Yeah, cuz people are stupid. -.- This girl's car wouldn't start, so she called over her brother to help her. That isn't the sucky part; she made the call in the kiosk. No, the suckiness comes out when I look out the window and notice that her brother seems to be planning to jump start the car on the forecourt.
As anyone with common sense knows, you do not use jump leads on a petrol station forecourt, cuz of the risk of sparks and the ever present petrol vapour. So I rush outside to stop them. This is where the suckiness starts.
I tell the girl she can't have her car jumpstarted on the forecourt, she replies, "Well then, we'll just do it there." She points to the tanker bay, the place where the tankers unload the fuel and where the fuel tanks just happen to be. I tell her no, she gets huffy and says, "You're being really unfair! Where are we supposed to do it then?" I inform her of the risk of an explosion due to petrol vapour, she replies with, "What vapour? I can't see it!"
I wearily inform her that it's invisible, but a single spark could start off an explosion. She replies, "I don't care. I want my car started up!" Luckily, at this point, her brother intervenes. He tells me that he knows I'm only doing my job, and that he's going to push his sister's car out into the road and is that ok? I say it is as long as they're not blocking traffic. Once they're safely by the side of the road, I go back inside.
I mean, seriously? You could cause an explosion which would kill not only you, but everyone else on site, and you don't care?! Bitch please.

This was on 1 of my favorite tv shows "A 1000 ways to die". 2 dumbass crooks who liked to syphon peoples' gas tanks were using a hose and sucked it out with their mouths. It starts to make them queezy and sick, so they decide they need another way to get the gas out. Well guess what? Dumb and dumber got a vacuum cleaner and sucked out the gas and it worked fine for a few seconds, until it sparked and blew them to smitherines 
Well, at least that's 2 less stupid people in the world, and a few billion more to go 
... assuming that's a true story, can't recall where I read it.
