Please do.. because:

snopes.com: Cell Phone Use at Gas Pump

Mythbusters proved this is pretty much not possible either.

Most sparks at gas pumps are caused by static electricity, not from cell phones.

That is a mechanical issue. It happens at all gas stations eventually. Its called meter creep. The check valve is faulty and needs to be replaced. The only way a gas station knows its broken is if people like you tell them. I'll bet the pumps meter was calibrated by a state inspector within the last year. Check the sticker on the pump. Not a BJ's problem... its an industry equipment issue. If you hang up the nozzle like you're supposed to it wont do that.

Anyone else out there experienced this???

It's funny in Jersey the "cool kids" pump their own gas. It's technically illegal (if you can believe that). I just hate having people near my car with corrosive fluids, and now i have to specifically tell them to NOT top it off. I enjoy my trips to NY and CT much better. I enjoy pumping my own gas.
