Default Gas Station Mayhem

I was driving home from work, and I needed gas. I forgot all about this, until I was past the station my grandpa likes me to go to. I needed to turn left to get to it, but I was in the right lane. So I turned right and another gas station appeared in front of me. I went there, figuring it was quicker, and Grandpa didn't need to know. I parked, got out of the car, and a woman was SMOKING at the pump! I went inside and told a manager. He thought I meant the pump was smoking and raced outside. He spotted the woman smoking, at this point in her car, starting to drive off with the nozzle still in her car. He pounded on the back to get her to stop, then took the nozzle out and put her gas cap back on. He came back into the building, where another customer was shaking his head at the stupidity of the whole thing. Then he thanked me and had a long rant about smoking and his customers and how much it would have cost him if she had driven off with the nozzle. I told him about CS and he said "I don't have to go there! I have it all happening here! I have five hundred people a day, and some are not very smart! I had a woman the other day want me to clear the pump, and I said 'Ma'am, just put the nozzle back, it will get rid of your information.' She started arguing with me! She wanted me to clear all of her information off the pump! Some people!"

That has to be the most monumental understatement of the year so far....

I have a friend that would leave her car still running while pumping gas. One time I was in the car waiting and I turned it off. She got mad and said that she needs to leave the car on so she can see when her car fills up.

But...the gas pump shuts off when the car is full...Although, my mom had a car that some gas pumps wouldn't shut off for, but you can hear when the tank is full if you listen to the sound of the gas going in.

yeah. cos knowing how much gas she bought is really going to tip off the identity thieves that follow her every move

This reminds me of the idiot gas station manager who was smoking near the pumps last year: http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...ad.php?t=70218
