l went to the local gas station/convenience store this morning to get a coffee and as I walked up, I noticed these 2 officers watching a woman smoking while pumping her gas. I saw her and thought, is this lady stupid, crazy, or both, especially with the police standing RIGHT there. Anyway, I minded my own business and went in for my drink. As I was paying I heard someone screaming! Man, I’m talking violent death screams! I looked up and saw the woman's arm was on fire! She was swinging her arm, running around going nuts! When I got my drink and walked out the door the officers had the woman on the ground putting the fire out! Then they put handcuffs on her and threw her in the patrol car. I was thinking, arrested? Shouldn’t she be in an ambulance, not a patrol car? Being the nosy person I am, I asked the officer what they were arresting her for. The guy looked at me, dead serious, and said, "WAVING A FIRE ARM IN PUBLIC!"

Cretch,
Thanks, man. That was good. I thought you were going to show us a video of that. I saw one the other day. The lady burned down the gas station.

4 or 5 years ago we were in Hatteras fishing for a week in late october. Buddy and me pulled into Frisco rod and gun, and noticed this old dude leaning over something smoking with an oxygen tank with lines running up to his nose. We started laughing then my buddy pointed out what he was leaning over..... it was one of those steel mesh cabinets that holds the replacement propane tanks! I shoulda got a pic of it, but we were laughing so hard he was glaring at us....

A buddies father-in-law was on oxygen and smoked.
Mostly bedfast he always did one, or the other.
Of course, he eventually screwed up and lit up with the O2 going.
He shot fire up his nostrils, burnt them black.
Pretty sure that hurt, the pics made me cringe.

My friend always said that smoking while filling up will calm your nerves during the explosion.

Knee slapper. I'm normally one to mind my own but was filling up my wife's SUV one day when some jackass pulls up, gets out smoking and starts to fill up his car in the pump next to me. I wanted to beat the dumbass out of him but asked as politely as I could muster if he minded not smoking while pumping fuel. Thankfully he put it out without incident. You want to blow yourself up go right ahead but when I'm next to you with my wife and kids is quite another. Some people are walking Darwin award candidates just waiting to collect.
