"@Timwell I wish I had your confidence to ask people to switch their engines off. Just been getting poisoned by an idiot with their engine running in Asda multi-storey car park 
I genuinely feel it on my chest and wish I went over to them."
I genuinely feel it on my chest and wish I went over to them."REASONS FOR WHY THE ENGINE MUST NOT BE TURNED OFF:
1 Flat battery, mate. It won't restart if I switch off.
2 I'm conducting an engine diagnostic test that requires the engine to be left running.
3 I'm updating my satnav and the engine has to be left on.
4 I have children in the back and they must be kept warm.
5 I have dogs in the back and they need the air conditioning that must have the battery being recharged with the engine switched on.
6 It's a windy day. It doesn't matter.
7 I'm so wealthy, I really don't need to save money/fuel by switching off.
8 I have clean air in the car and my having to open the window for you is beginning to change that.
9 I've only stopped for a drag/fiddle with my phone/have a bite to eat.
10 I'm about to leave and you, old man, are delaying me.
CLEAN AIR SCRIPT:
What I say is, 'Excuse me, Could you please be a very nice man/woman and give me cleaner air to breathe?' After a little thought, the penny drops with some without my further prompting. A minority do comply! The secret is to smile/apologise/make 'em think you're joking or, just want to save them money and leave some petrol for future use!
Eat an apple to counteract what you've breathed in.
