some of our lot think forever, as they never fill it up they think our energy needs are solved, they seem to have one tank that never needs filling up!

This has happened twice now, seen a colleague filling the van up at the garage, "finally she's filling a van up" thinks me, get's back to do me parcels, have to take that van, the van has travelled from the garage to the office about 100m, no one else has used the van between the garage and the office, get's in and no it's not filled up, it just has enough fuel in to get her round the round the next day
what is the fookin point!

I would suggest a few things. Maybe she's lazy, stupid, or just possibly, sees a 15 or 20 minute trip to the petrol station as a way to do less work. Maybe that's the way she's been told to do it. In my office, they drag you in for leaving a van with less than half a tank.

i would suggest all of the above,the garage is 5minutes from the office, we too are supposed to not leave the vans with less than half a tank, but you just can't tell some people.
This is a remote office so only one place to fill up, the half a tank thing was brought in so if we couldn't get fuel for a day then we weren't desperate for fuel, well as always you can guess, some people do what your supposed to and some don't so when this happened we had two vans off the road due to lack of fuel for the day! [garage had run low, new supplies the next day]

why is it that it's the little things that piss you off? i shouldn't really be bothered

I think the reason little things p**s you off is because it's always people like you and me that end up either suffering as a result, or having to fix a problem we didn't create. :evil/mad
