LOL. I see confused people like that gentleman pretty often. They will drive up to a gas pump, stop, get out, scratch their heads, then circle around to the other side of the pump, just to see that the nozzle is still on the opposite side of their filler door. Sad, but true.

Thanks for sharing that priceless pic. It's bound to come in handy in the future on these boards.

That took more energy that pulling his car around, I'm sure. What a douche.

I used to work at a gas station...I've seen some serious idiots.

My old boss was this cranky old man....he would get so crazy when people smoked around the pumps...he stumble about all red faced...you..you trying to blow us all up.....and when people cut the street corner and flew through the station he'd get really pissed and jump out of the way all crazy...even if the car was no where close...course he did get nailed once and shattered his arm.

Some of you may remember this station.....on mission...old chevron of palm street by the albertons....gone now...replaced with some ghetto place worse than arco.

anyways....I saw this cat in a dart back into one of the tanks and knock it over.
I saw a couple people drive away with the damn things still in their cars. Ripping the hoses off...that's why that joint is on there.
Smokers......dudes filling up plastic gas cans on their plastic lined truck beds..major major no no....even has a damn sticker on the can. and on the damn gas tank.

Ummmmm....lets see. Plenty more...shoot I put 16 cents in a car once...haaaa.

Had this one dude working for us...we had a full service lane. So he's pumping supreme gas..washing windows and what not...I am in one of the bay's cleaning up.....I hear this lady screeming and look out and he's standing there all dazed like with the window cleaner in his hand......the freakin pump popped out and stayed on...so gas was shooting all over this ladies car....I come running out of the shop and he's all...what do I do...I don't know what to do....so I pick up the nozzle....and look at it...and say....first you could turn the ****ing thing off. I proceed to appologize to the lady. Move her to another bay..fill her car for free. And wash it down. Then I had to shut down the station while we cleared out the lake of gas and the explosive fumes......try standing in gas for an hour....brain cells I'll never see again.


oh and the whole smoking in a gas station....for an explosion you'd have to have a spill like we had. A ton of fumes....ton.

I once saw a delivery truck guy filling the tanks and smoking....I said dude..you crazy or something....he says na....check this out. Fills a bucket of gas up and throws his cigarette in it....nothing but a fizzle.

Yeah gas needs to be atomized w/ O2 to burn. I've tried the same thing with a puddle on the cement and some matches. Boy, what a let down
