So simple, but apparently effective. I'll have to warn DH. He's notorious for starting the pump then either getting back into his truck or walking away to wash his windshield... 4951

I never leave the pump. I find it funny when I see people get back in their cars and I am still standing even in freezing temperatures. 4951

Well I'll be a monkeys aunt. So even though I ***** to rattle that card slot I should be following the hose.
 
Will it ever stop?
 
Side note:
 
Do not stand like the man that never leaves his pump in the video. I had a blow back many years ago.
you guess it. Right in the crotch. Luckily it was a station that still had an attendant and he hit the emergency shut off and pointed me to the bathroom. I was also lucky to have been leaving town and had extra clothes. It was still a long six hour burning ride.
 
I'm not saying leave it unattended. Just step to the side. 4951

They being who?   How did they siphon it?
 
@Stealth83: Before the customer comes they take the hose from one side and put into the holder on the other side. So when the unwitting customer starts pumping their gas they swipe their credit card, insert the nozzle into the tank, and see the gallons and charges adding up as usual as they pump.  What they don't realize is that the hoses have been exchanged and the guy on the otherside of the pumps is filling his car using the hose from your side (getting his gas for free) and the hose you have in your tank is doing nothing since it was pulled over from the other side.

@fcabanski: So maybe they deserve to be ripped off?
Not sure if that should be a question or a statement..... 4951

No, I don't mean they deserve it.  But I always hold the hose for a second to make sure the gas is coming out of it.  You can also see it jerk when the gas starts pumping.  It seems odd that people would miss that gas isn't pumping through the hose. 4951

Probably because most people tend to be preoccupied with other things like putting their "I'm getting gas" post on FB or Instagram or Twitter or whatever other social media they're on, to notice if the gas is coming out! 4951

In those cases it's a "I'm not getting gas" post. 4951
