Your free AvGas fillup at Dodge Center MN (TOB) July Sunday 31, AM

Gee, George...what do you make of the SUBJECT, especially after reading the
OP?

As I recall, the OP stated that he felt the fillup on his dime was accidental.
Seems to me that he went out of his way to avoid accusing anyone of stealing.

use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks.

Having been screwed multiple times by credit card companies in the

three

years we've been a vendor (at the hotel), I can tell you that credit

card

companies are run by the biggest pack of scum on the planet. They

will

screw anyone and everyone, without provocation or excuse, to make a

nickel.

Now you're coming off as the whiney one. Birds of a feather with the

OP?

Well, we may both be whining, but we're certainly seeing the issue from
different ends of the telescope.


I'm whining? I adhere to contracts and absorb my losses and don't

advertise

them AND I'M WHINING?


BTW, read the SUBJECT on this thread one more time.



Direct quote from the post that started this thread:

....If it was you that
accidentally filled up that morning after me and don't see
corresponding "HARTLAND FUEL PRODUCTS - DODGE CENTER" credit card
charges on your card please contact me....


What part of "accidently" did you and the other self-righteous people
who accuse this guy of accusing others of stealing, do you not understand?

That's a good point.

Why would that be bullying, telling him to "grow up"?

Blah blah blah.

It's whining if one does not take responsibility for ones irresponsible
actions. I include myself, if you don't include yourself or the
original
poster, then whatever.

I repeat that it's best to keep such mistakes to oneself unless one is
thick-skinned enough to take the heat on a newsgroup.

And exactly why should anyone give him any 'heat' at all?

Um...maybe because he made an accusation of theft which was a result of
misusing a gas pump?

A few years ago I left my garage unlocked and someone stole two very nice
bikes. That was pretty stuid of me. Or maybe I should have posted a request
for return of the bikes on rec.bicycles? Or better yet, put an ad in the
local paper? And my hometown isn't quite 20,000 people, most of whom get the
local paper?

Sounds more like childish playground bullying to me.

That's a leap!

And as one person pointed out: "Accidental?". Who'd a thunk someone
accidentally put 150 gallons of gas in his plane by accident?

Sounds like something your mother would say to get you to confess (i.e.,
"Just tell the truth and you won't get in trouble").

Sorry, but putting such a ludicrous post in a world-wide newsgroup...well,
I'm quite skeptical.

As the old adage: "Don't **** down my back and tell me it's raining".

Perhaps you would have preferred he said something like,

"Hey, whoever the ******* is that stole gas using my credit
card, I'm gonna ****ing hunt you down and beat the livin'
**** outta you till you give me my money back!" hmmm?

With all the self-righteous testosterone laden ego's around
here I'm beginning to wonder if Skylune doesn't have a point.
If this is the way GA pilots behave I'll have to rethink my
ambitions of becoming one.

Hi,

Just returned from Oshkosh home to Pierre SD. I filled up at Dodge
Center MN this AM and not being familiar with the self serve gas
fillup, I did not hang up the pump handle properly. Somebody after me
continued pumping another $150 on my credit card ($200 instead of about
$50). My experimental only holds 35 gal bone dry. If it was you that
accidentally filled up that morning after me and don't see
corresponding "HARTLAND FUEL PRODUCTS - DODGE CENTER" credit card
charges on your card please contact me. Paul at 605-224-0660

Now that's been a few days, has the charge amount POSTED to your credit
card account? Is it an even number like $200 or is it a more realistic
number like $197.34 ?

Go from a leap to a non-sequitur.

If you can't think and plan (or handle a gas pump) and respond to a minor
crisis and better than the OP, you better not.
