But there is no reason to risk my life with you! Tonight after studying for the bar and then lifting at the gym I stopped to put petrol in the car. A car pulled up next to me when I was almost done and a Grizzly Adams looking chap stepped out and started pumping petrol across from me. He then proceeded to do something that I immediately knew something was wrong with but I could not place my finger on…then in horror it dawned on me as a familiar smell hit my nose and I nearly jumped out of my skin….
The idiot across from me had taken a step back from the pump pulled out a box of matches and LIT a cigarette in front of me and BEGAN SMOKING!!!!
Forget the fact that years of science have told us that fire plus gasoline = big boom! Common sense tells you that fire plus a GAS STATION = potential CATASTROPHE.
I was in such shock that I couldn’t even get the words out properly …”What the hell are you doing”. Just as I said it the pump clicked, I was done: I jumped in my car and peeled out (I think the door didn’t even close) before anything crazy could happen…I fought the urge to turn back and try and snap a picture with the camera phone figuring the spectacle of the picture was not worth the chance of being the bbq on 4th of July!
A bloody idiot like that should not be allowed to have a driver’s license!
I remember when a similar incident occurred down in Jam. A guy I know was running a gas station when a couple of bad man pull in in a kris cyar. One of them did some Effry at the pump and the gas station mgr guy spoke to them about it. They ignored him so he pushed their car away from the pump or something like that. One of them took him on about it and he had to put a beating on the two guys. After that, the bad guys went away and were returning with their troops to waste him when the encountered a police patrol and a big gun battle ensued. All because some assholes wanted to do some sh_t at the gas pumps! (* shakes head *)
