How one person can willy-nilly stride over and disturb the peace of another person is something that may potentially not be fully understood.
However, that is the sad reality of the world, with some people bearing the brunt of it more than others. If a video doing the rounds on social media is anything to go by, such was the case for one individual during a trip to the filling station.

In the clip shared by a Twitter user, @theHirohito, CCTV cameras at the unknown petrol garage show a man calmly approaching a vehicle whose owner is seen standing nearby while topping up on fuel.
"These petrol attendants must be appreciated for their work," read the caption along with pinched fingers and a fire emoji.

The strange man walks over to the vehicle and proceeds to dislodge the fuel pump from the tank as the liquid substance continues to gush out. He is then seen spraying the fast-pumping flammable petroleum over the car on its right rear side.
Clear, callous and calculated
Glaringly, he sticks out his free right hand holding what is thought to be an accelerant. The car is set alight, and the perpetrator subsequently runs back to what to a vehicle just mere metres away and speeds off.
At the same time, the burning vehicle's owner, visibly stunned, struts to the left passenger side of the car, opens the door, and a woman is seen jumping out before the couple run off and out of view.
Two petrol attendants rush to the car and douse the flame using the available fire extinguishers. Within seconds, the flame is put out, and the clip ends. At the time of publishing, it had garnered almost 52 000 views and attracted close to 3 000 likes.
Netizens find cause to laugh
It's unclear where the clip was taken though it appears to be in an Asian country, possibly Japan or China. In any event, locals reacted in horror but took the time to share some hilarious jibes.

Petrol attendant filmed jamming to fire song
Elsewhere, Briefly News reported that a local driver decided to film a petrol service worker who, while he filling up the man's tank, jammed to his favourite song.
The Shell garage worker was seen killing it with dance moves while keeping an eye on the job at hand. The viral clip was loved on social media and Briefly News takes a look at the hilarious reactions from the post as shared by @Amon_Caes.
The Twitter user brilliantly captioned his funny clip, suggesting the petrol service station guys deserve the credit.
“Petrol attendants deserve the whole world,” he wrote.
