Re: Smoking at the Pump + cell phones

Ya got me to! Good one.

And it's as dangerous to be yakking on a cell phone while pumping gas. Under some conditions, especially if you touch a grounded object while handling a cell, a small static discharge can happen. Gasoline vapors + small spark == boom.

Most gas pumps even have small stickers on them telling folks not to use their cell while pumping gas.

I see folks doing it all the time though. That's a ID==10T error waiting to happen.
