Pumping petrol , another misadventure

If some of you remember, funny things always happen to me when it comes to doing something that I dont usually do, like pumping petrol for instance. Usually my dad fills up my petrol tank when he takes the car out for games or what not. However this week he forgot to fill up my petrol tank. So last night I was forced to pump petrol on my own, otherwsie there wont be enough petrol for me to go to work the following day.

Me: I guess I have to go pump petrol
Lady: Remember to pull your handbrake this time!
Me: Haha, if anything happens like the last time, you can just pull the handbrake yourself instead of trying to hold the car with your hands!
Lady: Haha, no la..I'm afraid the handbrake will come off!
Me: -_- uh huh.....

So anyway I paid at the counter, and proceeded to start pumping the petrol.

Me: Eh, why is nothing happening?
Lady: hmm yalo, the figure isnt coming out.
Me: Let me go ask the couter guy if he got the right station number.

So I asked..and the guy, obviously not understanding english well, was making signs with his hands to press the petrol thing(dunno whats the term for it), I was like uhh...ok.....

Later on we realised you have to start pumping the petrol before the figures start to come out. (*Dies of embarassment) Another attendant came to help us on doing that... Well I bet all of you are like -_- that I cant even pump petrol after driving for 4 years. :p I guess I'll do better the next time.
