Thanks Wes. Had dads service last Thursday, cause of the autopsy and stuff, im back to work which is a good distraction but its incredibly hard for my mum.
I don't know if this is a pet peeve as I've never seen this before. This screw was jammed into the gas pump nozzle which I of course didn't see, so when I stuck the thing in my gas tank, it got stuck. I thought it was some kind of new locking nozzle or something. Finally jimmied it loose and found I'd just gotten screwed. Whoever did this needs to be castrated in the worst way possibly. And the screw is firmly stuck in there, no easily removing it. What a douche.
What’s the point in that? How did it affect your ability to get gas?
It affected my ability to leave. For a while the nozzle just would not come out of my gas tank. The screw had gone into the opening and lodged itself in there. I had another dude come check and he couldn't remove it either. It was stuck in there wouldn't come out. Finally I managed to wiggle it exactly the right way to get it out. Either way it could have caused damage to the gas pump or the car or both. So why even do that? What kind of ****ing douche bag thinks that random damage to **** they don't own is funny? That's ****ed up. There is no way that screw could have gotten in that position without human intervention. **** that guy.

That sleave needs to be pushed in for the nozzle to work, so maybe they put the screw there so they could fill a gas can or the like without the back pressure stopping the pump.
Possible but when I used it the backpressure acted as usual, no difference. I couldn't think of a single legitimate use, unless they had a gas tank/can of some kind the nozzle kept falling out of or something like that. Still is a terrible solution, if that was even the issue. I still think it was malicious.
Ah, gotcha. I’d understood that it hindered you filling up. Definitely seems malicious.
Yeah I should have made that more clear. I was just too busy being pissed off. My inner Dexter was acting up.
