Ah! Same procedure I have with my wife. Even alone, I activate my remote to lock the car while pumping petrol. Good thing my fuel port does not set off the alarm.

That's why SGers are unimaginative. They use hammer you start the ignition and use your car. Damage already! WTF! Might as well use it for more damage! sly.gif

A person may be prideless but it doesnt mean we or anybody can or have the right treat them like a lesser human being.

 

And in this case as stated in the thread, humiliating the person and asking to eat from the trash and pushing him to the ground.

 

This is so not right.

 

ya agree. Just ignore and I would even say politely that i am not interested and then drive off. Unless he does hanky panky things else i would just drive off.

 

Ther are also humans and got dignity too. If they are not poor they won't resort to such acts. think a normal person would never like to do that too.

Wah..so many comments already. I guess this is a really emotional issue among people here.

The thing about safety is situation awareness. Always look around you and your surrounding wherever you go. That way, if someone approaches, you will not be surprised and hopefully be prepared. Sometimes you just can't get away.

 

I have been approached by "Rolex" guys countless of time at petrol stations, carparks, etc. And when everytime I see them coming I will walk away before they approaches. I always lock the car quickly when leaving, and ALWAYS get into the car QUICKLY, LOCK n GO. Never hang around counting money or putting the wallet away or etc. Just drive off.

 

YOu know, a good mentality to adopt is to think you are in a war zone. [rifle]

Always put a LONG and reliable spanner on the driver's side as it'll come in handy in a foreign land filled wif danger and excitement [sly]

 

Always assess the situation b4 one acts. If the sum say buay gum, eg. if you're outnumbered or if the fellow is armed with a parang or anything more potent than your spanner, don't be a hero cos hero always die first and die young...just lose a bit of money and come home alive [nod]

 

If that fellow still try to harm you after you empty your wallet, fight for your life...you're screwed anyway so got nothing to lose liao [flowerface]

I'm "armed" with a maglite torch on the side... It's the long type (3 D cell battery model)...

 

I go to JB at very odd hours (Sunday morning at 0400H)... Usually start off with no air con on my way to woodlands... As soon as I clear the woodlands customs, my windows are up and my doors locked... Cannot afford to take chances...

 

You are right by saying that one should assess the situation first before reacting... thumbsup.gif

I shared similar experience. The guy appear out of nowhere which gave me a fright. For me, I refuses to entertain nor gives him money as he looks healthy with no physical disability. I think if you were to pump at the sheltered area, the pump attendant will ask the guy to go away.
