Indeed I think you should, you're just making yourself out to be a complete tool.

Lights off at petrol stations?

I know. I've already stated that I would.

Sound advice, sadly too often ignored and it is often mighty difficult actually to get to speak to a "Manager"; if you are lucky enough to do so, they are usually far too junior actually to achieve anything
You have clearly led a very sheltered life -or- are on the dole?
I've had a hellish life in parts, and have been a civil servant for nearly 7 years.
Your point?
They are taking a precaution, i suggest you stop being so paranoid if it really annoys you so much.
Let me guess it's your life and you should be allowed to smoke on a petrol station forecourt aswell if you want to ?
No, I don't want to blow other people up or myself. Don't try and cloud this..
How am I paranoid? It annoys me because of the presumption of guilt on all customers. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? A door open or not, light on or not ARE NOT GOING TO PREVENT THE THEFT OF FUEL.
I wouldn't mind a fuel purchases to be made by card for example. That will actually perhaps do ******* something.
But no, I'm made out like an idiot because I don't want to do the hockeycoky or whatever else the forecourt staff or company policy want me to do.

I'm sure you have.
So you haven't actually had a job for seven year then
I speed and think Im not gonna cause a crash, I still accept that it's 'wrong', it's just I haven't been caught yet.
If I do get caught speeding, I won't moan at the policeman and claim that I have sped for years without being caught, just like you claim to have the door open in the past without being told, yet when someone does tell you, you feel like they are in the wrong.
I'm sure you have.

I'm not too sure on your tone here... Well lets hear your sob story then?
What do you work as then SH?
Made your point out to be utter pish, so you have to resort to trolling? Much suprise there wee man...

What the **** are you talking about?
Your attitude, because someone has told you that you shouldn't have the door open you assume they are talking rubbish.
It's up to the attendant if they activate the pump, maybe he just thought you were acting suspiciously or looked dodgy. Get over it
I never said they were talking rubbish? My attitude has nothing to do with it. I said they were assuming guilt, which they are. Or the pontential for it.
You clearly don't read anything you respond to do you Simon? I've never once had any issues fueling my cars, it was the OP [TW]Fox who had the trouble. I SAID I HAVE FUELED MY CAR WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR OPEN, TALKING TO THE PASSENGER AND WENT AND PAID FOR MY FUEL WITHOUT ISSUE.
I am merely commenting as this is a discussion forum.. incase you didn't notice that either.

I think Asda is £60 for both. They have a sign advising Solo card users to fill to a MINIMUM of £20 to avoid funds being unavailable on their card until the pre-authorisation clears, or something like that.
What a load of tripe
I'm sure you're a fine upstanding member of society, who has never done a single thing wrong in your life - but the person the other side of the glass doesnt know that.
Should you be allowed to walk into a bank, waiving a gun around, wearing a balaclava and shouting random threats because thats what you like to do for fun?
Course you shouldnt - its the same principal taken to an extreme, if the cashier feels you pose a risk of theft because you've left your door open, they dont have to give you the fuel. Easy.
I think I'll leave it there, your quote below summed it up really. Seems you don't like rules
'Its my ******* car, I'll leave every door open stuff the seats with underage hoes and put my first through the windscreen if I should so choose.'
I've already had my tiff with Fox in this thread
I thought the thread had moved on from there though. I though we were now talking about how people generally like to ignore the rules of forecourts (despite how stupid some of the rules appear)Wow. This is like a record on repeat.
Its not a bank, i've not got a helmet.
I agree with you, which is why I'd take my custom elsewhere and let them know I don't appreciate being treated as a potential theif due to car lighting or not closing a door.
Exactly my point, however he couldn't seem to understand my analogy of banks and jewellers.
Because its crap. If you walk into a jewellers with helmet and gun your clearly in there for no good.
Turning up and forgetting to turn off your lights? Or leaving your door midly ajar?
****** off, they are nothing alike.
