    Yesterday when I was coming back to my truck after I had to go in to prepay for my fuel I noticed a commercial big truck wrecker was sitting behind me, mind you there were 3 other sets of pumps open. Well I put the fuel nozzles in my tanks and got in the truck to get my jacket on because of the wind. Anyway this wrecker slams in to reverse backs up and snatches his truck into gear and goes roaring through the fuel island. Obviously he didn't need fuel. That's another death waiting to happen.

    Well it's not like a dragging body creates a very noticeable difference... Maybe a clunking noise or something.

    I used to make it a point, with examples, to trainees just how easy it is to get killed or maimed at the fuel island / truck stop.

    I say examples, because at any given time you will witness completely careless behavior by both the people driving around and walking around.

    We got zombies, in a trance on that device, them should have a point system, then when we get the zombies from the second coming from hundreds of years ago it will be a gallery.
