So it seems like everyday there's more and more dumb things being done by lets just say "not so bright people". Looks like this could be a good supplement to the joke thread. Sadly this could surpass it in a couple days.


From another thread the other day which deserves the first post.

According to CBS affiliate WABI, in Citrus County Fire Rescue was called out to the scene at a Homosassa, Florida, Texaco station yesterday morning. The Hummer owner had just filled four five-gallon jerry cans' worth of fuel and placed them in the back of the vehicle.

It's not clear what started the fire, but when emergency crews arrived the SUV was already, as the kids say, fire. The vehicle was a total loss. Photos show it completely singed and missing the hood and windows. One fender sat forlornly on the ground nearby.

I just want to see the common method these folks are using to get the fuel out of the plastic bags.

I don't think that'll be an issue. By the time she gets home the gas will have eaten through the plastic bag. lol

According to statement put out by Pickens County Sheriff's Office, Patterson 'accelerated her vehicle in an attempt to elude law enforcement' before she 'lost control of the car' and it flipped over at the side of the roadway.

The vehicle immediately caught fire and multiple explosions were heard inside before Patterson emerged from the Pontiac doused in flames.

'The deputy pushed Patterson to the ground in order to put out the flames," the sheriff's office stated.

She was subsequently rushed to hospital, but the severity of her burns has not yet been publicly disclosed.

Patterson has admitted to police that she was hoarding gas in the trunk of the car,

I would love to know what actually caused that to happen.

Me too. It looks like the oil has never been changed and maybe the car sat for a long time? Either way that's the worst seize I've seen. lol
