Yet airplanes are re-fueled in flight. Not comparable in any way, and yes, there have been re fueling disasters.

I never kill it. I stick the spout in, lock it up and go inside if I'm going inside. The vehicle stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Was not unusual to fuel helos hot. Just be sure to ground em off and you were good to go.
I usually turn my engine off just because it takes so long. If I am doing a splash and go I will leave it running.

Sometimes I leave it on, maybe 50% of the time, especially if it is cold and Mrs RayBob is inside. Been doing it for 50 years this way. I do however put out my cig.

To answer the actual original post topic question, I would not.
I turn the engine off, I don't mess with my phone, I don't smoke a cigar, etc.
At most, I throw away car trash and clean my windows, always paying attention to the fuel meter.

Always off. I`ve never put a drop of gas or diesel in anything while running.

I turn mine off and pocket the keys until I am leaving. Why risk some feral animal jumping in your vehicle and driving off.

Why risk some feral animal jumping in your vehicle and driving off. and it gives us the chance to ask our carjackers name while they demand keys they won't get.  left the truck running in colorado when it would get bad cold, otherwise never leave it with keys in it or running.

I'm guilty of not always turning my engine off.
