“Would've come running with a lighter, so our future can be brighter.”

“Didn't realise they had so much pressure.”

Woman skips out on R733 petrol bill
In a separate story, Briefly News reported that South African online users were appalled to learn about a woman who skipped out on paying her petrol bill after a recent visit to the petrol filling station. Her dishonesty has not only disappointed many, but has also cost the petrol attendant who "assisted" her with a large chunk of his next salary.
Online user @nomashishini shared details of the incident on a Twitter post, revealing that the woman in question had said she forgot her wallet home when it was time to pay the R733,10 bill.
“A lady driving Silver/grey Ford Fiesta ref: DV99XBGP went to shell garage New road Midrand poured petrol worth R733.10 when it was time to pay she said she forgot her wallet. She never went back to pay. She must go pay the money that was deducted from the petrol attendant’s salary,” the tweet reads.
