I’m amazed they haven’t filed attempted murder charges against this retard.
Earning a Darwin Award is one thing. But you aren’t supposed to hurt somebody else doing it. He could have ignited a fireball that would have taken out everybody at that gas station.
Let’s not insult retarded people by comparing them to this waste of meat and blood.
Unless it’s somehow obvious he was joking, he should be charged w/ attempted murder.
That’s a good point. He’s dumber than dumb.
I cringe whenever I see some fool smoking and fueling up their car. Seeing someone hold up a lighter while fueling. :eek: I’d be very tempted to jump in my car and just drive off. The heck with filling up my car. My life is worth more than the bucks I prepaid for gas.
Darwin Award winners actually have to die. This guy was stupid for no reason.
It’s unfortunate that the prankster received only minor injuries. His poor wife got significant burns.
Exactly. He’s not eligible for the award.
If he had burned off his testicles but lived would he qualify for a Darwin award? I’ve never read the fine print.
Guess he’ll just have to try again.
exactly what was he hoping would happen?
The classic example of a Darwin Award Winner, in my opinion, is the alpine hunter who shot a mountain goat on a precipice immediately above him. The goat fell from its position and collided with great force with said alpine hunter, who then fell to his death over the next precipice.
Yes. The criteria is rendering oneself dead or sterile. Cite.
Just this past week, my husband was fueling up when he smelled smoke - and to his shock, he saw a senior citizen smoking a cigarette while gassing up her car. He got as far as a polite, “Um, excuse me, ma’am…” and she told him to go fuck himself! :eek: His response was something to the effect of ‘I hope you only take yourself out when you cause a fire someday.’
No one got killed. This story merits only a half Darwin point.
I think the proper and polite response should have been “Put that fucking cigarette out, bitch, or I’ll call the cops on you for reckless endangerment”.
Also note that killing others disqualifies you, and injuring others is “frowned upon”.
Seems unfair that he gets no Darwin Award. Perhaps he’d be able to qualify if his wife gets out of the hospital and sets him on fire. Repeatedly, if necessary.
Huh. Never knew about the sterility clause.
No kidding. Judging from the video she would have been just fine if he hadn’t removed the nozzle from the car and flung flaming gas directly at her!
A former flight attendant once told me that their standard procedure when someone was smoking in the restroom on a flight was to break in with a fire extinguisher and put it out. For safety.
Yes, you can see she hasn’t caught fire until he does this and it sprays flames on her. That’s attempted murder in my book. I hope wherever they live has enough money to prosecute him fully and not allow any pleas.
