The woman who (presumably having put fuel in her car) was parked beside a pump, engine on, texting on her phone. Gave her the benefit of the doubt as thought her passenger could be paying. As I neared the front she started driving off.
Wouldn't have bothered me if all the other pumps weren't occupied and several people (including myself) were waiting.

In a lot of garages up this way if you do that a very stern voice comes over the tannoy in the garage and tells you to turn your phone off! |

I've noticed in many walks of life people seem to be addicted to their phones. I get off the train at Waterloo everyday and people have had at least 10 minutes to look at their phones, but there must be about 40% of people who wander along a packed platform absolutely glued to their phones! |

A symptom of how the world is changing, you can more or less trace it back 30 years ago, to Thatcher's pronouncement... And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. This has been the leitmotif of the time, accelerated by changes in technology. |

She was in the car. I see people getting told off a lot too when on their phone outside of the car. Mind you it's a complete myth that using a mobile causes fires. |

Whilst I don't want to perpetuate this thrilling discussion  , but i suspect a garage forecourt is private land and thus not subject to highway jurisdiction? |

Certain garages up north do it even if you are in the car, I have been warned as a passenger twice in a certain Morrisons garage in Leeds! |

To be honest I tended to make sure I am on the phone just to wind her up, although I won't be going there again as the job I was doing on the adjacent development site has finished now. |

Very much this, especially at small venues. If you don't want to see the gig, fuck off. Its even more annoying than mobile wankers. Yeah take a picture or two, then watch the fucking gig or piss off. |
