Reply to comment by Charles_Whitman in ELI5: Why do you have to turn your car off when you fill up your tank? by logan0921

I was told the same! Considering the utterly moronic things you see people do on a day to day basis, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was a daily occurrence for fuel stations back then

I used to go the a full service gas station every week across from my job for a fill up. The attendant hit on me every single time. One day, I was distracted on a Bluetooth phone call and just started to drive away while he was mid pump. I stopped and thankfully nothing got damaged but I was too mortified to go back for weeks.

I finally went back one day and he goes “ahhh, hello! Very beautiful, not very smart.” Lmaoo i was like yah fair play.
