Sounds like it's just what you've been looking for. Won't miss a thing there!
TripperFan 12-09-2007, 03:01 PM Yeah we've got those stupid things too. Mostly just adverstising for windshield wiper blades, etc. or safe driving tips.
Meanwhile, the way those things are angled you have to be 6'5" to see them properly. I'm waiting for the guy that gets so involved he starts overflowing his gas tank while he's filling it.

That would be really wild

Especially if he's standing next to the dump broad yapping on a cell phone. When are people going to learn to turn those things off when they're pumping gas. I can't believe how often I've seen that. Why don't they just have a nice big king size smoke going too?! :rolleyes:

Those tv screens aren't showing programs, they are merely advertising.

As my grandmom would say-"ADVERTISING WHAT?

Ireneparalegal 12-09-2007, 05:44 PM Just like television with their commercials, except these t.v.'s don't have programming/shows. JUST COMMERCIALS. :lol:

Nope. Can you imagine how many people would be standing there if that were the case? People with no where to go would be loitering. :lol: Besides, those tv's don't turn on (the ones here) until someone is pumping their gas. Once they leave the pump, the tv goes off. I keep calling it a tv, it is a flatscreen.

Actually, according to Myth Busters, you really can't cause an explosion with a cell phone.
However, I have seen people fill up while the vehicle was still running, and that made me VERY nervous.

Thats illegal here, if they catch you they shut off the pumps
Stormtracker TF 12-11-2007, 05:45 AM I've yet to ever see those around here. Then again, they'd probably be stolen before anybody ever seen them. :lol:
