‘Wonder How Long I Left It In:' Driver Fills Up Gas at 7-Eleven. Then She Catches the Pump Still Charging After She's Finished
A 7-Eleven customer says a gas pump continued charging her after she finished fueling. Breezy (@brinaaababee) captured the meter crawl in a viral TikTok that's accrued over 320,000 views as of this writing. She begins the video by showing the gas pump to demonstrate that she's finished fueling. Behind the pump, the digital display shows the price and amount of gas she pumped. According to the screen, she spent $76.77 for 17.33 gallons of gas. Even though she's purportedly finished fueling, the price and amount keep going up. It continues increasing until she places the pump handle back inside the fuel stand. 'Y'all better start watching these [expletive] gas stations! I wonder how long I left it in my car 'finished,' she says. At the end of the video, her total is $77.09. Meter Creep This issue is known as meter creep. Petroleum industry trade association PEI defines meter creep as 'an event where the dispenser meter display indicates an increase in volume when the pump is on, even though no fuel is being dispensed.' PEI reports that this is usually caused by a leak in liquid-carrying components. It can also indicate that there's a glitch or malfunction with the fuel pump mechanism itself. Other drivers have reported similar issues with meter creep. Trending Now Man Buys $80k Genesis GV80 Coupe With All the 'Bells and Whistles.'

Just like Breezy, they held the gas pump handle with its lever disengaged. Despite not pouring any gasoline, the cost kept increasing from $52.50 to $52.55. In 2018, an NBC outlet in Orlando, Florida reported that a 'ghost gas pump' was charging customers while they weren't pumping. A customer who spotted the issue, upon reporting it to the gas station employee, was reportedly told that 'nothing could be done.' The outlet says that the gas station subsequently closed the pump for repairs. What if I Encounter Meter Creep? AZ Central reports that meter creep typically isn't caused intentionally to swindle customers. Usually, 'aging equipment or equipment malfunction' is the culprit. If you encounter meter creep, the outlet advises you to contact your local weights and measures department. These inspectors are tasked with routinely checking pumps at stations in their designated areas. They also inspect pumps if people report a malfunction. AZ Central notes that establishments with a history of violations are prioritized for inspections. Meter creep can be combated with routine maintenance of fuel pumps. Cleaning out nozzles and valves of debris and fuel residue can help ensure effective operation. Several TikTok users who replied to Breezy's video recommended she contact local inspectors in the weights and measures department to inform them about the faulty pump. Others were more concerned with her getting her money back. 'Better show the cashier and get that refund,' wrote one. Someone else speculated that 7-Eleven in question, which isn't identified in her post, will likely find themselves in hot water as a result of the discrepancy. 'That fine is about to be crazy," they said. "Report that gas station.' Many recommend that other drivers pay attention when they're fueling. As one said, 'You can hear the gas filling up in the car. If you stop hearing what sounds like liquid filling up an enclosed space, it's done.' Another said that meter creep is part of the reason why they prepay. Still others suggested the problem is more widespread than a single pump at the 7-Eleven Breezy visited. 'I would never get gas at 711,' one opined.

Breezy Is Free : Chris Brown Granted Bail By London Court
Source: Gallo Images / Getty According to BBC, Chris Brown was let out on bail this week after being charged with seriously hurting someone in a London nightclub last year. The person he's accused of attacking is music producer Abe Diaw. Brown had been in custody for a short time, but now he's been released while the case moves forward. This all happened right before his big summer tour, and fans were worried it might be canceled. With the R&B superstar out on bail, it looks like the shows are still happening. His first concert, called the Breezy Bowl, is scheduled for June 8 and will kick off the tour. Not much has been shared about what went down in the club, but the charge he's facing is pretty serious. Even though the case isn't over, Brown's team says he's working with the authorities and is staying focused on his music and upcoming shows. After being released on bail, his 'Breezy Bowl XX' tour is kicking off as planned. The first show starts June 8, 2025, in Amsterdam, and he'll be performing all across Europe until July 5, ending in Paris. Then he's heading to North America, starting July 30 in Miami.

UK court orders singer Chris Brown held in custody over 2023 London nightclub fight charge
Grammy-winning singer Chris Brown's upcoming tour was thrown into question Friday as a British judge ordered him held in custody while facing allegations that he beat a music producer with a bottle in a London nightclub in 2023. Brown, 36, appeared in Manchester Magistrates' Court to face one count of causing grievous bodily harm and was ordered held until his next hearing June 13 in London – the same day he's due to take the stage in Frankfurt, Germany, on the third date of his world tour. Judge Joanne Hirst rejected Brown's bail request after prosecutor Hannah Nicholls said that the crime was 'extremely serious.' Brown was on tour in the UK in February 2023 when he is alleged to have attacked producer Abe Diaw with a bottle at the Tape nightclub, in London's Mayfair neighborhood. Defense attorney Grace Forbes argued that the American performer wasn't a flight risk and should be released. Brown was flanked by court officers in the dock. His hair was bleached blonde and he wore sweatpants and a black T-shirt. He confirmed his name and birth date, and said that his address was the local Lowry Hotel, where he was arrested early Thursday and taken into custody. His case was transferred to Southwark Crown Court in London, where he is expected to enter a plea to the charge. Brown's representative didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press. Brown, often called by his nickname Breezy, burst onto the music scene as a teen in 2005 and has become a major hitmaker over the years with notable songs such as 'Run It,' 'Kiss Kiss' and 'Without You.' He won his first Grammy for best R&B album in 2011 for 'F.A.M.E.' and then earned his second gold trophy in the same category for '11:11 (Deluxe)' earlier this year. The singer is due to launch an international tour next month with artists Jhene Aiko, Summer Walker and Bryson Tiller, opening with a European leg on June 8 in Amsterdam before starting North America shows in July.
