Remember how eel-skin wallets were all the rage? Guess what critter they were made of? I used to fish those nasty sons-a-bitches. 4 of them will solidify a 5 gallon bucket full of water with their snot. You have to dunk 'em in a tank full of water treated with a narcotic to knock them out and get them to stop producing slime.
#2 - I have a doofus BIL who is that stupid to drive off with the gas hose still in his car. He's done it many times - and he is a CPA and has a master's degree. He mastered being a dumbass.
#6. Been there, did that. Only I didn't see it until I was at the gas station with my hand on the cap, the air was suddenly full of wasps and man didn't my hand kinda hurt.
From then on, I always made sure to ask if it had gas in in it when my boss told me to use the gofer truck.
#2 That gas line has the breakaway thingie installed. I thought those were meant to prevent damage to the pump.
You think #6 is whack? Look what i ran into. https://imgur.com/dPkUFm6 I won't bore you with the details but I did leave the hood up and old 'poss left by th time I came back from errands.
Twice over here. The safety release prevented her from dragging the gas station away with her, but she got quite a distance before noticing the first time.
Scary part is, I'm carrying some of those genes.....
In this case, I'd say it's because the filler neck is on the passenger side, although you'd have to walk past it to pay for the gas/get your goodies, etc.
#3 was in New Braunfels, TX using a skid-steer on a really sloped hill digging (drilling)holes for new light pole bases. I was facing uphill and the river was behind me. I had the Journeyman hook a chain to the ROPs and to a tree before I raised the digging attachment so I wouldn't roll backwards into the river when I started digging.
I took the slack out of that chain a couple times.
What on earth is going on in #9?

Why would anyone drive off with the pump nozzle still stuck in their car? I can't think of a single circumstance which would cause me to do that.
ReplyDeleteYea, but you ain't Joe Biden either.
DeleteHaving seen it many times, you must have led a protected live, until now.
