Husky gas station on 153rd and about 70th something...

Whats wrong with the cell phone sign?

Tech2
Maybe the bosses are afraid people will walk by and call the workers who will answer while using the jackhammer and the jackhammer guy will pick up his phone and lose control of the jackhammer and the jackhammer will go onto peoples' cars and into people's houses and we will hear on the news about 21 people killed in a horrible jackhammer accident caused by cell phones.

It's like one of those obvious things that you should never be doing.

It's like having those signs that state not stopping for red lights can kill... Well big fucking duh!.

The fact that they have to put signs up begging drivers not to use their phones in this area is like they acknowledge driving and talking on the phone is acceptable behavior.

Holy crap, that is exactly what I was thinking :D

You're missing one little thing. A large number of people view it acceptable to use their cellphone while they should be concentrating on driving. And I bet that if you asked those people, they would either see nothing wrong with what they were doing, or they would say it was "just for a second."

The sign is there because of the reality, regardless of whether or not chatting on the phone while driving is acceptable behavior.

Oh, and they do have ads that caution people not to drive through red lights. Guess why? Because people still do, probably while they're talking on their cell phones.

The wheelchair one obviously means that you can bring crippled people that are a burden to you there and they will douse them in gas and burn them for you.

Tech2
LOL!

Or with gas as expensive as it is, you can get fuel as an exchange.

"Gas is getting out of hand. It cost me six cripples to drive to Digby and back!"



I'm getting nothing this Christmas. :blink:

Don't you think that this sort of thing you wish should have been weeded out by the drivers exam? I sure do...

Why even have a drivers exam anymore? Just hop in and being acting like a cock right from the get go?

We have a drivers exam? I thought it was more of an optional thing? I was watching Canada's Worst Driver on Discovery the other day and a couple of the 'contestants' had received their license through some form of bribery.

How exactly would you weed out such people? A drivers exam wouldn't do it. Actually, the problem has nothing to do with driving at all. Responsibility, good judgment, common sense, experience, and focus aren't things that you can just give to people or really test for.

It's really just a part of an accelerating societal problem.

AudiInProgress
That's the funniest sign I have ever seen!

Orzel_pl
The sign is clearly stating that the Amish are confused as shit as to how to operate a gas pump, so the Disabled come and assist them.

Amen to that brotha.

rexxrally
I remember a few years back, at 75th street and Argyll Road, right up high next to the traffic lights, there was a sign that said

"Caution - Signals Change"

Well, DUH!

(I think they meant "Caution - Signal Patterns Change")

AudiInProgress
I think that it means, if you're in a wheelchair, don't bother getting out of your car... Pulling your wheelchair and sitting there filling your own gas tank, because for you, there will be full service...

Just a guess though.

I bet there will be someone out there that will get offended

AudiInProgress
Why? A Hoe is a gardening tool, so it fits the store perfectly, if it had said "Ho" instead... That's a different story.

Orzel_pl
or if the M burnt out and it looked like it said Prostitution Palace.

Cyanide Ride
Thread grave digging...


Buy a house with a bunny who's an established ass!





Guess which automotive company prefers men 10 times out 10? (NOT a photoshop!)

They're called Fischer Aerospace Group, based out of Ontario. And they make ball bearings.

Its hilarious as hell, that FAG makes balls. Their balls are on everything from Chrysler's to BMW's.

Are you serious?! :D

CKXtreme
Unfortunately yes, I'm quite serious. I only know this because I had a guy who worked for me, and he moved out to the 'burbs of TO and got a job there.

Hes a quality control inspector of one the lathe sections that make the bigger stuff for industrial purposes.

So... he left a pretty lucrative fitness industry related position to work as a quality control inspector, making sure all the balls that FAG produces are of the strictest quality standards.

.... Yup....

In fact, keeping in touch with the guy, here are some makes/models of cars with FAG products (they dont JUST make ball bearings, pretty much anything aluminum/steel that can be designed on a CAD and machined on a lathe or with lasers and shit):

- Any Chrysler HEMI product
- Lexus' with the 3.5L V6 & the IS-F V8
- BMW M5/M6 V10s
- GM V8's
&
- Most Boeing airplanes

SilverNeonRacer

So not only does is he a FAG employee, he works on the biggest balls the company deals with?

CKXtreme

Anyone see the reserved parking spaces right up FRONT with the handicap spaces at Ikea?

Guess what the sign says their reserved for. HYBRIDS. Wtf? Shouldn't they park further away? Doesn't cost them anything to drive around looking for a spot.
