"smoking while fueling" - you are making this up, right?

I'd say so, Rico. I don't know how he got burned, but I hope it wasn't like this!

Oh dear, poor sparky, reminded me of a video footage of a failed robbery at a gas station, some thugs pulled up in a van with the intention of stealing a car that was being filled up, the quick thinking customer turned the hose on them drenching them in petrol and the van door was open and he filled that too, best laugh I'd had in ages.
