Shoot the breeze - Howie Feltersnatch - 07-22-2008
I say we have a thread dedicated to open discussion of whatever comes up.
Last night we had a fire call of a person who somehow ripped the nozzle off a gas pump while it was operating, they promptly threw the nozzle away and drove off....luckily the person running the station at the time had a head about them and was in the process of cleaning everything up by the time we got there.
People are stupid

I worked for a gas station chain when I lived back home in Iowa. People ARE dumb.. we had idiots drive off all the time with the nozzle still in the car. Luckily the nozzle was a swivel and break-away type nozzle so the hose wouldn't leak anything but damn...
We also had one lady manage to get gasoline in her face/eyes.... duh.... I have NO idea how she did it to this day..

I was filling up my truck one time and watched a lady lock the nozzle open, get back into her car...light a cig, and start talking on her cell phone (the three golden rules broken)...to my delight the car over filled and dumped fuel all over the ground. After turning off the pump she went inside and fought with the attendant over how much fuel was on the ground as she wasn't going to pay for it.

lol! I used to LOVE telling people that there was a sign posted in clear view that the customer was responsible for paying for any/all gasoline that they spilled. They'd fight me to the death sometimes, I just loved seeing my managers get involved and them eventually having to pay for it. I expecially loved hearing them say "I'll never come back here again" and then I'd see them in the store the next day

i saw a girl filling up her tank while smoking a cig and the whole time i'm thinking "god, teach her a lesson. please." and about 5 seconds later her sandals caught on fire. nothing serious but enough to make her dance around crazily trying to put it out.

"freak" accident, I wouldn't call it that, more like "stupid dumb ass" accident

Later in the movie Ben Stiller refers back to what happened by saying, "If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity.

yah, woman pulled out in front of me and i smacked into her...years or riding dirtbikes and smacking trees prepared me for this as i didn't even fall over...guided the bike to the ground in a most gracefull manner. what i dont understand is how the stealership can give an estimate for 813$, then when i do some labor myself have the price jump to $814...a dollar more for hours less labor...weird

Not to mention you missed Bike Week in Muskegon... which for some reason was really only the weekend... that one still confuses me.

the dealership called, bikes finally done...they've been waiting for my headlight (which i'm putting on) so now they'll start putting together the new front rim (which has been at the shop for a week and a half)...yeah...
as for the extra money being added for less labor done...he credited me 1$ to get it back to the origional 813...but is still doing the agreed lesser amount of labor.

Isn't it funny how it's always the other person(s) fault? I know everybody around here ALWAYS ride their bike's at a safe speed...... Yes, I have had a few accidents, always avoided hitting somebody else though. Almost ate a SUV this morning.

Just messin' dude. With gas what it is there are more bikes than I can remember on the road. People can't drive in general. Me and the Queen drive 40 miles one way every day, mostly inner city. I can't imagine trying to do it on a bike.
