Quoth CyberLurch View PostI wish I could get people to understand that - and that the distant ground should be connected LAST. Every time I warn someone of this, I get the 'Well, I've never had a battery blow up on me YET..." excuse.

Sarcasm dear, sarcasm. I’m well aware that dealing with civilians in any capacity will skin your faith in humanity alive, then pickle anything that remains so as to watch it shrivel up into an immortal husk thus reminding you of how dead inside you now are.

I pumped gas for a living for 8 or so years. We never stopped people from smoking in their cars while we pumped the gas. And when we would smoke we did it 5 to 10 feet away from the pumps.
We also had people jump start cars right next to the pumps and even on top of the tank openings.
Am I saying there isn't anything to worry about? Nope but it is a very small chance.

^ This. Back in the old days, most idiots didn't survive long enough to replicate themselves; nowadays, thanks to health and safety, the idiot population survives and breeds yet more idiots. So these measures are necessary.
Even if if it is a small chance, do you really want to be that one in a hundred who sets it off? Like this guy here:

Quoth taxguykarl View PostIf that idiot thought lighting a smoke at the gas pump was a good idea, chances are, he wouldn't notice the fire extinguisher.

The reason there is a warning about open flames on gasoline cans is because somewhere, some idiot thought it would be a really good idea to check to see how much was in his gas can by striking a match for illumination in that dark little hole.
And we all know why McDonald's coffee cups are labeled 'CAUTION - CONTENTS HOT' now. RIGHT?!

Quoth Lace Neil Singer View PostI facepalm every time I see the "warning, contains nuts" on bags of nuts. I bloody well hope they have nuts inside, or else I've just bought a bagful of salty air."It is traditional when asking for help or advice to listen to the answers you receive" - RealUnimportant

Quoth greek_jester View PostSomething that obvious either means someone sued successfully for not having a warning about nuts on it, or the company has just become so litigation-shy that they're slapping Duh!warnings on everything in sight just to avoid problems.
