Boat owner comes back , sees what’s going on and almost killed the kid.

Great story. Reminded me of my niece. She ran out of windshield wiper fluid so she opened the oil cap and put in a gallon of antifreeze.
In terms of the topic at hand, generous people usually give liberally without thinking much about it. Others hold on to every dollar a lot tighter. It's not just with the kid pumping gas, it is an attitude that permeates all aspects of life..
