Petrol Stations
My ex worked in a Petrol Station over one boring summer. One day, we were out with her brother and needed to stop for some fuel. He got out and started to fill up the car, trying to get exactly five quid's worth into the tank. When he leaned in to get his wallet, I said "Lucky you didn't annoy them, or they would have pushed the button to add a penny on when you were done." For the next hour (with my ex keeping a wonderful straight face and admitting that they do have these) he was convinced there was a magic button under the counter to add a penny on and was complaining about how this must be theft and shouldn't be allowed.
