I think you missed my post. It supposedly happened here. I can't find the news link yet but I'll keep looking for it. It caused legislation to be passed to avoid it.Quote:

Mind-bogglingly minimal. And it hasn't happened yet.
If it happens, it means you suck and you were never meant to fill a gas tank and talk at the same time. God says so.
I really mean no offense, but "supposedly happened" and "happened" are very, very different things.Quote:

It was on the news here that it happened but since I haven't found the news link I'm not going to be 100% adamant about it because I may be wrong about the circumstances. I do remember the incident was all over the place here and prompted the legislation to be passed and the fire marshal to get all Nazi-ish about inspecting gas stations.Quote:
