'They ended up issuing over £200 in free petrol': Teen driver keeps customers waiting for gas for an hour after attendant refuses to let him pay

Without a photo ID, this teen driver was totally out of luck. 

As you first start driving as a teenager, you're very nervous. At age 16 or 17, you suddenly find yourself behind the wheel of a several-ton vehicle. Armed with a learner's permit, you can now take your friends to the movies or a trip to your favorite restaurant. As a new driver, you're terrified of crashing, and hyper aware of everything going on around you. It's all part of the learning process. Within a few months, you're driving with your knees on the steering wheel while eating a sandwich… But those first few months are a bit nerve wracking. 

This kid suddenly had another thing to worry about, and it's a strange one. While trying to buy gasoline, the attendant noticed that they were on the younger side, and refused to sell them gas without an ID. That put the OP in quite a pickle, as you can read in the entire story down below. 

Next up, these online sellers of Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace had some absolutely wild things for sale, like one person who sells decoy wasp nests so you can avoid getting your electricity shut off.
