What!?! No Smoking Near Fireworks?
I got berated this morning from a clerk at the gas station for no good reason. Big deal if I hand her a $20 for a 74 cent drink! Big deal if she has to count out $19.26 in change!
I’ve had issues at this gas station before. What I thought was quite humorous was this sign on the front door. Yes folks, they are asking that you please not smoke inside near the fireworks. The sad part is that somewhere, at some point, someone was smoking where fireworks are sold and it probably set off a few bottle rockets - which led to this warning sign.
I’m not even sure why they are still selling fireworks, but surely most people would be smart enough not to smoke at a gas station in the first place! Let alone around fireworks.
Most people yes, but apparently there are people who need a warning sign like this. The Parent Bloggers Network is talking about wacky warning labels such as on everyday products we use.
In today’s world do we really need all these warnings to protect ourselves (and companies) from getting sued? There are record numbers of frivolous lawsuits tying up our court system. Check out “Sick of Lawsuits” for more information on lawsuit abuse.
If you have a wacky warning label you can participate too! Go over to PBN for more info.

My name is Emily. I’m 30 years old. I have often been told that I ask a lot of questions, but I think I have more to say than ask.
Um. How about Huge amounts of gasoline. No smoking please! I got a picture in my email recently of a sign - please don’t throw your butts on the floor. The roaches are getting cancer.
Next time you go, buy a pack of gum with pennies.
Oh you troublemaker, you! Using actual money to pay for a drink. Geez, they weren’t trained to make change, don’t you know that?!?!
And yes, some other troublemaker was puffing a butt right next to the cherry bombs and thus, a stupid sign was born.
my favorite is always, “Caution. Hot Coffee.”
DUH.
your sign is amazing.
Snicker. I like the “please” in small print.
