...and "stuff" like this still happens. One our local gas station had its pump extinguishers tripped by a smoker-joker; that one little area looked like a BBQ! Even when I smoked, I would NEVER EVER even think of pumping gas with a Kool-Mild in my hand! 😬 😬 😬 I'm even extra cautious just filling up my mower can!
When I worked as a letter carrier back in the '70s we used to get our Jeeps gassed up at a full service station. Lenny would always come out and gas my Jeep up with a cigarette in his hand and then puff on it casually while he filled the vehicle. I always stepped away from the pumps LOL. Years later a gas station went in next to the post office and we were required to fill the tanks ourselves which satisfied me completely.
