On a related fuel station note - fuel pumps here in the UK have pipes long enough to allow vehicles (well cars, MPVs, pickups, SUVs) to refuel even if their tank opening is on the opposite side, there are even big signs on them saying

NO NEED TO WAIT FILL UP ON BOTH SIDES

which seems clear enough ?

So why do some people still just wait until the pump on the side which matches their car's filler ?

And why do they insist on getting annoyed when I fill up with a pump on the opposite side ?
