Panic.. Petrol flowing out of our car

Yesterday after work, i went and pump petrol. Well the petrol is cheaper in Mukilteo, where i work. The thing with petrol kioks here is, it's all self service. You get the nuzzle and pump petrol. I have never ever pumped petrol on my own.

Back home in Singapore, everytime i go to the petrol station, there are uncles and aunties to do the job. There was once, i lifted the nuzzle and i hear the uncle screaming from far away "Waaait, i will do it for u"

But over here, you do your own. Today as i was pumping, the click went off. Meaning that the fuel tank is fuel. But seeing that it's a few cents more to hit a round number, i gave it a few more clicks. Next thing i know, petrol is flowing out..

PANIC** i grabbed tissues and cleaned the car. But there's excess petrol in the petrol pipe when you put the cap back. Feeling scared, i asked the petrol assistanat. And she told me coolly, it's ok. huh??? Reallly??

So what i did was, i drove off and pulled over at some shops 5min to check on the petrol cap. Phew.. the excess petrol disappear.

When i told Derrick about it, he told me. That happened to him once too. Seems the petrol nuzzle here click much later than Singapore's. So back home, you could click a few more time to make round number. But over here, you better stop when it clicks..
