CUS–
Two drivers pull up to a gas station. The men jump out and quickly swap the nozzles. One man drives away, while the other waits for an unsuspecting victim.
The victim pulls up and starts pumping gas; the conman starts his meter too and counted on the victim to not notice they’re paying for his gas.
A reported gas pump scheme in Sacramento County could have some people pumping gas only to realize that it didn’t make it into their tank.
This makes no sense.
And if you fall for it, you are not smart enough to be a reader of this site. You are probably not smart enough to read.
There are times that I agree with the California bill that will let people kill their kids after birth for up to who knows how long.
I just think that those kids shouldn’t be killed until they are about 30 and have shown what they will offer to society.
The people running the scam are offering nothing, and the people that fall for it are allowed to vote for some reason. None are bringing anything valuable to society.
What gas stations have hoses long enough to do that? Most stations don’t have pumps long enough to reach around a car much less to a car at a different pump.
wouldn’t work at the stations i use.
The hoses are RHS only, at the front, and would not reach around.
(Diesel from left & Yellow would not fit)
The lines in many cases also have a reel system.
Its credit card unlock, pre pay cash, or buzz the cashier.
It could happen, but most likely if you are playing on your phone.
Also with older style pumps that I have not seen in years.
Yeah. I’m with everybody above. You’d have to be a stone cold retard to fall for any of that… if it was even physically possible to wank around with nozzles.
Although I have seen people put diesel fuel into petrol vehicles, and petrol into diesel vehicles.
I was at V Street one morning and a bucket truck came in on a tow. I turned to John and asked, “What the hell, that’s a pretty new truck?”
John said, “Tech put gasoline in it.”
I retorted, “You’d have to be a pretty silly motherfucker to put gasoline in a diesel!”
John said, “I don’t know how silly you’d have to be… I’ve done it twice.”
I said, “Hey John, have a nice day!”
@Eric: ” You’d have to be a stone cold retard to fall for any of that…”
Well, we are talking about California.
Cynic, HAA! Ahh shit!
^^^^^You fucking guys, sniff. LOL
Gas stations are one of the most dangerous places. Orange alert status. OODA loop.
If only some people could use their creative impulses for the greater good.
Shifty bartenders do it all the time, especially after the customer has had two or more drinks…pouring well-booze instead of call-brands.
So I hear.
That only works if the nozzles are on the side of the pump and not on the front of the pump. Where I gas up, there’s no way I’m going to get ripped off. I gas up at Indian casinos, cheapest place around.
“the conman starts his meter too and counted on the victim to not notice they’re paying for his gas.”
How can the thief start his side without prepaying
But only morons.
I’m going to call bullshit on this one. Not even Joe Biden is that stupid.
