I think most of us have a "but Dave didn't need to refuel" story...
Mine was: I was new to the area, operator and type. We were doing short duration shuttles from a feeder site to a sporting event. I was one of two pilots flying the shuttle in similar machines, except that the other guy's was float equipped and had some other extra bits and pieces so was notably heavier than mine. He was carrying the same pax loads as me but i was refuelling every 40 min and he was flying for 1:10 at least between refuels! I spent the whole time trying to figure out what i was doing wrong - answer was: nothing - i was at MAUW so.... do the maths!
Thing was... a week later the machine he had been flying for the three days at that event started throwing gearbox chips (on another pilot) and was found to be knackered - over-torqueing was considered to be the cause.
Once again - this was a "well respected" pilot who was revered within the industry.
"Hauling the @r$e" out of an airframe will very often bite some other poor sod. Don't do it and don't tolerate others that do it. The person it falls to bits around could be you or someone you care about.
