A Nigerian man who goes by @JahBlesssaint21 on X has sparked a lively online conversation after recounting a gas station encounter that ended with him deleting a woman's phone number on the spot.
In a post shared on August 18, 2026, the man described heading to a filling station to refill his gas cylinder when he spotted a woman he immediately found attractive.

She had also come to refill a 3kg cylinder. Drawn to her, he walked over, introduced himself, and the two exchanged pleasantries. He went on to tell her he would like to keep in touch, and she agreed, giving him her number.
The billing that followed
What happened next left him stunned. Just as he finished paying for his own cylinder and was about to hand over the receipt to the attendant, the woman turned to him and asked whether he intended to pay for hers as well.
He described the question as completely out of place, writing that he could not understand how exchanging numbers automatically made him responsible for her bill. He responded by telling her not to worry about the number at all, and deleted it before leaving the station.
Wrapping up his post, he argued that the habit of expecting financial favours from any man who shows romantic interest had become a troubling pattern, and that it was not fair on men who wanted to strike up a genuine connection.
