We pulled up to the gas pumps to fill up and as I waited for my turn, I realized that the young man was holding the pump handle with one hand and a smoking cigarette in the other. I rolled my window down and told him that smoking while pumping wasn't very smart in this heat. He looked at me like I was crazy as I told him that the explosive nature of gasoline is in it's vapors. I asked him if he had ever seen someone that had been burned by a gasoline fire and he responded with they were just stupid. I also mentioned the signs that very clearly said NO SMOKING WITHIN 50 FEET. He wouldn't stop either one and fortunately finished and left. So, was he just stupid or what? I just couldn't believe any one would do that, especially in this heat.
