass
I’m not doing this again!
I thought you loved doing ass?
*bums you*
As long as you’re not wearing the ‘thing’ from the next fail, I’ll let you.
*squeeze*
What do you mean you’ll let me? I already did it! :p
*quickly hides giant, sparkly strap on*
I could have cheated and said it was actually a decoy marshmallow after the fact.
I’d never have fallen for it. You’ve a distinct looking, squishy, mallow ass. That means you’re a smartass.
*squeeze*
*swaffles you with giant, sparkly strap on*
Eep!
*thwipples your armpit with floppy, sparkly, ET finger*
*attacks you with a used rubber fist*
*fapfapfap*
*shoves beads from a pink kid’s bracelet into ALL of your cracks*
*ploopploopploop*
*makes a balloon menagerie with his picnic supplies and sets them on you*
Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
*makes a pirate cutlass with my back to school supplies and deads your picnic supply menagarie*
Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Did they die?
*cries*
They did die but it’s OK. We’ve still got the giant, sparkly elephant.
*tickletickle*
This conversation is missing a feather. *looks for feathers*
you are so going to get dusted.
whatdo you expect, he’s like one part robot three parts asshole wearing his stupid d-bag bluetooth headset.
The real fail is that he works there pumping gas.
I thought the real fail is that he didn’t see the huge yellow thingy attached to his wheel.
I thought the real fail was me scrolling back up to the picture after reading the above comment.
had someone not stolen his thing shown in the next fail, he’d be pumping something else.
i work at a gas station. i do not consider myself to be a failure, nor do i consider any of my co-workers or the thousands of other gas station attendants in this country (or anywhere else) to be such.
and don’t try to play it off as a joke about the fact that he works there and still can’t figure out what the yellow bag means, because we both know that’s not what you were going for.
the real fail is you being an elitist ass. maybe you aren’t an elitist ass most of the time, i don’t know you, but your comment is a fail.
Theres the problem, the bluetooth attatched to his head. Its sucking out the intelligence.
i was wondering what that weird blinking thing attatched to my neighbour was…
No, its an alien! Go kill the thing and save your neighbor. They’ll be mad at first, but deep inside, they’ll know you saved them!
super lolz
Maybe he didn’t heard the yellow thingy screaming, “I’m out of order! I’m out of order!”
I dunno, I think the pump his this fail covered.
I dunno, I think the grammar you this fail epic.
My dad fixes petrol pumps, and he says you wouldn’t believe how many people fail at reading the ‘out of order’ signs
Cheap gas WIN!
0.00 $ on the bill!
Cheap gas Fail!
Nothing in his gas tank.
No win, no fee.
suge pula
Nothing fail here TBH.
At least in Australia there were petrol stations reported that were advertising low cost regular fuel, then tagging out all of the fuel pumps as broken, except one or two.
So until people realised that the ‘broken’ pumps actually worked they either queued up for massive amounts of time for the cheap fuel, or bought Premium at a high price just to get outta there.
Then it could be classed as a ‘patiently waiting for absolute bargain fail’ or ‘fooling the customers fail’.
There is always FAIL, it’s a matter of looking at it the right way.
That said, fooling the customers into purchasing discount fuel is possibly a ‘capitalism fail’.
“tagging out … fuel pumps”
Were you or are you in the Navy?
It is a fail, if it’s not then I will *ploop*
What’s the point in arguing, the most important thing is that I wa*ploop*
how nice comdoms for gas pumps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
safety first for all to fail
FAKE. The fails are mostly in the form of comments ITT.
The fail is his Bluetooth.
Yep. First thing I noticed actually. Health, safety and stupidity fail. Hoorah for that man!
dskjqoi hhaljs ojqiozzqguh (sorry ran out of gas to make a good comment)
I thought Springstein was smarter than that.
ALL of the pumps are apparently Out of Order…
..yet the submitter was apparently still waiting in line for his gas.
Perhaps the picture taker wasn’t waiting for gas. Maybe he saw a great fail picture and couldn’t resist the urge to pull in for a picture?
just goes to show that listening to iPods rots people’s brains!
So listening to an iPod rots your brain more efficiently than a listening to a walkman? Plus, where’s the iPod in the picture?
*startled* hmuh What did he say?
People did this all the time where I worked and then they’d come in and complain to us that the gas wasn’t coming out.
Some people just don’t read. He must use that Bluetooth earpiece as jewelry, it probably doesn’t even have a charge.
But, but, but…! Technology is making people smarter!
And he’s not even blond…
douche-bag. They put those bags on the pumps to stop people from pumping when they fill the underground tanks from the tanker trucks. What is happening right now is all the sludge on the bottom of the tanks are stirring up and is being suck in the pump into this guys car. Once they finish filling the underground tank the sludge settles and doesnt get sucked into the pump.
Wow, you people are pretty naive.
It doesn’t mean the pump is broken. It means the station is out of gas. Of course, for the station to be completely out of gas is bad for the station, so they generally don’t run out. But it happens. Sometimes it’s a few minutes, sometimes it’s hours before the tanker arrives.
Most of the time, you see the signs and drive to another station. On the other hand, if the tanker is there, you try the pump because they may be working. Really, there’s nothing lost in trying.
Thanks for that lesson on gas pumps, bluetooth guy.
Wow, you have no sense of humor.
Guys don’t recognize it easily, but this is the male equivalent of a bimbo. And just like some guys find this kind of confusion and helplessness cute in a girl, some girls find it cute in guys.
I don’t know what the bigger fail is. Him using a Out of Order pump, or talking on a bluetooth headset
it COULD be that the station is out of gas. most likely the pump is out of order. the break down all of the time. the boards, the pumps, the hoses, the nozzles on the hoses.
everytime we had an out of order pump at the gas station i worked at for three years some dumbass would do this. and usually come in afterwards to complain about how there was no gas coming out. most often they would take the out of order bags off and throw them in the trash and then procede to get no gas.
as far as the bluetooth goes, you see that so many times at gas stations you don’t even notice it anymore. and getting in and out of your car is more dangerous anyway due to building up static electricity.
damn its too dark
Holy shrimp on a stick that man is stuipd as hell. and mike……you sound as if your experienced. but also i dont think that its cute… its not helpless……its stupidity plain an simple. HOW ELSE could he not read the BIG BLACK BOLD on the YELLO bag let alone not feel it =_=
Tim Tebow Fail!
Whats the problem i dont se it?
You failed for not reading the above comments!
This looks staged.
As a gas station worker, I can certify that this isn’t a rare occurence. People absolutely refuse to read/notice anything. Then they like to bitch that “blah” isn’t working and you should put up signs if they’re down, when there are two signs on the pump, a bag on the nozzle, and a sign on each door.
The real fail here is who the heck goes to a gas station, takes picture of a guy pumping gas with a “do not use” sign, then come on failblog to post it?
yeah not that dumb, when there is cheaper petrol they put the signs up sometimes to limit how many customers get petrol at a time therefore selling less untill the price goes up.
Someone needs to post this on bluetoothdouchebag.com.
sorry chump out of brains
I bet the pump was actually working and the dumbass gas station left those baggies on. They did that here in FL when the hurricanes came through and everyone freaked out and were draining the gas stations. Even though there was still plenty gas left, they put bags over the pumps to deter people from even trying. It worked!
I dont get it. Whats the fail? A guy at a gas station, thats what I see. I dont drive btw.
what if thats not his car
I don’t get it.
how do you not get it…its a guy pumping gas out of an out of order gas pump
retarded douche
The better fail here is the guy taking the picture who is waiting in line behind him.
i heard that this kind of gasoline is very cheap, but it doesn’t get a car very far down the road after the fill up.
i dont get it
me neither
apparently the yellow bag thing means that the pump is out of fuel. so, the fail is supposedly that he’s stuck it in the tank not realizing he’s not getting any petrol. pity you can’t actually read the text on the yellow thing.
must be a u.s. thing. i had to read through some of this crap to figure it out because we don’t have those things here and i didn’t get it either. if you’re going to take a picture that is dependent on a “sign” of some sort, at least have the decency to make it high-res enough to be readable. i’ve had to blow up the pic to about 300% and can just make it out on the one on the left, although that’s mostly just the words “out of”.
in the end, it wasn’t worth it anyway.
maybe its not his vehicle, and he wanted to see if the idiot pumping gas was actually getting anything
really who goes to a gas station gets in line and takes a picture of someone doing what they were gonna do?
hah, the bluetooth headset hust makes the fail better(paradox?)
HAHAHA that guy is a loser. I love how he is on his bluetooth headset…he’s probably not paying attention to anything except his stupid converstaion and the delusions he has about how awesome he thinks he is.
