It's a Gas!!

Fri Jul 25, 2008, 1:32 PM
  • Mood: Alarmed
I got a call from my wife while I was at work. She smelled gas, and had opened up the windows and ran a fan. I luckily work just across the street and she came over so we could look up the number of the gas company and call together. Apparently one of our apartment neighbors had left the stove on all night. Seems weird that I didn't smell anything before I left for work in the morning.

Even weirder was the receptionist on the phone. She told us not to use cell phones near the building because that could ignite a spark. Ummm... okayyyyyy. Someone doesn't watch Mythbusters.

This is one of the reasons I never wanted gas in my new home - unfortunately, to get the rebates etc, I had to go to the dark side. Glad it worked out for you.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

wow, fancy that. Pretty cool no one died, and even cooler no one decided to smoke as they walked past your house or anything o.o
I didn't know mobile phones had a myth about starting fires. I'm always the last to get the messages.
Oh well, at least I know it's not true now so if I do come across someone/something telling me that, I'll know not to believe it.

I've opened up my eyes
Seen the world for what it's worth
Tears rain down from the sky
They'll blow it all to bits
To prove whose god wields all the power
Fire rains down from the sky
:iconlazymuffin:
wasn't it a phone? :C
:icondynamicsketch:
The ad I saw years ago said to not use a telephone. I don't think cellphones can cause sparks, can they?

Mythbusters is awesome. I haven't seen it in a long time, though.
