This didn't happen to me so I'm putting it in Sightings. I was talking to a customer about our Christmas Eve emergency; ie, a massive petrol spillage on the forecourt that we had to call in the fire brigade as a result. I mentioned that my collegue Shaun took a lot of flak from SCs who ignored the coned off forecourt and fire engine to drive in the back, try the pumps then storm into the shop to bitch.
She told me that in the petrol station where she works, they once had an incident where some dipstick threw a cigarette end into a forecourt bin and set it up in flames. Place was closed off, evacuated and the firebrigade called... however, there were still idiots driving in and trying to get petrol. O_o
You'd think people would have a sense of self preservation where fire and flammable vapour/liquid is concerned, but no.
