My roof is down, and at the "donk' sound I look in the rearview mirror. And I lose my mind when I see the steel cap laying on my deck. That gas attendant learned a lot about respecting other people's possessions in the next five minutes.
Since that day if I get gas at a full serve station, which is rare, I stand outside the car and monitor the jockey.

Thanks for three pretty nostalgic things in this post...
Full Service stations, haven't seen one of those in years... a car w/ flip down plates to access the gas cap... and leaded gas (Hi-Test for my old Austin).
