Turn off engine while refueling?

I wonder what others think about people who do not turn their cars off while they refuel at self-service stations. The pumps clearly state "turn off engine" but around here, particularly in the winter, many people don't. Some people start the pump and get back in the running vehicle until the pump clicks off, which seems particularly dangerous to me. I assume the message is there for a reason.
Of course, I've seen a few people smoke cigarettes while refueling, too.
I almost never hear of fires at gas stations, in spite of things like this.
John.
