Was at the gas station today and some stupid troll looking lady wearing week old dirty clothes, in a Corolla that was so dirty you couldnt see through the windows, she was on the other side of the pump from me, gas running, sitting in her car with her legs hanging out the open door, lights up a cigarette. I'm washing my windshield and thinking "what a stoopid betch" Anyway as I'm on the island at the window washing bucket she closes her door and takes off with the gas nozzle still in the tank. I yell at her to stop but too late, the hose stretches about twice its normal length, like a thick rubber band, and then the nozzle pops out and it flies past me at lightning speed and hits the side of the gas pump putting a big dent in it. She gets out, cigarette still hanging out of her mouth and puts the nozzle back in the pump cradle, and takes off.

Lets hear your story.

Wow. Sorry to hear of it. Glad you didn't get fried.

Glad you're ok. And not in jail for killing her.

I seen that happen before

Meth?
Or some other drug?

Let's see...there was the time I was in the hospital when a nurse, and then a doctor argued with me and forced me to take the wrong meds even though I told them no, and I woke up as they were reviving me after my vitals disappeared.

And then there was the time I went to the doctor with a fever and the nurse decided I was low in fluids, so she gave me an IV, laid me on a table, and didn't finish connecting the tube, so I lost well over a quart of blood all over the floor. Luckily a friend of mine happened to decide to stop by the clinic to see if I needed anything. She came in and then went and got the nurse.

And then there was the time that the hospital staff put me in cardiac arrest while utterly botching some prep for a minor surgical procedure, by once again giving me the wrong things....

I've actually got several others, just involving medical professionals. But by all means, feel free to trust your doctor.

Your lucky hunt shoot. Doctors usual bury their mistakes. Edk

People voting democrat.

Oilfield work. Some of the brightest minds in the world. But also replete with some of the dumbest mother fuggers to ever draw a breath of air. Had several very close calls through the years. Typically by pressurized stuff put together by aforementioned dumb mother fuggers.

Grocery store today.... Plexiglas shields up at all the registers, disinfectant on all the shopping carts... everybody wearing masks.... then the check out guy is licking his fingers to try and get the plastic shopping bags to open.... I tell him he shouldn't be doing that..... he looks at me and does it again then in a passive aggressive kind of way says "these are just hard to get to open".... maybe not as malevolent as spitting in someone's food.... but really stupid....

In 1978, I got called out to a motor vehicle accident. As I left the house I saw a huge mushroom of fire in the sky. A tanker carrying 7,000 gallons of gasoline had rolled and blown up. Devastation like I have never seen!

After we had the fire out, there were still puddles of unburned gas everywhere. An insurance company rep. arrived and was taking photos. He took a pack of cigs out of his shirt pocket and removed one. My Chief stormed over to him and told him that if he tried to light it he'd knock him out cold, and ordered him to leave the scene. Chief Danny may well have saved our lives with those words.

Hope you got her number and gave it to the attendant.
Even if it didn't come off, that can cause a $hidt like of money.
Gasoline rated plumbing, with swivels, breakaway, nozzles
are really pricey. Also, there can be damage inside the dispenser.

Sometimes it's actually cheaper when it comes off.

People sitting in their car while pumping sends me into orbit.
Even see so called truck drivers do it.


Are you that [bleep]' lazy you can't stand there for 90 seconds.

Truck drivers? At a high delivery dispenser.
That thing falls out, you get a gallon before it shuts off.
If, it shuts off.

Ever see how far a gallon of diesel spreads on a hard surface.
Some places charge for the clean up.
They should.

My story is pretty simple--- WOMEN DRIVERS!

I used to hunt down river from Warsaw, KY. I was always hitting a gas station in Warsaw to top of the tank before driving in. One Sunday afternoon, I'm on my way out and a car full of kids pulls up behind me and the driver starts filling up at the pump behind me. He goes to light a cig, and I told him not to. He told me off. This was with a lit cig in the same hand as he was holding the handle with fumes spewing out of the fill hole.

I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I drove past the next weekend, and there was a lady at the same pump, smoking. I never went back.

I witnessed a bull dyke in a pickup in front of me at an automatic drive through car wash demolish the car wash and her pickup one day.

She somehow managed to get her pickup nearly sideways in the car wash....

Then started backing up and pulling forward until she finally got out of it, scattering parts all over the place.

I had written her license number down and called the owner to report it.

Crazy part, was you could see her screaming her lungs out through the windows of her pickup. 100% insane.

The scary part is that she has a driver's license and she's out on the road with the rest of us.

YEAH ! The Q balls RE elected Zero !! Couldn’t believe there were ENUFF
DUMB...... to do that TWICE ! ! !

This year ? ? ? ? ?

I stopped to help a guy who's truck had died on the roadside and a semi came down off the hill, gearing up for a run at the next up slope. He never even got on the brakes as he careened off the other side of the road and flipped the semi on it's side in the ditch. He was carrying rolled steel coils out of the mills in Youngstown, Ohio. Those coils started breaking loose when the flatbead rolled. 'Sounded like bombs going off. No small miracle that no one got killed. Turns out he was drunk and the load was way over weight.

Others come to mind from my days working as a rangemaster at a local rifle range. You name it, we saw it out there. Wrong rounds fired through rifles, scopes mounted backwards, scope mounted with the windage and elevation reversed. People hunching up on their scoes and the reulting bad cuts around the eye, guns getting pointed in places they shouldn't. Seemed like no matter how much you kept your head on a swivel watching for miss handled guns, someone alway ended up getting a muzzle pointed at them.

I used to go to a Mo Conservation Dept range. After the many things I saw over the years I haven't been back for a while. And it is going to get worse because we are close to deer season. I was helping one year at a conservation dept sight in day and TRYING to help this guy whom I wasn't sure knew where the bullet came out of the barrel. He told me he only takes head shots.I left after I sighted in his gun. I'm not sure he could hit a barn from INSIDE the barn. No more of that for me. I've worked inside a prison for 24 years. Hauled crooks to the ER by myself, but no more SIGHT IN DAYS for me. No more LIBERAL admin types either. I am retired. Go away and get off my porch, get off my lawn! Be Well ;-) RZ.

We have a sporting clays course open to the public at my gun club. Simple safety rules, you load your shotgun on the station. Hard to miss, its painted f#ucking orange. Non-member loads his fancy over and under 25 feet before the station and points it at me as he walks over. I was never in the military but my inner drill instructor voice came out. Dope wont ever do that again.

Went on a 3 day duck hunting trip on public water, 3 of us, buddy brought a coworker who talked a good game but we were quick to find out he didn't know squat. Showed up with a brand new beretta 390. Last day of hunt, I noticed the safety was off while it was laying against a tree. He tried to argue with me that red meant the safety was on. He hunted all 3 days with the gun like that.
