I was filling my car yesterday (poor thing was on Empty), and something went wrong with the pump - it sounded and acted like it had stopped filling, but the numbers were still clicking away. I pulled the nozzle out of my car, only to realize FUEL WAS STILL COMING OUT!
Luckily, I didn't panic, just put the nozzle back in the car and waited for it to officially cut off at my pre-paid dollar amount, at which point the pump completely shut off. Went to the attendant (who was in a plexiglass booth in the middle of the center island) to tell him that there was a gas spill.
'What do you want ME to do about it?'
'I thought you might want to know, since it's, y'know, a bit of a hazard...'
'So?'
'What do you mean 'so?' Don't you want to clean it up?'
'What do you want me to do about it?'
At that point, I kinda just gave up. Other Half, however, wasn't so inclined. He and the attendant got into a screaming match over it, with Mine saying that we were just trying to help him and he didn't have to be a dick about it, and the attendant saying 'why don't you just call the police then!'
I finally dragged Mine away, and let him vent about the idiot for a while.
I think the guy thought we were trying to get money back...
